Other than Insomnia, What Else Has Kept Me Away from Writing?

My last post was one spent venting about something very much out of my hands, my chronic insomnia (note the time this is being posted).

This morning I'm going to touch on something that while very much within my control has become the latest culprit to suck up my writing time: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

After months of pleading with me a good friend convinced me to sign up for Xbox Live (something I'd resisted for over a year for a variety of reasons) and once MW2 hit store shelves last Tuesday I became a bit of an addict.

Granted I'm not playing every waking moment and it's given me something "constructive" to do with these early morning, too tired to write hours but I do need to keep an eye on my gaming hours. Once my sleep levels out and I can think coherently again I'll definately have to cut back on the games and buckle down.

For now though I'm thoroughly enjoying the gunning down of (and getting gunned down by) total strangers and real life friends alike.

For those of you who read this that have also been bitten by the COD:MW2 bug (or enjoy playing other games) send me an invite or a friend request on Xbox Live. I'm always looking for new people to play against online since my duties as a husband and father have 86ed my real-life social life.

My gamertag is QuasiShad and I'll be looking forward to facing off with you.

Oh and the wife would have me strung up by my toenails if I didn't drop the biggest news of our lives here too. We found out this week that, provided the little booger doesn't decide he wants out sooner, they are going to do the C-section on the 1st of December.
Let the countdown begin!

I can't say much about the xbox game, because I have to admit I've gotten sucked back into WoW. But I'm trying to still get some writing done.

Congratulations about the little one. May everything go smoothly with the delivery. My son was delivered by C-section, though it wasn't planned that way. If the two of you need any recovery advice (or any other kind), don't hesitate to ask.

Honestly I've never "gotten" WoW.

I've tried playing it a few times but am bored stiff by it, which is weird since I love the fantasy genre.
