I have played no WoW.
I know. It's kind of disturbing. But since I leveled Ejhin's Jewelcrafting to 130 Monday night (yes, I stayed up until 3am...), I have had no time to play. Well, that's not entirely true. I've been working 12-hour days this week (following a previous week of 10-hour days), but I've been getting home at approximately 8pm most nights. (This is being written from work on a 5-minute sanity break between crises.) So, technically, I could have been playing for a couple hours before I went to my well-deserved rest. But truthfully, I've barely had the energy to boil water for a quick dinner and pour myself a drink before dropping bonelessly into my couch for CSI: Miami. Even reading takes too much thinking, and after a day of crucial decision after crucial decision, I don't really want to make any calls more complicated than "Indian or Italian?" So something like playing around in Outland or even getting my Jewelcrafting or Tailoring higher...ugh. I'm not sure I can stomach it right now.
This weekend isn't going to be entirely relaxing either, as I foolishly permitted myself to be shanghaied into attending a 10 hour 40k tournament on Saturday. It'll be my first tournament for 40k in...um...3 years? Yikes. I don't think I've played competitively since I won Best General at the 2004 Seattle GT. In the interim, a new rule set and a new codex for my Eldar have been released! I still think I'll do pretty well, though -- I know Eldar SO well, and my army will be a pretty straightforward one. I was going to try and do something complicated and crazy with the new Avatar, but I think I'll wait until I have my pretty Forge World one assembled and painted. Plus, thinking about army lists goes under the heading of "too complicated" at the moment.
Actually, pretty much everything goes under that heading, even things which desperately need attending to. I've been pretty miserable the last couple of weeks, and it's not just the hours I've been putting in at work. To some extent, the hours are actually helping, since they keep me too tired to dwell on my melancholy. Still, it sucks. I wouldn't mind being happy again.
Pleasant somethings.
