Today was yet another long day...I really think that their only long because I'm not sleeping that well. I was exhausted last night and went to lay down at a little before eleven. Sure enough sometime around two came around before I could actually sleep. I don't know what it is or why but I'm dead. Class actually went alright today. Work was long but though the kids were wired they were for the most part well behaved. At this point I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I know that if I go to bed at 5 I'm going to be up at two pacing and frustrated so I'm not going to bed yet. I'm going to try and make a few games that I got this week work. Halo works now...I'm sure you're all psyched for me...Working on Age of Empires but it keeps asking for the disk so I'm going to try and get that working and also try and get Warcraft working. Why is it that most games are based in the future or way in the past? I recognize the intrigue...but wouldn't it also be intriguing if you had to play a game that was in real locations with real voice actors. Take New York for example or San Francisco. Wouldn't it be fun to walk around in a role playing game and talk with people on Pier 39 or Walk into Ghiradelli Square and have some sort of job to do or something...Maybe a puzzle game like Myst...I'm kind of tired of all the violence existing in todays video games...it's gets really old real fast. The most popular games out there are ones where you try and kill other humans. Isn't that a little bit twisted. Ok...maybe I don't have as big of a problem with killing aliens or spaceships...but games are so realistic now..has anyone played Hitman or Splinter Cell. You can hear people groan and see the blood splatter when you shoot someone. Maybe that's why there are no games about the present...Violence appears to sell but they can keep people detatched enough that it doesn't seem real. Anyway...enough ranting on that...Meg...I guess the reason that my LJ's are so long Is because I don't just note the big ideas of what's happened in my life. I try and let people know what I'm thinking and feeling by showing them instead of just telling them. Little thing but it makes for longer entries. Anyway...I'm going to go now and maybe play a game..hee hee...or maybe just try and relax and read...Hope everyone's doing well and hope to hear from people soon...Timmy
