Boredom and video games go together?
Jun. 25th, 2006 08:50 pmI'm updating because I'm mighty bored.
You know, during school/finals, I feel inspired to write, I'm in the mood to read, I plan things like 'when I have time, I'll do this/that'. And then, vacations come, and... blank. No Muse, no mood, no nothing. The only thing I'm in the mood to do is play computer games - but since I'm on a laptop, I must not play for a long time, because otherwise my screen crashes.
Does it happen to you too? (Not the screen-crashing, the boredom.)
On a happier note, it seems that my laptop can burn DVD+RWs. Oh, the possibilities! I'll be able to burn the La Mentira episodes, which are eating up my HD space (Delete them?? Are you out of your mind??) and get some free space to install Zoo Tycoon again. I haven't played it in two years, and I miss it. Also, I'm planning to buy The Sims 2 Open For Business Expansion Pack during the summer. And will need some free space for it, too. I tried to make some by burning in CDs the L&C music videos and trailers I had, but they didn't even fill up two CDs.
And because I'm still bored, I'm off to play The Sims 2. Betcha it will crash immediately - it has a tendency to do that when I don't start the game right after I turn on the computer.
Hmm, on second thought, I'll turn it off for a while first. (How pathetic is it that I can never manage to remember the proper wording - on second thought, on second thoughts, on a second thought...? I always have to resort to checking No Excuse, where I've used it and it's been GE'd.)
Random thought of the day: The most annoying thing about summer in Greece (and many other places, I'm sure) is the multitude of mosquitoes. *scratches bites*
Oof (spelled like that to convey relief, unlike 'ouf', which conveys disappointment and tiredness... at least in my dialect), posting here made me feel better and took away some of my boredom. I guess I just needed to talk to somebody. And I just love that about the Internet; it gives you the chance to say what you want to say and get the feeling that you're actually talking to someone, even if at the end of the day nobody reads what you're saying. Because you can imagine people just read it and didn't comment. Unlike RL, where talking to the void is very frustrating.
Off on mosquito-extinguishing mission... (aka. putting on an insect-repellent tablet.) And then it's The Sims 2 time... or maybe...? *checks TV guide* No, nothing interesting on tonight. Ah well.
See ya,
Anna :)
