Ain't Misbehavin'
I know what you're thinking. "What is going on with that perfectly fascinating and charming Steve Haske? He has been recently reticent in his otherwise highly engrossing web log. I do say."Well, I can't say that there hasn't been anything going on, because, oh boy, has there been. In Spades. In fact, I get little Q.T. with my cutie. As one of the many tasks, I updated my website, if you would care to shimmy on over there to check it out.
But this will all end this next week. Classes end on Tuesday, and I will be giving thanks for that on Thursday. I can then do all the things that I always said I would do if I didn't have classes getting in the way. Like . . . um . . . Myst 4 and 5, Shadow of the Colossus, Civ 4, Good Night and Good Luck, Harry Potter, etc. I guess I should probably start thinking about Christmas and all the obligations of that as well.
Really I will have to get together all my professional credentials, if I have any at all, in order to apply to teaching positions. That process is going on right now throughout the country and I need to jump on the train if I plan having employment in that realm come next fall. Scary, huh? Imagine me teaching people how to draw? All those doubts that are going through your head about that, are going through mine doubly. Anyway, I also want to make another submission to this year's Teatrio competition.

I'm thinking of buying a computer JUST so I can play civ 4. And so I can get on the I-Net at home. And so I can write papers so that when I go back to school in january I don't have to turn all my papers in written in orange crayon on construction paper because that's all I have at home. And so I can play Civ 4. I can't fucking wait. And all those things you thought your readers were saying, I was saying to myself! I do say.

Mandy! We are bolth Civ junkies, correct? So why don't we ever play against each other? Is it because you are afraid we could never be friends again after? I say, we could be even better friends! We should do the email-turn type game so that we don't have to deal with anyother types of people (those dorks scare me).
Really, that would make me a happy boy. Also, that format might mean I would be less of a 20-hour a day junkie.

Well for one thing, I am not technologically able to do that but if I get a computer and the I-Net at home I would be able to do that! However, I am not a very very good civilization player. I am very methodical and obsessive compulsive. I don't even really play to win and I play on the easiest levels because I like to get all the wonders and if I don't get them all I quit and start over. Some of them I don't really care about but if I don't get the pyramids first I quit. And the great wall. Have you played civ 4 yet? Is it much different from 3? I can only play 3 at my parents house.

I have not played Civ 4 yet. I too am very methodical when I play. I hate wasting resources on military crap, and I love getting all the wonders first. I usually save every turn, or even many times a turn, so that I can win all the battles and go back if I don't. Also, when I start a game I will save it and then send out several men to fully explore the continent for caches and to know where the other players are starting from. Then I will go back to the saved game and play like normal, and my little pawns will think that I know the future! Kind of like Lost, in that it is alternate saved games within the same game.
