    The Owls Are Not What They Seem

    You're probably sick of me banging on about Animal Crossing on here. So I'm going going to do so elsewhere.

    Then I'm going to shut up about it.

    The DS Lite is ace. Almost certainly the best console I've ever owned. But it's causing a problem in that I'm spending far too much time playing games, and not enough reading books, making music, keeping the flat tidy, or exercising. Normally my game playing comes in dribs and drabs. If I've bought something new that I'm really enjoying I might play it fairly intensely for a couple of evenings, but mostly I try to maintain a balanced diet of activities. But because there's a fairly large number of appealing games in the DS catalogue that can be picked up for not-unreasonably sums of money, I've amassed a nice little pile of games for it in the past few weeks, each of which beg, nay, demand my attention, to the point where I'm seriously considering a period of voluntary DS-abstinance in order to deal with those niggly-little real-world issues like ensuring that your home isn't a total pig-sty.

    Still, I'm not a total shut-in. We're going to the movies tonight to see The Wind That Shakes The Barley, and I'm even going to be exposed to those twin strangers "fresh air" and "exercise" on Sunday as I'm going hillwalking with some folk from work.

    And yes, I'm leaving the DS at home.

    • Good luck with abstaining from your DS Lite. Hope the cold turkey isn't too bad for you ;)
