There's a blizzard coming to Boston on Wednesday, so it looks like I'm about to get buried under two to three feet of snow. Better stock up? I would just run to Hartford with my girlfriend, but I feel bad about leaving our roommate alone to deal with the snow, so it looks like we're all in this together. It would be more fun if we had a big back yard to play with, but there's nothing to do with snow here except watch it get dirty. Where the hell is it all going to go?
As always, I'm on the job hunt at a library today, and lucky me, I've already found two positions that would be great for other people I know! Am I just being too picky? I haven't been called back about that Data Entry job PSG was trying to hook me up with. There was an awkward spot in my online video, but I was distracted by having to stare at my own face the whole time. But come on, really, an awkward moment doesn't mean I can't plug numbers from a sheet of paper into a computer. It's getting to the point where I need to start collecting unemployment, and I would much rather work. Almost a month in the new year, and thus far, we're not looking that much better than the last.
I don't have a lot of consoles, so my gaming limited to a slightly broken 3DS. I can get a few games from the library, but I can't afford any new ones. This means I do a lot of free gaming on my phone. This is fun if you can get your friends in on it, triviacracked and quizup are good for a ten minute run. Otherwise, FTP games are kind of a headache that look more like games than they offer actual game play. Clash of Clans and Game of War are two pretty good and heavily advertised examples. A cow clicker mixed with some mild strategy make the game seem like it could be fun, until you are frustrated by the clumsy mechanics and expertly designed pay walls of both. I have read that Game of War makes a million dollars a day. Seriously, people? If you're going to spend money on a game, try buying a game. Alternatively are the endless runners, most famously Temple Run, but there are plenty of varieties with identical mechanics. Here's a tip from an experienced free gamer: If you want it to be fun, you're probably going to have to pay for it.
