Tuesday, March 08, 2005 The Pitch: It's like Rain Man meets Forrest Gump! It's been two weeks since I've played any video games. Tomorrow. Two weeks tomorrow. And by "video games," I mean actual video games--not popcap crap like Word Mojo, which I've played a few times. And by "a few times," I mean every other day. Two weeks. Give or take.As you can see, I'm taking it well--almost barely obsessive at all--and it's freed me to do lots of things in that two weeks. Like help people move. And work. Yes, blessed and free are those without video games... I re-read my own post where I posited not playing video games until after Edi and I got hitched. I made a horrible noise when I read this, as if someone had sent me a ransom note with a terrified picture of someone I dearly love wearing underwear on their head and being threatened with a gun. Thank God for Word Mojo, otherwise I might have crapped myself. I still can't believe I wrote such a thing. What was I thinking? Would Edi and I have had time to watch Spaced and The Singing Detective during those two weeks if I hadn't? And yes, if I can just work out my writing set-up, maybe I'll fill all those non-moving, non-working free moments with actual writing, which I miss so much I can't even begin to tell you...even more, arguably, than video games. But I'll be at the apartment alone tomorrow, and I'm worried. I wonder if Edi would consent to driving around with all my PS2 games in the trunk of her car? posted by Jeff Lester | 6:25 PM | |
