Frustratingness

Someone at work was selling an XBox 360 with hard drive, extra controller and four games for £160. I know I can barely afford to eat, but it was £160 for God’s sake. And he says it’s barely used. He says it’s nearly new - only been played like ten times or something. I had to buy it, you understand that, right?

So now I’m sat at work with an XBox 360 on my desk. Thing is, my desk faces a great big disused Samsung LCD HD panel. It just sits there, never getting used. Now that’s frustrating.

Only just a little frustrating though, coz I’m leaving at 12 today for the xmas hols. After that there is only the minor XBox impeding inconvenience of going to the cinema with my son to see Bee Movie. Maybe we’ll get lucky and he’ll not like it and want to leave half-way through.

Oh, crap and I need to get some last minute shopping in too. It’s like the universe is conspiring against my XBox and me.

On an entirely unrelated note, I thought I’d do some unfashionable meta-blogging.

I used to blog quite a lot. Then I basically stopped. This time round though I seem to be having a different problem. I create draft posts and then never publish them. In the past I would post any old crap and then read it back later and wonder why on earth I made my ill-considered thoughts public. Now I write stuff but don’t publish it because I want it to be a little more considered and less ranting.

I know that this is bad for the blog. The secret to blogging is just to keep writing, even if what you put out there is crap. If you lose momentum, you lose the blog.

Perhaps over Christmas I’ll return to my drafts, consider them carefully and publish them anyway. If I’m not too busy with my XBox.
