We were supposed to go to Washington, DC today, but the forecast of thunderstorms scuttled those plans. So... here I am, writing a blog entry instead.
Woot.
You guys are great... But this isn't the same as a nice day trip. =P
I am moving documents from Google Documents (formerly Writely) onto this laptop so that I can continue to access them when I don't have Internet access. I am going to be offline for a while before and after our move, but that's no reason for me to quit working on the projects I've been storing at Google Docs. It's mostly constructed language stuff. That sort of thing doesn't require Internet access.
I am tempted to go on about how my noun cases are not working out as well in practice as I had thought they would when they were on the drawing board, but this isn't really the right place for that. I know I'm a boring nerd. No point in proving it AGAIN.
I got a comment on a recent entry that read "u suck." I think I let my Ms. Smartypants tendencies get the best of me when I replied, "That's what he said." That was really lame on my part, I admit. I am just not really offended by "u suck"... In fact, the attention seeker in me thinks, "Hurray! I got a comment! Ok, it wasn't a nice comment, but... Someone NOTICED me! They noticed ME!"
I belong in Hollywood. LOL. (That was a joke.... You know, because I said, "LOL". That makes it funny... In theory. Honestly, I didn't really LOL. I just smirked. But how would you know I was joking if I didn't claim that I had laughed out loud?)
I would try to get some game-related remarks in here at this point, but I don't have a thing to say. I was going to say that there's no game I am playing and no upcoming game that I am looking forward to, but that wouldn't be true. That's only true about MMORPGs.For so long, MMORPGs were the only games I played or followed. I couldn't imagine there would come a day when the games I want most, both released and in development, are all single player. It's just not a turn I would have expected.
I think it may be a by-product of my determination to NOT get sucked into believing that the Net is a substitute for REAL experiences. I was talking to someone once about wanting my kids to see the world and have a lot of different experiences, and she said she thought that her kids got to explore the world well enough through the Net. I was shocked and horrified, to say the least. I've seen the Eiffel Tower and the Washington monument, among other things, and there is no way to get the same experience of the scale of landmarks like that without being there. No amount of exchanging e-mail with people in far off places will ever be a substitute for walking down their street and sitting in their living room. Anyway, that person did me a favor, because she made me think more critically about how I was using the Net and what I was using it for, what it is good for and where it will always fall short.
Eh... I am straying too close to what I really think and too far away from who I am online. For a minute there, it almost looked like I might have had a thought.
First.
