How Does “It” Feel?
This is the third time I sit down and write this post. I should probably know better than to write it directly into the browser window, especially with Opera’s Mouse Gestures enabled, and especially while multitasking. Long story short, a month goes by, and no post. Unless notepad decides to randomly crap out on me, that is.
This last month has been murder, basically. After paying for last year’s taxes, this year’s vacation prospects were looking rather dim. Until I got a call from a friend saying that he needed some translations, and that they were both urgent, and in one of my areas of expertise. I asked for 20% more than they were offering, and he was so quick to accept it that it makes me think I should’ve asked for even more money. In any case, it’s not, by any means, a hard assignment, but the fact that there are strict timetables to adhere to is killing me. I’ve had no problems with a 6-hour sleep schedule in the past, hell, being in a raiding guild in World of Warcraft pretty much amounts to that two or three nights a week, and even though it feels like work, and many say it’s the same as work, once I started having actual 18-hour workdays I can tell you, quoting Sammy L. in Pulp Fiction, “Ain’t the same fuckin’ ballpark, it ain’t the same league, it ain’t even the same fuckin’ sport.” When Edipa was here she actually refered to me as a “workaholic”, which I thought was something I had left behind, but yesterday, as I lay in bed wishing that it was already August so that I could get home earlier and get in more translation hours, I realized she was right. Working at work, working at home, and then unwinding by playing a game that feels like work can’t be healthy. At least I’m staying away from coffee and junk food, and extraneous work-like activities.
On other news, Superman Returns? Seen.
Sucks?
Depends.
I’ll wait until this weekend so everyone can watch it, and then we can have a spoiler-tastic discussion. My short review is that it’s decent, but not good, and certainly not great. It has some brilliant moments, but ultimately collapses under the weight of its own aimlesness. Is it a romance movie? Is it a super-hero movie? Is it a disaster movie?
It should’ve been a Superman movie, and sadly, it’s very short on Superman moments.
But we can talk about that later…
PS: Joe Satriani tickets OMG LOL!
