pasitheaBlah,
I totally wasted yet another weekend. I'm so lazy. :( Saturday went well enough, I suppose. I cleaned the kitchen, went shopping, and made a huge dinner, but a fatal flaw had already been made. On Friday night, Stacey and I went to Frys and she picked up a game called, 'Harvest Moon' and said, 'I think you'd like this game, should I buy it?'. In the future, this question should get the same treatement as the 'Are you Gods?' question in GhostBusters, except the answer should be a resounding NO. I feel really really stupid having wasted two almost entirely free days playing/watching a video game.
That's right. Sunday I didn't even play the game, I just watched Stacey play it. I didn't sketch, I didn't paint, I didn't read, or anything useful, I just sat slack-jawed in front o the TV and watched her play a video game. The only thing I got done was starting the seeds for my garden and building a makeshift coldframe to put them in so that the eggplants would sprout.
Monday, it turned out, was a work holiday so I came home and began working in the yard. Sawed up all the fallen branches from the storms a couple months ago, then I turned the soil where I'm planning to put one of the larger sections of my garden. The ground seems good and rich with a lot of drainage. I think things will grow really well if it isn't too acidic.
I also set some beans to soak and later made beans and rice for dinner, but all in all only about 2 or 3 hours of work. Then (since Stacey wasn't playing) I started playign the game... And played and played and played. :/ I probably spent 12 hours playing a stupid vieo game. I could have got a LOT of work doen and got caught up on some projects. Bad enough I wasted one day, but two? *sigh* This is why I try to avoid games.
Anyhow... It's a cute game. The premise is that you're trying to save your late grandfather's farm (and the little town) from being developed next year. So... It's a game about planting things, watering things, growing things, and cooking things. ... This sounds familiar somehow... There's no combat or 'action'. You might imagine it as the game about the other characters in a Final Fantasy game... During the off season. You're the kid the hero talks to who has starry visions of having your own horse and saving your little town. Anyhow, it struck me as kind of funny that I had just done those things and then was playing a game about it. Maybe I'm just weird. :/ *sigh* But your character in the story would never waste his day playing video games. I'm rather ashamed I did. :/ Guess I'll have to work harder the rest o the week.
Anyhow, speaking of work, I have plenty to do at work and I should get back to it.
