Lazy Sunday
Today is my Sunday for this week, as I had to come into work on my real Sunday. A big part of my job involves verifying stuff in machines, and we don’t have very many of these machines, so the weekend is a good time to find free time on them. Late evening slots also free up a lot, so I’ve been working late as well. I think better later in the day anyway, but I don’t like cutting my evenings with Kelvin short. Though, the majority of our evenings lately seem to be Team Fortress 2.
So, what am I going to do today? I have a free weekday without Kelvin around, a first since I started working again. The difference now is that I can feel good about slacking off and doing nothing, whereas before I always felt guilty not being productive, regardless of what Kelvin would tell me. I think I’m going to:
1. Blog – Oh gosh, I’m doing that already!
2. Make bread – I was making bread every week, and I haven’t made bread ever since I started working.
3. Read everything in my Google Reader until it’s got 0 unread – I’m amazed at how disciplined I’ve been about not reading my feeds at work. I still do it, but in short bursts and not as often.
Speaking of news I’ve been missing, did you know they announced details for Dragon Age II? I’m not sure how I feel about this Shepherd-like approach they’re taking with the character, but still… March 2011 can’t come any sooner!
4. Figure out which headset to buy – A couple days ago, Kelvin’s headset’s right earphone stopped working, so he’s been using speakers with his headset mic around his neck. Last night, my mic stopped working at certain angles (i.e. next to my mouth). And when it does work, the gain is insane, so I have to turn my mic volume all the way and put it next to my eyeball. That’s what we get for buying <$20 headsets. Sucks tho, I really liked my cheapo comfy-and-functional headset. So, with my new paycheck, I think I’m going to splurge on some gamer headsets that should hopefully last longer than a year. Any recommendations would be appreciated!
5. Laundry – Why not? it’s so easy!
6. Play games – I spent most of my Saturday playing Heavy Rain, and I’m almost done with it. It’s getting a little scary, so I’ll wait for Kelvin to come home to play that. In the meantime, I think I’ll get back to doing missions in Mass Effect 2.
7. Watch Old Spice Youtube videos – Did you know the Man Your Man Could Smell Like responds to Youtube, Facebook, and twitter comments now? Is this his fulltime job now? Hawt!
New thing I learned today: Carcharias is a genus of sharks.
Outside of the SC2 headset, Razer audio products seem to be named after water-dwelling predators.
