I didn’t think that I was going to squeeze a pumpkin carving into my festivities this Halloween, but thanks to a timely FHE activity, I got one carved just in the nick of time. I tried lighting it up, but the pumpkin is really really thick. I need to work the walls down a little bit before the effect really works. So, in all, I managed to work in The Haunting, Chicken Shish Tawook, Count Chocula, a Cider Mill (and the resulting cider!), coloring, Catching Fire, Dominion: Seaside, refusing to dance, blue hairspray, “For All the Saints”, The Lord of all Catan, pork roast, butterfinger brownies, and pumpkin carving into my birthday weekend. That’s pretty good, right? What did you do?
Please help me out. I’m building a personal address book, all in one place. I’m not sure how this will look on the RSS Feed, so if you don’t see a form here, please link back over to my site. Thanks! I’m on my third day of a Facebook game related detox. The rules are simple. No Facebook games. I’ve only been playing three anyway, but they are all three of the click and hope variety. They are significantly less click happy than, say, Mafia Wars, and they do involve some sorts of decision making, but really, it’s just clicking and hoping. What kind of game play is that anyway? I got to a point in all three where I had accomplished what I wanted. (As if it can really be called an accomplishment… It’s just an accumulation of clicks over time.) And so I felt like I could let go. The first day was a breeze, the second a little challenging, but today is not going so great. I apparently need those little dopamine squirts that come when I click my little rat brain buttons. I’ve also never had Facebook game-related nightmares until last night (although I think that might have been significantly influenced by a pair of Doctor Who episodes that I watched earlier in the evening with a similar character.) In other news, I found a downloadable version of Race for the Galaxy, a board game I have recently been playing in real life. I’m using it to try to improve my understanding of how the game works, and it involves very complex decision making, so that’s good, right? I don’t get as much dopamine but I am improving actual skills (for example, evaluating trade offs, developing and deploying strategy, attempting to learn what Also, my kitchen is approaching a clean state. Amazing what a little less MouseHunt can do for you. Anyone else have any experience with electronic detox? Do you know how long I have until the shakes start in? I found this video while I was deep down a blog link blackhole. I’m glad I did. It’s pretty awesome. |
