Weekend Entries
I seem to mostly write weblog posts on my weekends off - which are every three weeks. Not really a conscious decision, I just have more free time then. Mostly I tend to work, sleep, and laze around or play games.
Been talking a little about music with people on #lj_***** (on Lazynet), we seem to be mostly in agreement about music sucking or not. Personally, a lot of my favorite bands are from the 70’s, hardly anything from the 80’s was good except for earlier metal and punk, there was a hell of a lot of great music in the early 90’s that tapered off, and most of the last 5-10 years has been mediocre, with some good stuff (it’s not all bad). Maybe things will start to get better again in another 4 or 5 years.
Yet again, the current holiday falls on my long weekend. So I had Wednesday off, worked Thursday, and then Friday-Monday off, going back to work Tuesday night. A nice little break from things. Work’s been a little weird, with our Assistant Manager quitting, and actually getting 2 or 3 new people hired so far. Him quitting was quite unexpected, and we haven’t heard anything about why he did, and I’m not going to speculate. It could be anything at all. Coming up on two years working nights at Wal-Mart, in July. It sure doesn’t seem that long at all.
And finally, I’ve been playing EverQuest this week. Yes, the game has been out for like 5 years already, with something like 8 expansion packs. But, I picked up EverQuest: Evolution, which has the original game plus the first 5 expansions - for just $30 CAD. Not a bad price. I was going to buy Star Wars Galaxies, but EB didn’t have any left. Just as well, since my computer probably isn’t fast enough for that. It has enough problems with EverQuest. So I’ve been playing that for most of the time I’ve had off work this week. It’s fun so far, just trying out different character types and messing around. I think I’m going to start playing a Half Elf Ranger, though. I’m almost at the level where I can start using spells, and can do somewhat well solo. I wish I knew more people that played though, it’s more fun to play with friends than random strangers.
