You must excuse the lack of updates lately. It’s summer! Seriously. I’m just too busy with my “x-treme” high-octane, globe-trotting, martini-drinking, break-dancing, roof-rasin’, pants-optional lifestyle to sit at the computer all day! If you don’t believe that, then perhaps you’ll listen to me rant about the pitfalls of writing for a website with a web-client that doesn’t ask you to save when you restart your computer. No, huh? I lost a lot of work ya know. You don’t care?
Fine. Then listen to me speak favourably about the so-called “degradation” of the weather. So there’s rain, clouds, and wind in the middle of August. I say it’s an improvement! And that’s not because I need justification for my “x-treme”-ly underwhelming, low-impact, shut-in, introverted, pale-skinned, pants-optional lifestyle. I’m just tired of looking out the window and seeing all the sunshine land on other people. I’m inside with no sun, and they’re outside with sun. It sets off a deep-rooted paranoia I have that other people may be having more fun than I am.
Man, I hate that. I try not to think of it too much, but I’m sure that right now, someone is having a better time than me (it had better not be you – I’ll cut you!). In fact, there are probably lots of people having a better time than me! Arrgh! How come I’m not doing what they’re doing? I want to be there too, so I can either join in or make sure they stop having fun so I don’t have to worry about them.
It’s not that I’m having a bad time. Life is good. But maybe it could be better! Maybe I could listen to more interesting music. Or eat at more funky restaurants. Or wear more fashionable clothes. Or hang out with cooler friends! Yeah…
We’d all hang out at funky restaurants in our fashionable clothes and talk about all the interesting music we were listening to. We’d say “wow, I’m having such a great time right now” and “man, I’d feel sorry for everyone else, but that would be too much of a downer” and “that piece is nice, good composition obviously – but I tend to like his earlier work”. Sigh…
Instead, I hang out in my own house, wearing my nerdy clothes, and talk about computers, and computer related issues. I say things like “wow, I’m having such a frustrating time right now” and “man I’d feel sorry for people who don’t have a computer, but I can’t email them the appropriate emoticon anyhow” and “aww crap, they’re in our base, killing our dudes! someone hop in a mega-flyer and nuke ‘em!”
I guess I sort of enjoy that stuff too. Maybe just a little. It helps that my paranoia is not nearly as strong as the intense hatred I feel towards people who are normal, or even “cool”. Have you ever hung out with those people? They’re actually really lame. Most of them don’t even have broadband.

On a side note, I just finished playing a bit of good ol’ Quake. You know what? I think the sucker looks better in 320×240. I dunno, playing in 1280×1024 was like taking off the beer goggles….but yet you’re still drunk because the dogs lack any animation and teleport from keyframe to keyframe forcing you to squint and also not look at the strobbing white lights in the background.
