    Dragon Age: End
    I ... I finished. It's over. Took me 94 hours, but I got to the ending. Hell's bananas that took a long time. Now what do I do?

    I guess I could always just play a second character. So much stuff in the game still to experience!

    If you don't get it, you never will
    I have sunscreen. It says to store it below 30C. I'm not sure the makers realise what people use their product for.

    Who are you and what have you done with itches?
    I turned off Dragon Age today, and sat down to watch some TV. The lure of Top Gear Winter Olympics and Good News Week overwhelmed that of Dwarven cities.

    It only took 66 hours and a really hot, really shit day.

    The more things change
    ***A post written up yesterday - then not posted because of ... well you'll see.***

    Well I just spent 12 hours straight playing Dragon Age. After getting home yesterday and starting to play it at 7:30pm and going all the way to 4am. And after going to sleep at about 5:30am and getting up at 10am - so I could play some more.

    I think I'm going to give my 360 a break and stop for a while.

    Dragon Age
    I swore that I wouldn't play it on a weekday night, knowing that if I did I might play very late and fuck myself up for the next day of work. I got home at 18:00 yesterday evening, started playing by 18:30 and turned it off at 01:00 the next morning.

    I should have known better.

    I have a new lover
    Dragon Age owns me now. We're going to run away and get married and become rock stars and be happy forever!

    That reminds me. I need to register a Dragon Age Journeys account so I can play a version of when I'm at work and away from my 360.

    Giving Up
    I don't even try to stay awake on the train home anymore. I'm just so damn tired, I know that I'll wake up before my stop and I've got a window seat so I'm not going to be blocking anyone in. Helps it go faster too.

    Interesting stuff is happening to me, stuff I could write a post about that would fascinate you. But I'm tired and this is easier.

    Star Trek
    Well after many dramas I finally saw Star Trek. Now I can stop trying to avoid spoilers. And try to remember all the things I put off to read until "after I'd seen it"

    I blame witches
    So I got my head shaved today. Well not all of it, just the scalp. I'd take a picture but I seem to have lost my webcam. And this keyboard doesn't have a 'Print Screen' button. And I don't have any of my old image editing software.

    I blame witches.

    HEROS
    So I picked up Heroes Season One shortly after my birthday. I'd never gotten around to seeing it when it was being broadcast, and people had recommended it to me enough that I decided to give it a go. There is however, one thing that people forgot to mention to me when recommending it to me.

    IT'S A FUCKING SOAP OPERA!

    There is no resolution to anything that is happening, it's complication after complication and foreshadowing without pay off. It's fucking Lost with supernatural powers. At least Lost had the characters actually be together so the show didn't have to keep jumping around. If I had seen this when it was broadcast I would have bailed after three damn episodes, but now I've gone and spent money on the damn thing. I made it half way through before I quit, I don't have that much free time that I've going to spend it on this.

    It's not even that it's bad. HEX was a bad show and I'd watch it again, even the ridiculous second season. But this? Ugh, what the hell is wrong with you people that you'd recommend I bloody watch it?

    Joy
    I walk faster than most people. That isn’t bragging, just fact. I tend to get impatient at slow walking and rather enjoy rushing (that’s another post) so I’m rather practiced when it comes to over-taking people on foot. During my walkings through crowded spaces I’ve developed a few rules about how to go about it.

    The core of these rules are the three types of people I always give way to, people I will go out of my way to make sure my rushing doesn’t impede. The first of these are simple and something most people would share: The mobility impaired. Someone in a wheelchair, walking along on crutches, a walking stick, are all mobility impaired and it is easier for me to get out of their way then it is to get out of mine. That guy I pass some mornings with the fake foot who walks almost as fast as me? He doesn’t count.

    The second one will divide some of you: children. I always give way to children, children act like children, rarely walking in a straight line, playing and frequently getting underfoot. Thing is, that’s how children are supposed to act. We were all children once and many will (if not already) have children of their own. Even I’m not grinch enough to do anything to hinder children being children.

    The third one is perhaps the oddest. I get out of the way of happy couples. If I see a couple walking along holding hands, clearly enjoying the company of the other, I will walk five meters out of my way to avoid disturbing them. They’re happy, they’re together, good on them.

