Watching shows, movies, playing games, knitting stuff, writing fiction, going to work, attending school, whatever.  The more stuff you do, the more stuff you have to write about.  Except, after a certain point you&#8217;re doing so much stuff you don&#8217;t have time to write about any of it anymore.  <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m currently watching <a href=\"http:\/\/www.samurai7.tv\/\">Samurai 7<\/a>.  It&#8217;s immensely enjoyable.  A year ago, I would have been blogging the thing a disc at a time, talking about the characters and my impressions of the plot as it unfolds.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve got a programming project in the works.  Like my <a href=\"?p=141\">Terrain Project<\/a>, it&#8217;s full of little lessons and surprises.  Unlike my terrain project, I don&#8217;t have time to write about it.  (I&#8217;m making notes here and there.  I actually do hope to post this stuff eventually.)<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve got another project in the works that I can&#8217;t talk about yet.  It&#8217;s hardly taking up any real time in the sense of doing work, but it occupies my thoughts for a majority of the day.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been playing a little <a href=\"http:\/\/www.puzzlepirates.com\/\">Puzzle Pirates<\/a> here and there.  I was really into this MMO game a year ago, even going so far as to write a little Java applet to demonstrate a game concept to the developers.  (The folks at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.threerings.net\/\">Three Rings<\/a>  are amazingly open and interact regularly with users, even to the point of encouraging them to help design new mini games.)  I could do a whole series of posts on this game and on Three Rings.  It&#8217;s a unique concept from people with a unique approach to game development.<\/p>\n<p>On top of all of this is just the regular ambient level of distractions everyone has to tolerate when they get out of bed in the morning.  I&#8217;m exercising a bit to recover from my surgery.  It truly is shocking what can happen to your body after just five days of rest.  <\/p>\n<p>So, I have an astounding number of things to write about, and no time in which to do it.  This is in stark contrast to a few months ago, when I had copious free time and nothing to say.  Hopefully I&#8217;ll be able to unpack some of this stuff later when the buffer isn&#8217;t quite as full.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone else have this problem regulating blog output?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Blogging, we usually talk about stuff we&#8217;re doing or that we&#8217;ve done.
