"The Paddle"

Well it's been quite a week. Actually not that much has happened, except that I spent all weekend painting the condo I will soon be living in. The date of which seems uncertain at the moment but I will be moving in there soon. I'm still sore from all that damned paining. Stupid old body. Stupid, old 26 year old body.

I've been trying to form a new opinion of Sundays lately. I do work on Sundays, which is perfectly fine for me because there's no traffic either going to or coming home from work allowing the coveted sub-hour commute time. On the other hand the good talk shows normally on during the week are not on in the morning and for some reason all the music stations I would ever think to listen to play nothing but 80's crap. I mean three different stations playing 80's crap? Damn it. I just need to buy some music CDs or something. It sucks. Still if that's the thing you have to complaing the most about you must not be doing too badly, right?

In other news I found something I thought had mysteriously disapeared forever: the Atari 7800 I purchased years ago along with some games. I didn't know about about it all at the time of course and as it turns out some of the games are merely 2600 and 5200 games. None very rare but at least I know fully what I have now.

I actually think this is good news because the 7800 is backwards compatible with the 2600 so I have a way to play all those 2600 games should I decide to do something unwholesome to my couple of 2600 systems, rendering them inoperable. Not that I really need to play the 2600 games a lot with all those ROMs and all but if I need to ebay off some duplicates it may come in handy.

In work I had to learn a seemings extra books worth on Thursday. I wasn't even feeling confident I got the stuff from the four weeks of training all down and now I'm learning a large amount of new stuff in a short period of time (a day). So I'm a bit nervous about that but I suppose I will learn it eventually.

Last week I also pre-ordered the newest star wars game, battle front. Of course as soon as I did amazon dropped the price and I still have yet to see it since I opted for the free shipping. In fact the game just shipped out to me on Thursday. So I could recieve it tomorrow or Tuesday. Finding time to play it especially with my computer hooked up to a TV everybody's watching may be a challenge.

That's it for now. So exciting, I know.
