Current weight: 204 lbs.
So I'm playing thought Fallout [the original- it's a combo pack with that, Fallout 2, and Brotherhood of Steel.] I was using a walk-through to beat the game quickly but I'm having so much fun with it I'm debating going back & starting over, I know where the key objectives are now but I just want to do all the side stuff.
I think this is why I loved but never completed Morrowind; I enjoy the world & people more than the overall quest. Or maybe it's that I wanted to immerse myself as much as possible to strive for a sense of resonance with the NPC's. Sure they wanted me to kill Dagoth Ur, but maybe he's a nice guy? Huh. Turns out he's not so nice. He sent vampires & brainwashed slaves to kill me. I understand the plight of these people a little clearer now.
Have I mentioned I own one of those Bender Balls? They're just miniature balance balls you see at the gym. The ones with people just trying to lay backwards on them but they end up pile driving themselves into the ground? I've been using it to get in better shape for my wedding. The first week and a half I had a problem with it though & it's the same problem I have with most exercise tools like that that aren't free weights or running. It felt good but it didn't make me look good. I look at myself now & sure I can see the improvements, my stomach is closer to me & not rolling out from my pants but that notion I had originally bothers me. Why do I feel so entitled to see immediate results? I think I watched too much G.I. Joe as a kid, internet. So aside from decidedly *not* looking like Sgt. Slaughter I am enjoying the little ball. [Secret note to Sgt. Slaughter: I always picked you over Duke, that guy was a chump!]
And there will be a poetry
spoken silently between me and the stereo
-Against Me!
