So, I haven't really been writing and I haven't been blogging for a bit. Why, you ask? To put it simply, I've been too busy playing video games and listening to audiobooks. But, enough of that! Now that I have emerged from yet another phase of playing too much Oblivion, I can go back to what I once was.
Now, seriously, I've only spent the last two days playing Oblivion, but somehow it seems like forever. Video games are generally weekend-only hobbies and maybe only twice a month at that. What's really been eating up my time is knitting and listening to Dune on Audible.com. I don't know why I must always go for epic books (eg Lord of the Rings) but I figured "21 hours guaranteed knitting time". I have been knitting and listening to audio books and podcasts every day since Ash Wednesday, and it seems that this book is never going to end. I'm really enjoying the experience, though. I often think to myself while at work, "what was that sci-fi movie I was watching last night? Oh, I was listening to Dune".
Today's excuse for not writing is that the landlady is blasting the heat again and I can't think straight. I'm currently sitting in front of an open window with a gusty wind blowing on my back and will probably come down with a cold this week. That's just a guess. I've written four chapters of Education of Gareth, mapped out a basic sketch of how the rest of the story is going to go, and have absolutely no desire to write any of it. I have a Writer's Meeting in one hour and honestly all I want to do is play Dune! It's a shame, a real shame. I think my current addiction has everything to do with the fact that I don't have cable and there's nothing to watch on TV. Oh well, might as well get an hour in there while I can...
