Arg.

Just, arg.

I meant to spend much of the three-day weekend CP granted me writing. Total output? Exactly zero words. I just couldn't get started! I know all the tricks, and I just could not get my mind around a single bloody word to put on the page. This is incredibly frustrating.

It doesn't held that I am sore as hell, with no idea why. Everything hurts, joints are creaking like an old house, and it being a grey, miserable day is not helping my mood.

Maybe my bloody muse packed up and flew south for the winter?

Thankfully, there's no contract involved here. Yet. But I wanted a head start before we got to that point.

Oh well, try again.

Well, this is annoying...

As a bit of a celebration after finding out that I am being kept on after the end of the holiday season (Did I forget to mention that earlier? Well, I am) I bought a clearance copy of EA Sports Madden NFL 2003.

I was going to learn the game, then create my own teams (The McMurdo Station Penguins, the Sylea Imperials, etc. and have fun playing out a season.)

Except the game keeps crashing. It installed just fine. Hell, it's one of the easier installs I've ever had. But when running, the game goes for about 2 minutes at most before it blinks off and I get a message saying the game had an internal error.. whatever that is.

I'm half-tempted to go price PS/2s on eBay and get one just to play this game. It looks great!

Any of the Lords of Geekdom have any clues?
