The Fourth

4th of July in Boston was somewhat interesting. I went to a coworker's apartment and watched the fireworks from the roof. The photos turned out better than I was expecting.

Relaxing

I've been spending a lot of time playing games lately. My newly-purchased GameCube, Neverwinter Nights, and now WarCraft III have all contributed greatly to this latest game splurge. I think that after not gaming for so long, it's ok that I'm doing so much now.

I'm still trying to learn how to relax again. I spent the entire school year under pressure and spent few moments without anxiety. The sermon today was about exactly that, and I thought the priest did a very good job (especially since it's a pretty common complaint about today's society: little rest, must produce). He said one of the main things we need to do is figure out exactly what our priorities are. In order to do that, I feel I need to learn how to relax first, otherwise my priorities will probably be wrong.

I can only take so much gaming, however, and will probably return to doing some Gabber stuff in a few days (maybe more, since I'm going to be returning to work tomorrow).

GNOME Summit

Well, I'm in Boston. I certainly hope I'll be able to meet all of these people whose nicknames I know. If you're interesting in meeting up with me sometime, please let me know. Since I'm trying to relax, I have absolutely nothing to do. I'll take off work to meet people, I don't care :)
