admission of geek addiction

Okay, so in order to explain this, I have to first admit that one of the reasons I've been so absent on LJ is that I've been sucked into that sin of all geek sins, that addiction for which there is so little redemption, a MUSH.

This one is a sort of Call of Cthulhu mush, called Lovecraft Country, and has been pretty nifty for the four days or so that I've been playing it. Horribly stuck in alpha-testing, though they insist they're at beta.

In fact, while I was thinking to myself, I haven't smoked a cigarette all day today, maybe I should quit today, I was smoking a cigarette.

Yeah, this doesn't apply to me at all. Really.

This week, Rob Brezsny tells the Gemini:

Ocean Dome is a huge indoor beach and water park on an island in Japan. Fabricated to create the ideal seaside conditions, it features artificial white sand and machine-generated waves that are high enough to surf. Air and water temperatures never waver from a comfortable range. There's an amusing irony about the place, though: Less than 1,000 feet away from its metal facade, there's an actual ocean and beach. Does this remind you of any situation in your own life, Gemini? It should. In my opinion, you'd get more enjoyment out of the real thing than the synthetic substitute.
