Nearly went out
I nearly went out today.
What I mean is that I nearly got off my bed in the morning, nearly got dressed after having a 1pm brunch, and nearly turned off my computer – until I found It.
The train simulation game RailRoads! demo that nearly took the entire night to download was finally completed, and the installer file drew my hand to the mouse like alluring perfume. Now if only it installed as slow as it downloaded, I would nearly have gone out to take pretty pictures of the planes at Changi Airport.
Tough luck, the game started itself automatically after the installer finished, and I found myself staring at the end of 6pm when I was through with the demo. Alas! My camera is screaming for my attention, but it was too late. I didn’t want to go out after dinner, because I didn’t have a habit of leaving the house in the evenings: it makes the trip feel… intrusive.
So I went for another round of the demo; and this is the pathetic excuse I have for this short blog post.

The Man had a train simulation game demo on his computer for a little while, and I tried it. After crashing multiple times (and doubtless killing thousands of commuters) I decided I did not want to be a train drive after all.
(Can you tell I haven’t been reading blogs for a while? I’m going COMMENT MAD!)
