Staycation.
FYI, I’m off all week. Which is, to be honest, kind of weird.
I haven’t taken more than a day or two off in a row in… well… YEARS. Anywho, The Hickman is starting to crack down and force his minions to stay away from the office and relax a bit.
I spent my first two days doing chores, but now I’m MOSTLY done and I still have three whole days to kill. Current plan:
– Watch all of my favorite movies repeatedly. Which basically means “watching Patton over and over again while wearing the helmet Paul gave me from Patton’s army.” Did I mention that Patton is available on Blu-Ray? Because it totally IS.
– Read. My “to read” pile includes a bunch of Mark Twain and George Orwell essays, Sarah Vowell’s new book and a nice chunk of the old Ostrander run of The Spectre that I picked up on the cheap at a local funnybook shop a while back.
– Jog. Or walk briskly. Or something. The last few years have been – for lack of a better term – ri-goddamn-diculously brutal on my overall health. I’ve never been skinny, but before we started WAR I could at least do a few chin-ups. I recognize that it’s my fault for letting work trump fitness, but I figure this is as good a time as any to get back on that particular horse (also, I’d rather not look like a land-whale at my wedding next spring).
– Play games that have nothing to do with MMOs. Lego Batman and Dead Space, I’m looking at YOU.
So… yeah. Don’t expect anything useful from me for at least a week.
P.S. Out launch party is this Thursday, so I may have some pictures from that shortly.
You should play Megaman 9!
Enjoy your time off and when you get back to the office, prod Mr. Jacobs. Been waiting for some more stories and thoughts on his blog but haven’t seen a post in weeks.
