I spoke too soon. Oblivion froze over.

The weather here has conspired to keep me gaming. It might have been nice the last time I blogged, but I am sick to death of below-zero (F) temperatures in March. At least we didn't have tornados.

Fifty or sixty hours into Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, I am beginning to wonder if I have OCD. Creating spreadsheets to make sure you level up properly? Checklists of which dungeons I've scoured? The game is huge! Undoubtedly there is too much to learn for a first playthrough, so I will try not to be to anal about perfection on a first character. But will I have this game finished before summer?

We're having a totally derailed conversation about the dow in the Off Topic section. It started out as a topic about the dow. Then it went off into five other tangents, and I'm afraid I'm responsible. I have rabbit-trail disease (I think I got it from a rat in Oblivion). It sure is more fun than watching the markets. During times like this past few weeks, I just don't look.

Three days before the DLC comes out for Mass Effect, but Oblivion might have me too busy to play it right away.

On a different note, even though it's a re-run, I can tell that the writers are back to work. Jay Leno is pretty funny for a change. He's only on, though, because I am writing this instead of playing my way into the Mages Guild.

I'm going to make a spell called "silence" that I can bring out of the game world and cast it at the politicians on their campaigns, and other celebs as necessary. I just wish I could live in a place like oblivion for a while; at least until a gate opens up and daedra come pouring into the world. That wouldn't be much more fun than a close race between Republicans and Democrats a mere seven months before the election. Like I said, the news...don't get me started. Too many soapboxes, so little time.

I think I'll go grind a few levels in a game. My grandkids would be ashamed of me, if I had ever made any.

Notes from a place where Oblivion froze over.

If you find that portal to Oblivion please let me know! ;) I'd like to escape for a bit myself...

lol, I just hit 110 hours in the game, and still have fighters guild, dark brother hood, and most of the shrines left to do. No wonder WoW is banned at our house. If Im this bad on a SP game, I cant imagine what I would be like if it was MP
