I am up too late--I went up to my room and left my main laptop downstairs so that I would not stay up late playing games.  I got upstairs and saw the eeePC still trying to load Ubuntu Netbook onto a flash card so I did not overwrite the original OS.  Anyhow, I wanted to update the blog, but still did not want to get the  laptop.  I picked up the OLPC that was on the floor at the foot of the bed.   Unfortunately, it  had been so long since I had it plugged in that the system clock was reset and it threw all kinds of errors.  Luckily, I was still able to go out to the web to figure out how to fix it.  So here it is late and I am still up.

At D&D Encounters my character died once again.  Chapter 2 seemed a lot easier than chapter 1 or 3.  There were only four of us so it was more difficult to start  with.   Afterwards I went to a friends houseand played this game I think was called JetSet.  It had a similar mechanic to Ticket to Ride, but was different enough that the strategy was different.  I managed to win both games I played.  The first was mostly luck--the second was more strategy.

I am disappointed with myself because I have no motivation and I seemed to be afraid of everything.  I am beginning to think that I get obsessed with a task and can't move on until I do the task and there are things that I don't want to do that I get hung up on.  I worry a lot about the future even though there areso many unknowns.  I think too much and don't act.  I wanted to go somewhere to get some help with my resume and job search, but I didn't leave the house until time for Encounters to start.  I plan to do some stuff tomorrow, but I probably won't.  I need to go to the Trek store to see what they have to say about my rapid fire shifter not working.  I also needto talk to the bank about why I can't transfer money from one account to another.

I really need to get some sleep if I am going to get up tomorrow.
