I'm Just Plain Nuts

Blasted Clock
My body clock's taken a turn for the worse. To think I used to criticize some friends for this problem. Less the pressure of work and school forcing me to get up before 0900, my first glimpse of the sun everyday occurs at noon. I drag myself out of bed, have lunch, read about a hundred pages of anyone of the 5 books I happen to be reading at the moment. Later in the day, I feel the lethargy of having done nothing at all set in and so I guiltily trot off toward the gym - my most productive two hours in the day. I reach home for dinner and because I've woken up too late I find myself wide and awake till 0300 the next morning. Grrr. Can't wait for school!!!

Where Are All My Stuff?????!!!!
Its terribly irritating to lend stuff to people and not get it back. Its just plain disgusting, uncivil not to mention something a friend should never do. But thats the problem I've encountered time and again. Every once in awhile I go looking for some book, game or program that I've not seen in awhile. Alas its always the same story. I lend it to somebody thinking that the chap's a responsible individual who'd taked care of his friend's property and put a priority on returning it. This is very often NOT the case. Grrr. Sometimes people just suck.

Good Games Are Like Drugs
I really feel like playing a good game or two. The last three years however have seen a torrent of very mediocre and crappy games flood the market. Good games are like drugs. They take hold of you and mercilessly grab a 100% of your attention. Once upon a time a great game would hit the shelves and I'd be completely sunk into it - I'd ignore sleep, human interaction, food, drink (basically the things a normal human being does on an average day). Take STARCRAFT and the original C&C for example. Those were the games that had a life span of 2-3 years and provided constant entertainment for the young and old, male and (some) females alike. Sigh. What do we get these days? Nowadays we get violent, anti-social games like MAFIA, crappy soccer games like FIFA or just plain senseless stuff like DOTA. Geesh. Appeal to game creators: please produce something playable!

I'm just plain nuts actually ;p
