Not that I’m the kind of person to run with a half-baked idea for a few days and then give it up and move onto something else…. but I might take a break from my board game inventing and go back to spending time drumming.  Coming up with a brand new gaming creation is hard. The one good idea I’ve had looks like it would involve a LOT of research, and I really can’t be arsed to do it. Back in my uni days I would happily scour myself rigid sitting in the library or working on a computer, going over old notes and reading old articles and condensing them into manageable chunks to use in my essays. Nowadays it strikes me as a boring way to spend my time. Maybe I’ve just got more interests now. Back then I was struggling to fit in, fearful of failing my courses and dreading the thought of coming home at the end of each term. Now I have a wife, and a life, and a mum-free existence, and hobbies. Funny how things change.
What point was I trying to make when I started writing this? I can’t remember now. That’s another signifier of the person I wasn’t then, but am now - I have the short-term memory of a brain-dead, cranially-injured goldfish.
