Its that time of year again. Fall. My gaming time always seems to take a hit at this time of year and now that I am a professional painter, I find myself forcing me to the grindstone amidst many annual distractions. I live in Ohio and with fall coming so to does another school quarter. It's wierd being in college and on the quarter system, but thats life. Getting these jobs done now require a strict management of my time so I can pass my classes and still make money.
Football is here too. I am not originally from Ohio so I am not a diehard buckeye fan, but I do love my college ball. Its kind of easy though to paint with the tv on, but all too often I find my gaze lingering on the Tv and not my models...Pro Football I keep an eye on for my fantasy team (no not Bloodbowl..) but as I said being in Ohio the regular games are the Browns and Bungles, combine their annual effort and you might almost get a winning season... Also, the NNL pre-season has begun so I will follow my BlueJackets in no time...
Tv is not my only foe, the fall fishing season is almost upon us which will regularly force me out of the studio and into the burning sun and insect infested shores to try to catch something other than frustration and dissapointment...
Add a family to the mix and there goes even more time, but this is one that I would gladly pay. (The local pumpkin patches are almost open, yay!) But it does force me to choose what I do in those few moments that are not occupied with previous commitments. Most of the time when I can game I really have to pick between what I play: Will it be 40k or shall I play Malefaux? Shall I finish painting Blood Angels or Eldar or even Flames of War? Should I look at Infinity or Warlord 2.0? Decisions, decisions, decisions....
It wouldn't be so much of a problem but I am just so damned distracted these days. Oh, look at that....
