As I sit here in my office, digesting a magnificent burrito and sipping from a mug of tea, reading Pliny's account of the basic nature of the world while waiting for updates on a /tg/ quest thread, I can't help but notice that at some point my life took a turn for the awesome.
I feel the same way. I'm completely caught up in many of my shows, and then some (to the point having a DVR would be rather moot, or even redundant; even my Saturday nights are freed, comparing my progress to Toonami's schedule), I have no more commitments that demand me to an insane degree, no more bosses running me ragged (and no more getting soaked in tracked-in dirt traffic (carpet cleaning)), no more prep work for a massive event (being part of a wedding prep crew over the course of a couple months wears you out big time).
Basically, all I have to worry about is work I want to get myself involved in to fill in my time (and doing some quick math to make sure the jobs I pick up are worth my time, I can accomplish skillfully (and quickly enough), and pays well enough; or to help me negotiate more fairly; mutually speaking. My other 'wasted time' making all kinds of spreadsheets and such come pretty handy for stuff like that), and make a quick buck off of it in the process. With the rest of my time, I can relax, and veg-out for a bit; fragging Lovecraftian terrors, breaking a few games (via Cheat Engine dickery) and such, solving puzzles, taking a walk while the weather still permits it, and overall, just having fun keeping myself busy. In a sense, I feel like I regained control over my life again. That is a good feeling to have, again.
Provided enough stability with it, I feel like I can have the time again to play some DF, and try to run a fortress. No megaprojects; just making a fortress for the hell of it.
