It usually goes in this order...

1. *Stare at the Aion icon. Remember the grind. Move on.*
2. *Stare at the Tera icon. Click on it. Catch myself at the launcher and exit.*
3. *Log into GW2. Immediately remember there's nothing challenging anymore. Log out*
4. *Log into SWTOR. Think about working on the video project I have going. Eh, it'll wait till tomorrow. Log out.*
5. *Log into Mass Effect 3. Play a multiplayer match or two. Get bored and log out.*
6. *Check if there's any new FFXIV news.*
7. *Go watch netflix or hulu.*

Rinse and repeat about every 5 hours.

What kind of dogs do you have? Surprise

I have a Border Collie and an Aussy.

They are awesome, but my aussy is a pain in the butt still.
I have one dog called Dagur and he is a Beegle.

YES!

I have a Japanese Rosetta Stone..but I barely ever use it. I have all four levels too. -_- I should really use it more often.

Sad It is hard to do when I have no one who knows Japanese to talk to. And I understand Japanese wayyyy better than I can speak it.

Well, if anyone ever wants to if someone said "The policeman is eating" in Japanese...I'm the one to ask Tongue Although I have to say, I do find my ears perking up more and more often as I'm watching anime, as words are used that I actually recognize...must be doing something right Thumbsup

I'm actually using Japanesepod101.com.  Got a really good deal on a long term sub.  I need to use it more just calculus tests and bonus dev projects have been stealing away my time.

That said I hate having tan lines so lately I just hide inside with the AC on and play Animal Crossing. Then as it turns out you get tanned in there too.. no place is safe!

Ditto this.

I've been swimming (albeit infrequently), writing, reading a TON (currently finishing up Cory Doctorow's Homeland before moving on to more regular fantasy fair) and playing a lot of Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

Also, reading up on game lore and prepping for getting my characters together Smile

Oh, tomorrow Shuck and I are taking a 3 hour long drive down to see the Mutter Museum. I'm so damn excited!

Mostly been playing Skyrim, Dragon's Dogma and other random rpgs and games. Also been working on story for a unconnected personal project. I've got plenty to keep busy, if not too much, but it still seems like ARR is taking forever to get here.

Life is keeping me fairly busy in its own right. I had the junkie jitters for a solid week and a half after phase 3 ended but it's (mostly) gone at this point.

Doing a lot of reading, especially out of my comfort zone: I picked up three Haruki Murakami novels a few weeks back and I'm chewing through those at the moment, then it's probably off to retry reading Dhalgren again. Lots of editing; helped out a buddy with his third novel, and read through a script with another one.

As far as videogames go, playing a lot of League and Warframe. With a little Borderlands 2 and various titles I picked up on the Steam summer sale here and there.

Like stories? So do I! Feel free to take a look at some of my work.

the one everyone fears: the monster in the closet, the witch at the stake – the devil, falling.

It took me two attempts, but it was well worth it. Samuel R. Delany is incredible.

Another Delany fan! Huzzah! I love most of his work with a special fondness for his short stories. Dhalgren's been a hard one to figure out though.

To keep myself distracted from phase 3 to phase 4, I've been hiking like a madman. I'm trying to summit all 53 of the Colorado mountains above 14,000 feet elevation. I've got 7 so far.
