Well, given my separation and pending divorce, and changing jobs, I feel it's time to get my mid-life crisis moving. As such, I decided to buy a video game. I haven't bought a PC game in well over a decade. So I started with Star Wars Battlefront II. WOW!
This has DEFINITELY been a good way to kick-start my mid-life crisis. I stayed up EXTRA LATE this morning :) playing. It is so much fun. There are so many options, so many scenarios, so many environments. The game play is remarkably simple considering all of the complexities and options.
I think this is partly due to my new computer. I bought a new personal laptop and I love it. Duo Core 2GHz, 2 Gb RAM (yeah, 2!), 256 Mb Video Card, 15.4” Wide Screen butt-kickin' monitor. Game play is crisp, clean, and smooth. I do wait on the disk sometimes but in general, it is smokin' fast.
When I combine my short-timer's attitude with the onset of mid-life crisis, I see little productivity over the next four weeks or so. I hope none of you are expecting much from me! :)
