Went to the doctor today and he believes the pain is nothing and to just keep an eye on it for the next week or so. Which is good, since WebMD told me it was a hernia. Got a Hepatitis A shot while I was there.

Nothing too eventful today, organized a bunch of stuff on my comp, worked a bit on the mod, looked around for a suit. Getting suits for someone of average height but a skinny build seems to be awfully difficult.

Following up on my thoughts yesterday, I think I'm abnormally sentimental and seem to get attached way too easily to things that really shouldn't matter. Missing college life? Okay, normal. Being sentimentally attached to a binder I've used all throughout highschool? Sure, why not. Being attached to a pen I've had for maybe a few weeks? Weird... Feeling sorta sad when I rearrange items (stuff on my desk, furniture, files on my comp) that have been that way for a long time? wtf?

I get used to then attached to the way things are really easily. Be it the way a room is laid out or the arrangement of my desktop icons. It's weird and I know it. Makes dealing with change of almost any kind difficult for me. What I've found reduces this aversion to change is when I know I can revert back easily. For example, when I went to college I didn't feel bad about a change of surroundings since I knew my room would be waiting for me back at home just the way I left it for years.

>Edit: I've finally backed up everything I needed from the tiny 40 gig hd I plan to retire and here I am for some stupid reason feeling like I'm actually going to "miss" this HD. Going through all the files on it was like taking a trip down memory lane starting at the beginning of college when I got it. Seriously, I don't think anyone else ever gets emotionally attached to hard drives.

Anyway, I'm just sort of rambling at this point. I was debating making a post discussing the methodology used in creating new units for SC2 but felt it would probably be shot down in the SC2 forum. Perhaps I'll discuss it in tomorrow's blog entry.

In closing, I found this interesting essay while I was browsing the IGDA (some game dev forums) concerning the ridiculous work conditions at EA. Granted it's a bit old, it's from 2004, but I still found it interesting. I knew EA was evil, but this adds another level to it.
