Remember this?
Apr. 7th, 2006 01:47 pm<Steveo> I'M BORED
<Amaunet> come to gatty
<Steveo> BORED, not SUICIDAL
And the reason I remembered about that snapshot of student life (which would surely have become a bash.org classic if the moderators had any sense of humour) is because I'm having a completely new experience - I'm bored. The project is almost finished, the report is as far as it's going to go for now, the user guide has been written, and I've done as much to Treasure Tower as I can usefully do at the moment. All that remains is waiting to receive room submissions from other people, and seeing as we're all going to be dead from bird flu in about a week, I'd rather like to get the game finished as soon as possible.
I would start up Modplug and try and get back into music writing, but I seem to have lost all ability for that at the moment and with Modplug still down, it seems a little pointless when there's an entire album worth of material still unreleased. If anything, I'll have to find a replacement "voice" instrument, because I get the feeling that the one I'm using at the moment is making my music sound far too happy, especially now that I'm experimenting with writing in a major key.
I promised myself a day in bed yesterday, just to feel what not working for a day was like, but that didn't happen as I just picked at the report for about four hours again. I have been keeping myself vaguely amused with my 2.5GB retro directory - rediscovering Super ZZT in particular, which is a lot better than I remember despite there not being anything remotely Super about it compared to the original. But it does feel like I'm just trying to come up with more and more ingenious ways of wasting time.
