Nov. 23rd, 2022 03:30 pmUgh, so I forgot about this place pretty quickly! Actually, I just checked my last (first!) post and it hasn't been nowhere near as long as I thought. Huh, maybe I can do this blog stuff!
I'm off this week - well, the weekdays that is - I'll be working the weekend. 5 days off in a row is nice, I'm only halfway through!
I've been spending my days off vegging out on the laptop and doing housework - one of those is certainly more fun than the other.
There was a sale on GOG (kinda like Steam) and I picked up Arx Fatalis, Morrowind and Oblivion real cheap. It's funny really, I spent all the money to get a gaming laptop this year and the first games I go for are old ones! I didn't see the point in getting Skyrim, I already have that for the PS5. It's been years since I've played the other games, I've started with Oblivion - I'm surprised about how much of the game I actually remember and even more surprised that I can still come across new locations or quests that I know I've never done before.
Actually, gaming isn't how I started my days off. It started with me watching House of the Dragon. I'd read Fire and Blood the previous week so with that so fresh in my mind I'm very aware of the book/tv differences. That being said, I love both. It's got me hyped up in a fandom kinda way. I really want to get the GoT books out and read them now. I'd read the first book years ago but ended up getting distracted by other things and never continued in the series. I just never seem to have enough time in the day to do all the things I want - worse, sometimes when I do have the time, I just spend it scrolling through social media or watching video recommendations on YouTube. It feels like I've wasted a whole day off if that's all I've done because I could have read, watched or played something.
Ah, I just received a text about my old iPhone 7 that I sent off to a phone recycling company. I knew I wasn't going to get much for it, but at the end of the day anything was better than nothing for something I don't use anymore. If only my old iPad wasn't so worthless - I swear it was something like 6£ for my old iPad! That's not even worth the effort it would be to send it!
I think I'm meant to get paid for the phone within 24hrs. Tomorrow is payday too - so it should all tie in nicely and I can finally make a start on Christmas shopping. Honestly, I just want it out of the way. I'm not really a fan of Christmas, I much prefer Halloween. Perhaps if I'd had kids then maybe Christmas would still hold some magic for me - but the reality is that it's expensive and just a lot of hassle for one day.
Right, that's it from me.
I'm going to play Oblivion until my other half gets home - then we'll be cooking dinner and watching Vikings.
Ahh, such an exciting life!
