progI just fired off four business emails, in all directions: lawyer, accountant, designer, and my fellow hackers. I am feeling run-down and everyone else is taking the day off, so this makes me feel like I've done my bit for today. Now I'm going to hit the mall for video-game goodies. There is one title in particular that I have my sights on, because it boasts several novel game mechanics, many Internet-related, that I want to investigate.
It's kind of weird: Since I'm buying fun games, any attempt to justify the purchase by framing it within Volity feels like lame rationalization, and my internalized memetic mother looks on doubtfully: Eh, haven't you been playing enough games? Don't you have work to do? But in reality I really do need to see how these work. Whether or not I choose to entirely believe it, the fact remains that I am now professionally involved in the creation and promotion of electronic games, and it does in fact behoove me to stay current with the rest of that world.
Why am I so unwilling to accept that this is the nature of my job now? If I can't believe it is so, then that's surely going to put a crimp on my willingness to succeed at it, no? Fooey.
Also I am out of shaving cream so I will have to go walking around in a fuzzy proto-beard for now. I do not like doing this even though I think I can pull off the look OK because I have a narrow face. But it really just seems to be an advertisement of my own laziness, other than that.
