It happens.

One funky thing I realized about myself a few years ago is how some environments can kind of activate certain tendencies. IE I realized I can probably never, ever take classes or "work" from home in my main room where my computer is, games and TV, and bed. That's my area to relax and not work. So when I was still taking some classes years ago I would force myself to drive up to the campus and do my homework in the computer labs, even if it was everything I could do from home. And I honestly don't know if I ever fully passed a completely online course at all.

I still think it would be nice to figure out how to make money doing something from home or some computer work. But yeah, now I realize if that ever happens I would more than likely need a dedicated quiet room and office, where work is all I do in that area.

Just how my brain works apparently haha.

I spent part of the weekend hanging out at the Smite world championship with my cousin and uncle. I have two cousins by this uncle, and while I've met the older one a few times, the younger one's about half my age, so this was my first opportunity to get to know him. So we watched folks play a MOBA, talked about its finer points, witnessed some excellent back and forth matches by the world's best players in the game, and pretty much had a good time despite the snow and ice storms that thankfully didn't do too much damage to Atlanta. It was a good time.

Wouldn't have guessed you were one for MOBA's.

Is it okay if I drink a gallon of chocolate almond milk over the weekend? It's too good!

Only if you look sexy doing it. That's a requirement, right?

I'm actually not, I just wanted the opportunity to spend some time with a cousin I barely know. For me that was the real reason for the trip.

I will be in Las Vegas at the end of the month for a couple days. I was thinking about hitting up some casinos. Anybody got any advice on casinos in Vegas that don't suck?

The Tangiers Casino would be my recommendation.
