It’s been a busy month. After the Rise of Honor get together (at which precious few were actually still in Rise of Honor, sigh) I started playing the blasted video game again. I managed to stay away from it for three months which is good but I’ve managed to log in and do something almost every day since I reactivated my account. Add to that various personal / family dramas and the end of the quarter at work and I have not had time to post nor really anything worth posting about. The table continues, though progress has slowed to a crawl. I am putting the finish coats on the pieces and I have to wait two hours between coats so I’m limited in the amount of work I can do at any one time. Also Summer has appeared and the garage is now powerfully uncomfortable to spend more than five minutes in before about 10:00 in the evening.
All of the above has caused me to slack off on my rowing. I decided to remedy that this week and I have rowed at least a half hour every day since Tuesday. The thing that has ultimately brought me here to make a post is that today I did a 1000 Calorie workout. I’m pleased and I’m not completely dead so that’s nice as well. It took me 1:16:03 to tick over the thousands digit on the counter and the machine claims that I traveled 16,906 imaginary meters doing it. Good for me.
I expect I will continue playing the video game. It is pretty fun after all. I’ve been doing the lvl 70 non-heroic 5-man instances with Warren, Josh, John and whoever else is interested. Keiran has reverted to a more standard Australian schedule since his return so I haven’t been on much when he’s been on and vice versa. The folks that left RoH back in March have been asking me to join their raiding guild but I really can’t afford to start that business up again. It takes a fantastic amount of time and can be very frustrating. I think I’d like to try a heroic instance this week and start getting some badges of justice for the fancy equipments available for them. So much to do without even setting foot in a raid instance. As long as I can keep up with the rowing and the table and, you know, eating and stuff I don’t see why not. It may be possible to enjoy the game and not get obsessed with it.
The Flugtag is coming up in August. I’ve actually started seeing advertisements for it on some of the websites I visit. I think I’m going to try to attend the event this time regardless of the heat. It would be fun to see people with more motivation and time than I have throw themselves in the lake. I guess that’s it for now. Perhaps I’ll post again this coming week. Let’s all hold our breath.
