It's gonna be a busy, busy day.
Good Morning! It is the start of Wednesday before Thanksgiving and there is a ton on
the schedule for me today. I've got, obviously, the cooking I have to do. I've got to go to
the grocery store again because I think I'm going to need even more stuff in order to
make my food. I've got to go get a haircut. I've got to get today's video uploaded.
Last night, late last night I got an email stating Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth is
being released today. I am such a huge nerd for the old Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri.
That was a game I literally played pretty much every day between 16 and 20. Even when I was
in college even though it was a super old game at that point I played that game, like,
every day. So I'm hoping that this is very similar and it does look like it should be.
So I'm hoping that that comes down so I'm trying to time it since I have such a crappy
internet connection here so that the video is all edited, I can go over to the senior
center, upload today's video and download all the files. 'Cause it's supposedly 2.5-4
gigs depending upon all the expansion packs. I pre-ordered, I should be getting everything.
It's gonna be super busy in that respect. I'm just trying to line up all the things
that I have to do in addition to the work project. That is in it's final throws of finishing.
I'm pushing really, really hard to get that all finished. My internal goal always was
December 1st. Doesn't look like that's gonna happen but that doesn't mean it's gonna be late.
My agreement was to have it in by the end of our work year, so December 30th.
I think can still hit it if not the first within that first week of December is really the
goal. Especially since I'm going out to California I really would like to go out there and not
have to think about that any longer. That's kind of where my head's at for today. It's
gonna be like super busy and yeah I'm excited to say the least. Let's get it going.
Thank you! Appreciate it!
Since today has been a slow start and -- slow start at work and on top of that I
woke up like an hour and a half earlier than I normally do -- just kinda woke up at 5:30, it sucks.
I decided to take a little step aside from work since I've been working since
early, early and go get a haircut 'cuz if I'm gonna do it especially before I go back
to Colorado now is the time. Two weeks will be enough of that to grow back in and not
leave me completely bare.
And so now the long download begins. Let's hope this really doesn't take an hour and a half.
It is super dark outside. It's been dark for like 3 hours. I've been
so busy all day long. Running around doing things, getting everything all ready so that
I can enjoy the next 48 hours. This is one of those things where I am debating on what to
do tonight in order to give something entertaining, something interesting. Not sure what I'm gonna
do, obviously I've got to cook which is something that y'all saw yesterday so I'm not entirely
sure if there's something that I want to do afterward because obviously that's not gonna
take all night. Right now though after just coming back from the grocery store which was
absolutely a mad house, all I want to do is sit on the couch and hang out for a few minutes
and just kind of chill out and relax. People are just obviously distracted even on the road.
I saw not one, but two guys, run stop signs. It's just insane. Like, what are you doing?
How does that happen? Yeah, I'm just going to sit on the couch for a little bit
and figure out how I want to tackle the rest of tonight. So yes, about 10 hours after I
initially got everything -- got my haircut all done I finally got a chance to jump in
the shower and wash out all the extra shards and everything else. Now that I've figure
out what my schedule is -- So tonight, what I'm going to do is I'm going to actually do all the
prep work. All the cutting and everything else, grating of the cheese all that stuff.
I'm gonna finish that tonight but I'm not actually going to cook until tomorrow morning
first thing. But as a result it is now time for me to sit down and have a first look at
Sid Meier's Civilization Beyond Earth. Needless to say I am super excited for this game.
I really hope -- I really hope that it is as good as I hope -- I remember Alpha Centauri
being and I hope that this game is because it would be a huge time suck and awesome for
me at the same time. I want do these 4X games again especially like this. Well, I guess
you can say that, yeah, Civ Beyond Earth is as addictive as Alpha Centauri was. I meant
to sit down and open up a game and see how it was going to go -- the play mechanics of it.
Maybe an hour, hour or so and ended up sitting here for about three hours.
So that's pretty crazy in my mind that someone who doesn't play video games but gets that
engulfed in like "hey okay I see the next three or four things that I need to do and
I'm gonna try that. If it works great, if it doesn't okay." At this point I'm gonna
do the prep work for tomorrow. So I'm gonna slice and grate and all that stuff and then
I am going to actually head to bed. Hopefully tomorrow's going to be a fun episode because
it's Thanksgiving here in America and I'll have the opportunity to hang out with a bunch
of my friends so that's cool as well. You may see bits and pieces of me cooking as well in the morning.
So, hopefully everything else goes correct and yeah... I'm not thinking I'm going to
vlog any more today. So hopefully a short episode everything sad and done and yeah allows
you all to spend more time with your family and friends.
So bye for now!