    The third rule brings me to the point of this post. Every evening when I get off my train on the way home and start to weave my way through the crowd of bogans people I always encounter several regulars. One lot is a couple who would always be walking along holding hands. Every day I would overtake them at the same point and every day they would be chatting away, smiling at each other, or just walking in silence holding hands.

    Last week I got off my station and was shocked to discover that they weren’t holding hands at all. The male of the couple had his hands out of his pockets and seemed ready, but the female of the couple had her hands buried deep in pockets, shoulders hunched over in tension that seemed clear from my perspective. It seemed odd, odd enough that I delayed my overtaking of them for several seconds. As I was waiting, I noticed a second woman on the right of the main female, who learnt forward and began to chat with the man in an animated manner.

    The original woman, in the middle, remained silent and while it may have just been my imagination, I thought I detected her shoulder hunch more.

    In the days after that evening I’ve seen the couple together several times, yet never since have they been holding hands, as they once were. A little bit of joy has left the world and while I don’t know these people, it makes me sad. I hope that can recapture it.

    Things itches needs to do
    • Call Bank (You don't need to know why Mr Internet Stalker Sir)
    • Clean home (I'm slowly getting there. Honestly if I were to go at it for an hour or so it would be mostly clean, but I'm lazy)
    • Get tattoo (need tattoo)
    • Arrange Changeling game (need Changeling)
    • Win lotto (need lotto)

    • Remember not to eat (Food makes you fat!)
    • Remember to eat (Food keeps you alive!)

    An Interesting LJ Post
    I posted last night that I was feeling ill, ill enough that I ended up going to bed at about 20:30. When I woke up for work at 4:30 I was pretty dead. My neck hurt, I was full of mucus, it felt like I was running a fever. All terrible stuff that made me wonder if I could get through the day.

    Turns out I could. A hot shower, some panadol, breakfast and actually being warm got me to the stage where I actually felt mostly alive. Sick, but alive. With some luck that is the worst of it over with.

    Gah
    I think I'm getting sick again. I was only just starting getting over the tail edge of my previous sickness. Do not want. If my impending fever can atleast hold off until the weekend, that would be good. Thanks.

    Back to work tomorrow
    Just had a four day weekend thanks to taking some time off. It was awesome, I didn't get anywhere nearly as much done as I wanted, but I did manage to both not get enough sleep and get way too much. I picked up a new MP3 player, I did some cleaning, I started drinking again, I spent Sunday with family and I picked up some new books.

    And back to work tomorrow. Still it was nice having a few days to clear my head and distress.

    Kotor
    I haven't played Kotor since before I picked up my 360, so it has been over a year. In that time I havn't had a lot of hours to sink into playing games like I did before. Sure I've played my way through Saints Row 2, but even with that game I had to ban myself from playing it on most school nights and even then keep a close eye on the clock so as I don't spend 12 hours at a time on it.

    But Kotor. No game other then the Halo series have I played more, and Halo had the distinct advantage of being the only game I had at the time. When If I finally break and start to write fanfiction, it will be about Kotor. I have forced other people to play this game, purchased copies of it so that they would play.

    I want to, but I hesitate. Why? Taris In order to play Kotor, in order to get to the really good parts, I'll need to grind my way through Taris first. A slow, tedious, lightsabre free grind. Plus for all that I do like Carth, he does whine a lot.

    Maybe I should just play Mass Effect again.

    Truth in Television
    A commercial just informed me "There is nothing worse then being stuck with the wrong socket set." I did not know that this was worse than everything else, including but not limited to:

    1. Castration
    2. Being set on fire
    3. Castration by being set on fire

    I feel I am a better person for knowing this.

    In the
    In the twelve months I've been working at my current job, I've taken two days off work sick. The first day was when I got out of bed and stepped on my glasses. The second day was today, because I was pretty much fucked. I'm getting better, I just needed a day without moving heavy boxes and pushing a rusted trolley around. I also needed a doctor's certificate, which is the first time I've ever had to go get one. Turns out, this is a pretty simple piece of paper. It would be so easy for me to forge one.

    ... Not that I would. I'm genuinly sick. *cough*
