volleyball and other stuff
Yay, ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
samildanach is back from Scotland! Though I will probably just stay out of his way at work for a few days so he can catch up on the ninety billion things people need him to take care of.
I felt accomplished at work today because I gave up on trying to do something my way and just copied the way other people had done it. That's a lesson for me, really.
After work, rather than going to the Twins-Mariners game, I decided to head up to the gym, where I did arm weights for half an hour, and then I noticed these two guys kept wandering by with a volleyball. They seemed to be looking for more people, so I decided to go up and see if I could play. I hadn't eaten dinner so I knew it'd be a really bad idea to stay for very long, and it was already a little past 8pm by then, but I played in one game, and by the time I left we had 7 people there. They play rally scoring to 25, which is a little weird, but other than that it was kind of like CS volleyball, just with slightly older people. Also, I played pretty well, which felt good; even my sidearm serve was working really well. I left at 8:30 because 1) I was starving 2) my arms really hurt due to lifting weights and then playing 3) I was already exhausted from running around. Man, it'll be good cardio if I go back and play again, and I did promise I would... apparently they play Wednesday nights and Sunday afternoons, so I should be able to make it sometimes.
Came home. Listened to the Mariners fuck up the game, eventually losing in 14 innings. Read websites. Played some PP; they released the housing stuff today, which is going to totally turn the game into Animal Crossing, I swear. I needed to take a bunch of hemp oil down to Turtle so I could make varnish, though... eh, we'll see. Oh, and Hades has Jorvik now. How come every time I run a shop on an island, it gets taken over by Hades? I can tell you right now, I have no interest in governing Jorvik. Nor anything else in the game. I think maybe after the big buzz for furniture dies down, I might bother getting some stuff to decorate my ships or shops or something, but it's really just not that important to me.

What exactly were you trying to do, and what was your way? Inquiring minds want to know.
I so rarely get a lesson in other people's way being better than mine, it's hard to be humble. In fact, I mostly suck at it.
Cheers,
Matt
