This time I truly have no idea what I could write about to fill out an entire blog entry. It was sunny today so I went for my five mile thing. I hesitate to say it’s getting easier but I’m not sure it’s really take as much out of me as it once did.
I came home and took a shower and then started doing some additional back ups of Steam. I still haven’t copied these back ups to my WHS or to DL DVDs as I had planned. Although on some level I wonder if buying lots of 16 gig thumb drives would effectively accomplish the same thing without the annoyance of optical media. But then optical media is still king when it comes to cost-per-gig. Although I think that seperation is continuing to shrink with each passing year.
At one point there was talk of picking up the key for my new place but that was passed over at some point because my future land-lady is recovering from some kind of medical treatment. As soon as I do have this key though I’ll be able to start moving over some of my bins.
Speaking of which it really feels like I have made a lot of progress in organizing all my stuff. For instance I have one bin full of shoes. It’s not like I’m a shoe horder or something. I actually only wear the one pair regularly, for everything from around town to jogging. Then a second pair I only use on interviews. So how ended up with such a large collection of shoes I have no idea. They all seem unworn as well. Most of them. Maybe I should donate some of them, I don’ t know. They all fit in the one bin right now anyway so it wouldn’t make that much of a difference I don’t think.
I also now have a box of game consoles. Non-Atari game consoles that includes two SNES’s (that in all likelihood don’t work), a DreamCast, also probably doesn’t work and a Nintendo64 which does work. I should probably throw out the DreamCast and atleast one of the SNES systems. I also have a collection of SENS game pads, one of those adapters that allows you to hookup lots of game pads and a copy of Bomberman 2. Still have yet to play it either single or muli-player.
I also have a bin reserved for the two Atari 2600 consoles. I do actually have a large collection of 2600 games some place. Actually another system as well. I always forget which one. I think it’s the worst of the three: the 5400 (out of the 2600, the 5400 and the 7800, if I’m remembering my Atari model numbers correctly). I think I’d prefer the 7600 actually. It has backwards compatibility with the 2600 ya see. The 5400 isn’t compatible with the 2600 nor is the 7800 backwards with the 5400. And it’s a horribly designed system with few games to begin with never mind GOOD games.
I think I’ve strayed off course here. Bins: I believe I have stuff organized in them. Ready to be transferred to the new place. Well this was a rather boring entry but at least I made an entry. I think I’m going to watch an episode of Caprica and go to bed now.
