View From the Bushes

I purchased World of Warcraft on Friday, but since then it has languished at work in an overhead bin. But now that I'm (mostly) past my big deadline (12 hour day yesterday) and reasonably free this evening, I think I might take it home. I'm not sure if I'll actually get around to installing it tonight, as we learned in the classic movie, "What About Bob?" It's important to take baby steps...

It's pretty sad, really, when you think about how responsible I've become (this is one of those times when it's a good thing that it's me and not my wife writing). I have purchased two computer games which I haven't gotten around to playing because I'm not done with my work. That never would have happened 10 or even five years ago. I don't know if I could have conceived of the idea of buying a computer game and then not playing it.

Which brings us to a wired story with some great anecdotal evidence on the deleterious effects of playing video games too much. I think the story about the woman yanking the wheel of the car while her husband was driving has scared me enough that I may wait until tomorrow to take the game home.
