Update: board games, Radar, Domestication.
I have fully learned to play chess. I was also introduced/learned to play Othello and Abalone. For most of our days that is what we spend our time doing, along with playing Soul Caliber, Doom 3 and Chthulhu Munchkin.... which is kind of annoying to play with only 2 people. Technically you need at least 3 to fully enjoy Munchkin.
Well, I have been sitting here thinking for a while what else to get into. Surely there is plenty topics, just not sure what to say. I will wait until it comes naturally. Thinking too much doesn't help.
Hmm.. Radar is doing well, but he is getting old. Maybe next year we will get him a young friend. I don't want to replace him, but Radar seems lonely. I think he misses his chinchilla friends. He always had a playmate or a friend to react with. We want to get a cat, but Radar isn't calm enough for that. No point in risking it. I already risked my first chinchilla before he became friends and protector of the others.
I could talk about the snow, it's far over my head now, it's higher in our yard because we have a fence and trees on one side and the wind seems to always blow there. Not much else I want to bother to talk about that. I caught radar hopping happily, like a young fawn, over the banks, even though I dug a spot for him.
What about Mike? I have trouble describing people almost as much as I have trouble describing myself when some one asks "what are you like?" "what do you like?" I think it is because he is like me. Of course there are differences. I think it is always easier to answer specific questions. At the moment he is watching TV lying on the floor like a kid next to Radar.
I can't fix my computer. It is too alien to me. Mike knows a friend who may be able to help. Part of me wants to save it as a back up computer. This one is finally starting to get slow, but as long as I keep it just for basics it will be around much longer[my notebook air]. I almost purchased a computer tower the other day, but my bank shut my card down because of the area I am purchasing from. I called them last time to get it back and let them know it's me. I need to call them and make them aware of exactly what I'm purchasing, where I'm using my card and the amount. I purposely have very low max amount because I have had my card used in the past. Different card, same bank. So, once I stop being lazy and call my bank again, I will be getting a new tower. I want to start playing WoW again.
We have a lot to do with this house. The basement was occupied by his ex roommate[friend] and that guy's 9 year old son. they sort of trashed the basement. Mike was working on cleaning it up all last year little by little. Now it's just storing or getting rid of their things they decided they didn't want... which was a LOT. Organize is. Fix it up. We want art rooms. We both have been slacking in that department, but when you have a play to do JUST that, it gives more motivation. At least for myself. I use to focus much better staying after at CCRI using the empty studios. The are 2 spare bedrooms. One is actually a bedroom, most of my stuff is in there that isn't put away. It's where family or people stay when they come to visit. The other he calls "the office" but it's just unorganized boxes of tools, a giant dead tv, extra mattress and Radar's dog food. Can barely walk in that room. We will work on it eventually. We are both procrastinators.
What else... I donno. I've been cooking meals often. Feels good cooking meals for someone or even having my own kitchen again and cooking for myself. I haven't decorated a Christmas tree or put up any decorations in many years, maybe since my childhood. That felt nice. Very domesticated ;P I use to always want to, especially Halloween, but never felt like it or thought too much about having to clean it up later.
Well, I think I'm going to end this for now. Most of my posts I think will just be short random thoughts or of the day. Usually when I return I try to update about my life as if I'm introducing myself to a fresh new written journal, or say I'm back or talk about past crap from this journal, so I did a slight update, but more about things that randomly came to mind.
By for now.
