I've gotten the Geeky Guide to closer to 180 board game reviews as of today, but let's see if I can actually get past that number today. I'm pushing for 200 reviews by the weekend, but I'm also figuring out my next article. I have a general plan, but now feel like there are specific games that I plan to cite, so I need to get the reviews published before I can start writing. It's a good method for giving my reviews a bit of direction. As much as I've set up a system that assigns a review priority value to all the games in our collection so I have a queue to work through, there are times that I just want to talk about specific games and ignore the queue entirely. In the end, I'm not a machine, and I need to be able to feel some degree of fulfillment after writing.
I had cleared another night's worth of O Bar videos last night, and I hope to clear one more tonight. I just need to get through this blog post, go for a bit of a walk with Tobie, and then it'll be back to work. I'm still kind of struggling to balance these two creative efforts with the limited free time I have after work. Both are time-consuming in different ways, so I just need to manage my time as best as I can. I have close to 900 games in my review queue and 102 O Bar videos waiting to be published. Whew!
And don't get me started on my reading queue. I'm officially 15 books behind my needed pace to hit my end-of-year goal, but the aforementioned activities are taking up a lot of my reading time as well.
In other news, we've been without water since yesterday morning, which is rather stressful. Maynilad's social media updates are erratic, and they're quite content to repeatedly extend the hours of the water service interruption, which just adds to everyone's anger (at least based on the social media reactions). The current outage was supposed to start at 06:00pm yesterday, but instead started closer to noon. The initial estimates had water coming back by 06:00pm, but that was quickly changed to tomorrow morning. We still have water in the tank, but there's also no guarantee things will go back to normal tomorrow morning. So we're trying to be responsible with our water usage, but that's just a coping mechanism while we wait for better news.
Let's hope things turn around tomorrow. I doubt it, but it's never bad to hope.
