Day 5

Forgive me Father, for I have not kicked alien arse in 5 days since my gaming rig blew.
Actually, going cold turkey like this might have been good for me. I’ve caught up on The West Wing series 2 on DVD, which Kim has been nagging me to get on with for ages. I had a weekend doing DIY stuff in the garden, helping Kim potting plants and getting stuff she needed. Jack wouldn’t get out of the car (he loves trying to drive at the moment) so I washed the car with him in it. I have time in the evenings to do bits and bobs, and the upstairs of the house isn’t 50C (because of manic overclocking of my PC) when I go to bed. I wonder if Kim’s glad I’m not gaming?
The gaming gap’s going to be a bit longer. A lot of the water cooling kit I ordered is on back order from the supplier, and I still haven’t tested my graphics card for knackeredness. Good job Amazon have knocked back my HalfLife 2 release date to November 1st.
