It’s become a more common phrase that I’ve found myself uttering. Someone will ask me to do something, and I’ll say “but I’m in the couch!” With my laptop on my lap, a blanket over my legs, and the remote control within reach, there are few reasons why I ever need to get up.
Monday at work was another weird one-day-work-week sort of day. I took my CDs out of my car and double-checked to make sure I had all of them encoded into MP3s. It turns out there were a few albums that I hadn’t encoded yet, and I ended up encoding about 10 or so CDs while I was working, bringing my collection up to 4595 songs (12.89GB or 9.9 days of continuous music). I still have to rate them with iTunes, though.
Getting my NES games out of storage stirred up an odd urge to play Zelda II, so I’ve been playing that off and on the last few days, just finished it now. For some reason, though, I couldn’t find it in the box of NES games, (along with a few others I know I own, like Super Mario Bros. and Final Fantasy. There were two games I owned, Guardian Legend and The Legacy of the Wizard, that I bought used when I was in college, and my brother lent out to a friend and never got back, but other than that, I don’t know where they could have gone. I would say they might still be in a box in my mom’s attic, but I’m pretty sure I got all of my boxes out of there a few years ago. But I’ve got the ROMs, and I did pay for them at one point, so I feel no guilt.
These last two weeks have been very disorienting. Between the off days at work, I have trouble telling what day of the week it is. It’s a good thing that Fox isn’t running new episodes of 24 during the holidays, otherwise I’d have missed both of them, because I thought they were Saturdays, not Tuesdays. I’m not as bad as bigdumbthing, though. His concept of “the weekend” is “that time when the other people are around more often.”
