in your world

a lot of people make a lot out of their day.
i'm simply content with getting by right now. vying time before
i hit the hay.

my parents came up this weekend and cleaned out the condo.
now my brother has a nice little place that's cat and dog free.
it's almost like we were never there... except the painted room we
were staying in. (light green with blue trim).

work has been slow but continually stressful. i dream of having a cubicle.
no chance of that ever happening. i always feel like i need to be working ever single second of the day. but honestly, i think people are more productive when they get to take a minute or two to un-focus. otherwise, they drift on into this "numb" stage where productivity sinks to the negatives. sometimes i work so long that i enter my zombie stage, at which point i'm blankly staring with no real consciousness.

my parents came over and stayed at our new house. they loved the second floor porch. they said it was like being on vacation. they gave us a house warming present, a set of new silverware. they also gave jeremy his bday present from last week. it was a new dvd player. that makes four dvd players we have now.. and only two tvs!! heh.

we still want to have a garage sale. the formal living is completely packed with garage sale items.. which is okay for now since we have no furniture to put there. we've decided to stop buying stuff for now until we can recoup.

other than that, we've been spending most of our free time playing FF11. I'm a white mage tarutaru..and jerms is a female human warrior. my brother is a mithra red mage..but he's many levels ahead of us since he started a week or so before us. it's the first MMRPG i've ever played. i really like it a lot. you seriously can get lost in this world. i can see how people could lose their jobs and loved ones.. heh. it doesn't seem to be as bad as everquest but i've never actually touched that stuff before. i'll stick to the small drugs. :)

it's also a very smart game. by smart, i mean, you actually have to apply brain power to play the game. that's the great thing about video games that a lot of people don't understand. some of these games are immensely complex and require a good amount of research. i don't equate video games with tv. TV is what you do to relax. gaming is what you do to have fun. and sometimes fun is work.

but i'm quitting early tonight because i need to wake up early tomorrow. i need to start getting to work a little earlier. by bosses are really flexible but every now and then i think it's good to show you do have some respect for their rules.
