WoW, Lull

I’ve been plugging away at World of Warcraft this week. My human warrior character is up to Level 9 (out of 60 possible) I have never played this type of game and I am still undecided on my feeling about it. The game is incredibly complex, incredibly large and requires incredible amounts of time if you want to progess through it. Some aspects of it are a bit slow and boring for me. I’m doing a lot of repetitive killing right now and I didn’t enjoy having to walk 5 minutes to get back to my corpse and revive after I was killed by animals one time and a kobald miner another. However the interaction with literally thousands of players opens up a near infinite number of possibilities so I think that is the draw. I’ll keep plugging away and see if I drift closer or further away from it. The time requirements really can whack things out of balance, something I try pretty hard to maintain.

I just got finished watching some of Spiderman 2 on my Gameboy SP. My own personal, dvd viewer, NES and GBA game system. I almost want to go on some sort of trip where I can whip out my little pocket sized piece of entertainment power. Technology rocks.

I’m feeling a bit down. One of those periods that will pass but makes me feel negative about most things while I am in the middle of it. Perhaps it is a post holiday letdown, something I normally go through. All of the Xmas interior decorations are still up (will come down this weekend), including the tree. It’s just sitting there with nothing under it but the derailed train, just waiting to be stripped and tossed in the ditch. I hardly look at it now, knowing it will soon be disposed of like a piece of trash. I stopped watering it last week. It’s a strange feeling, coldly disposing of something that was chosen carefully, delicately decorated and then cherished till Christmas day. Now it has transformed into an eyesore. Somewhere in there, are some parallels with life that I’d rather not think about. It is depressing some how.
