I think sometimes LJ's give the illusion that you're following someone's life when it's actually that you're only following what they report about their life, which tells you more about what they see as notable rather than what they're actually doing that is notable.
In an attempt to avoid that, here's a list of what I've been doing over the past few weeks, without notability considerations.
- Failing to complete a freelance writing assignment on Tanzania on time, but at the same time finding the assignment oddly fun; I'd say it's nearing completion even though most of the actual "writing" is yet to be done.
- Failing to complete the release of the Immortal Defense level editor on time. It's mostly done, but should have been released much earlier.
- Getting re-addicted to the French MMORPG Dofus. One of my old guild members, Effus, is the only one I remember from the old days of Dofus. He's been guiding me through the new areas of the game that they added since I left. I've also been forging daggers in the game and trying to figure out the best way to make money doing so, its internal economy is really engrossing. I'm at least happy I'm only addicted to a relatively simple and benign MMO game instead of the much more life-controlling ones like WoW or Second Life.
- Internet/information addiction, mainly centered on viewing random Wikipedia pages and seeing where they lead, popurls.com, my LJ friends list, youtube.com, and news.google.com.
- Feeling "guilty", inasmuch as I am capable of guilt, for all of the above. This probably takes up at least as much time as each of the individual items above.
- Organizing my goals over the next 5 years, weeding out the less important ones, prioritizing. This is difficult, because there's so much I want to do and so little time to do it in.
That's really about it right now. Pretty boring.
