[Previous: "Guilt-free Thanksgiving"] [Back to blog] [Next: "Boo-yeah"]
Today was one of those (many) days I just didn't have the energy to do anything, despite getting enough sleep. It's purely mental. I just don't have any motivation. I don't want to work, I don't want to do any housework -- it seems the more that needs to be done, the less my motivation for doing it -- but my attention span is too short to watch a movie.
So, true to form, I chalked the day up to a do-nothing, mental-health day and played games instead. (I've had lots of those lately. I wonder when I'll be out of this rut.)
I decided to waste some money at Rocky's Replay, since I hadn't been there in a long time. I guess there's an old saying that time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time. That should be my motto.
The first thing I did was hit the hoop shot machine, because I'm pretty good at that for some reason. I shot my best score yet -- 60 points. Also played San Francisco Rush 2049 and a couple of other old favorites. I always have to give DDR a try, even though I'm horrible at it. I like it, yet I'm terrible at it, because I'm such a clutz. Naturally, some young punk who played it on the most difficult levels sat on a barstool next to me and watched me embarrass myself by fumbling around and scoring a C on the beginner level. I'm lucky I didn't fall (again)!
One thing that struck me, though, was the lack of completely new, innovative games. It just seems like nearly every game out there is a sequel to or a variation on a previously popular game. Don't get me wrong, I love Soul Caliber 2, but it's just like its predecessor. More weird games from Japan, please! They did have a racing game I hadn't seen before called Initial D, but there was a horde of boys crowded around the four linked machines, and I didn't want to butt in. I can't say how new of a game it is because I'm so out of touch with games these days. Signage and all of the instructions were in Japanese, though, so that was cool.
And now, back to reality. Time to look like I got something productive done before the BF gets home.
