I really don’t seem to be productive lately. I have things I need/want to do, but I never seem to get around to doing them. When I should have been productive, I was instead lounging around. The big thing I did today was to start playing Ultima 2.
The game isn’t as good as Ultima 1. When I first played it on the Apple II many years ago we had cheat programs so that you could pump of your character. This time I don’t. Mind you, if I put my mind to it, I probably could figure out the saved game file and artificially inflate the character. The extent of my cheating has been looking at walkthroughs. I read them because I don’t want to waste time puzzling through the game. I did that decades ago. I want to finish it and get that checkmark on my “life tasks” list. I won’t finish this as quickly as the original, that’s for sure. The way the game is set up, I have to spend a lot of time just trying to earn money.
The scooter gang didn’t seem to be doing anything tonight. It is cold and a long weekend so either one is an excuse not to show up. I still went, and instead learned a bit about tweaking my scooter. The ride feels a lot smoother now, and hopefully more fuel efficient.
After that I finally had the filet mignon that I had promised myself. I then watched the movie “Finding Nemo”. Now I’m in Starbucks (no problem ordering a medium this time) and updating my journal.
