Sorry that I
haven't been posting like I've been wanting to lately. On Sunday Mom
threw a party for Grandma as it was Grandma's 80th birthday. And
after the party I was in a strange mood. I sat down and I just didn't
wanta. I didn't wana anything. I'm not sure what that mood came from.
I don't know if it was because of all of the family members that I
was supposed to know, but didn't know. All of the stuff people were
talking about progressing their lives and I'm just still sitting here
just trying to get my bills paid. I know this blog is about me. But
it didn't feel right to make a post saying, “Yay, I went to
Grandma's Birthday, and now I'm sad” I feel guilty for that
thought. But what will I look back on when I'm 80? Will I get to 80?
Not if I don't start taking care of myself. I'm not planning on
anything happening, or making anything happen to me. But that's just
the cause and effect. I need to start taking care of myself.
I've been having
a heck of a time trying to make progress in Oblivion. I was doing the
Fighters Guild quest line. And the last boss that I fought so far in
that quest line had “Elvish” Armor. It has the same protection as
the full steel plate armor that I've been rocking since the beginning
of the game thanks to the Castle Battlehorn addition that gives you
some of the strongest armor in the game right at the start of the
game. But the Elvish Armor is about half of the weight with the same
level of defense. So that would be double the loot that I could carry
into town and sell off. However the auto save has been kind of
screwing me over.
I finished the quest that I get the Elvish
armor, and then got tired of doing that quest line so I thought I'd do
the Mage's quest line for a little bit. And to do that first quest
you're supposed to find a mage that supposedly disappeared. But he
had cast a spell of invisibility on himself to play a prank on his
guild leader. You're supposed to cast a dispel spell on him to make
him visible again. But my current character isn't really a very
magical character. I've heard that if you talk to him enough times
he'll take the invisibility off, but that doesn't seem to be working.
However one of the times that I tried talking to him I was also
eating dinner and my dinner plate bumped into the “CTRL” button
on my keyboard. Pushing that button makes you crouch in the game. And
if you're crouching when you try to talk to someone it opens their
inventory to try to pickpocket them. And apparently pick pocketing
from someone in the guild will kick you out of the guild, even if you
don't take anything. And then it auto saves because you exited the
building. There is a way to get back into the guild if you go to the
Mages Collage in the Imperial City they'll tell you that you have to
find 20 samples of this wildflower and 20 samples of this other
wildflower.These wild flowers are scattered all over the continent and even if you do find the flowers there's an element of luck if you even get the materials from the flower or if you get the "you failed to find anything useful" message. I figured that it'd be a lot easier to just reload the
past save.
The last proper save was three days previous.
When I
reloaded the proper save it was right before the quest to get the
Elvish armor. So I do the quest for the Elvish Armor which took a day
or two in real life. Finally got that armor went to the Fighters
Guild building and the Guild Master is an Orc that carry's around a
Glass Mace. You wouldn't think that Glass would make very good
weapons or armor, but it's a magic fantasy game and Glass is some of
the best things in the game. So I was curious and I thought I'd check
to see if I could see it's damage statistics. So I crouched and
opened his inventory. It wasn't in his inventory. And I got kicked
out of the guild because I got caught stealing. And it auto saved because I had "left" the building. The way to get back into the guild is to find and kill 20 bears. The bears spawn randomly and one at a time. So it would be faster to just reload the proper save.
The last proper save was three days previous. And also again right before I did the quest for the Elvish armor. It's a good thing that this game is fun. I did finally got around to finishing that Elvish Armor quest again. And then saved...twice.
This Old Lady Carryout at work is going to get me fired. Her and the Mentally Disabled Guy who stands there repeating himself. The old lady is determined that she isn't going to work any harder than any other carryout. She, on an earlier occasion, had told me that she hates it when I'm carrying out when she's carrying out because I, "Make her look bad" I have to tell her repeatedly to do every single thing of her job. She's been working there for several years now, I shouldn't have to tell her not to put hot deli food in with ice cream. Or not to put loaves of bread in with bags with gallons (plural) of milk. When I tried to instruct her about keeping the different types of meat separate she seemed completely confused on the subject. She didn't understand why she couldn't put the raw chicken breasts, breakfast sausages, and ground beef all in one bag. And she's been working there for several years now. This is BASIC STUFF.
The mentally disabled guy. He seems to find a sentence to say, and that's the sentence that he says. I've mentioned him before. But lately his Ford Focus (not sponsored) needs an oil change. Heck, so does my Chrysler 300 (not sponsored) I know that his Fooorddd Foooocccuuuuss needs an ooooilll chhannnge. He's just standing in the corner of the front end wobbling back and forth over-enunciating Fooorrrrdd Foorrdd Foooccuusss neeeddss an oilll chhhhaggggneee, I have to work pretty hard to get his attention to have him come over to help bag. And when he does he just waves his hands around I'm trying to get him to help. I'm just waiting for a manager come around a corner while I'm trying to get his attention from his FOooorrrddd Fooccuuusss that nnneeeddds an ooilll chhhaggnnge.
I saw an amazing classic classic car in the parking lot the other day I'm pretty sure that it was a Pontiac but I didn't want to get caught snooping too closely at it to see what kind of model it was. I took a picture of it and had the wild hair to share the picture on Facebook. With the idea of, "MACBA Make American Cars Beautiful Again". I've been mulling the idea recently that I've always loved classic cars and they just don't make cars very artistic. I'm not sure if it's a sign or a symptom of something deeper. But if you look at cars over the last 30 to 40 years they're all just...car. Heck even the old Soviet Cars look more artistic than the cars we have these days. These days, we just have...car. I'm not sure if the car companies just don't want to spend money on over designing modern cars, or if they've just designed them so that there's some sort of performance issue if they make them too artistic. But why care about modern cars if they're not even going to make the cars look nice? Perhaps I'm just being unfair. Perhaps the classic cars only look nice because we only see the old nice cars, maybe we don't see the old ugly cars. And the modern cars are ugly because we are seeing all of the modern cars.
