Event Log: 5/13/14 - Running in the Dark

I got a sense of what it's like to be running for my life tonight. The heat was insane, hovering above 100 degrees for the entire day. This meant my walk had to be delayed until nightfall.

Halfway through my jaunt and it turned to evening, forcing my walk into a run. I was blind as a bat with dark silhouettes flitting past me. Towards the end, I noticed someone behind me and an irrational fear took hold. I convinced myself that this person was a danger and I pushed beyond my normal limits to reach safety. The person took an alternate path and I realized I was in no danger at all, but still, I don't like people running up behind me in the dark on principle.

I finished Back to the Future. That's one game off my list. So far, I've scratched two games off that dollar flash sale. The amount of value I'm getting from that sale is fantastic. I hope I won't be weighted by my rash purchasing decisions. In some ways, I'm holding myself back (in terms of real life) in order to get through all these games.

There was a brief moment when I had no idea of what to do because my internet was gone. Every time there's an outage, I'm reminded of how much I rely on the internet. Shit is a dependency.
