Important Realizations. And Stuff.

I've come to a realization today.
I've realized that keeping a blog isn't just a good way to keep my friends updated on what I've been doing and what's been going through my mind. (Which, by the way, probably doesn't work very well anyway, since I'd suppose most people stopped checking this page five or six months ago, when I stopped writing. EDIT: Realized it's actually eight months since I last posted.)
My point is, It's also a good way to keep myself updated on what I've been doing, and what went through my mind at any given point before, say, last Thursday.
So, when I'm fifty or so, I can sit there with my fat beer-tummy (well, probably not beer, but whatever, you get my point), my long, wise beard and my Alzheimer's and read this, and remember all the glory-days of my youth.
(See how nicely this realization goes together with my wisdom-theme? Oh yeah.)

So, on to the actual Alzheimer's Reminders (AR.. I think I'm going to keep that term, I have a feeling it'll come in handy..)
A lot of this summer has been spent in Karlstad. Some at the Nightflyer's parents, some at Björn's place, and a lot of it at Rik's house. Rather too much, it would seem. Most of it was pretty awesome though. We played a lot of Resident Evil 4 at Björn's, and I decided that I wanted it for my PC, because I hate trying to aim without a mouse. (Then I went home, and realized that it didn't have mouse-support without mods anyway. I just don't get some developers)
So, after I got home from there, I went to visit my mother, which was nice. We played a lot of Die Siedler von Catan, which is an awesome game. I'll try to get one of my own so I can make you guys play it.
At night, I also played a lot of Caesar III. Haven't played that game since.. Fifth grade or so. It was awesome. Watching tons of people move into a desert made of empty and fire, just to have their house catch fire and burn them all alive is one of the most awesome experiments I've ever made on any AI. Or maybe it was just late. It was Awesome, anyway.
Then it started raining a lot, and my sister became ill (She had been at a camp in Rättvik) so I went home to Stockholm. And that's pretty much where I am now.

As for the future, I still don't know where I'm supposed to be, exactly, to start school or when I'm supposed to go there. They tell me I'll find out sometime in the middle of this month. So I'll see it when I get back home, by the 19th or so. Then I have to move lots of stuff from here to our new apartment, it'll be fun when it's all done.

Also, a friend of mine just got married, and his kid (~Linux Möller) will be a year in a few months. That kind of responsibility feels a bit scary, since all I have to worry about is handing in assignments in time, and get rent-money to Rik. Not terribly demanding, by the looks of it.

Now I'm going to watch all the Zero Punctuation I've missed. Over and out.

Nice realization, and compleatly correct. but you, alzheimer? nah, dont think so but a beer tummy, oh yes!

hum, I to looked att all the zero's today, you did not happen to get that idea from me did you? considering we talked about it while you realized you realization? heh.

talking about zero's did you check the "conan" one yet, I acctually got tempted to by the game just to help with yatzee's "nude server" thingy.

And I might be coming to boomerang too, if they'll answer my damn e-mail...

What's wrong with Alzheimer's? Judging by what the Nightflyer tells me, I'm halfway there already.

Yep, that was from you.

I did, but since he said that it was worse than WoW and seeing as how I do not like WoW.. Nah.

And, dude, wth, chill, you mailed then ten seconds ago :P

Oi vey! You never told me Siedler = Settlers of Catan! I've actually played that game, once, with the SVEROK boys.

Also I think this was a brilliant idea.

Nallenon said...

Well, the American version looks horrible and bad, so I'll stick with the German one :P

And what was a brilliant idea?

Just some information for you. I keep all of you Värmland (and Värmland related) folks on constant watch on my igoogle page, I see instantly more or less if any of you've written anything :D
