Oblivion Proof

[setsuled]

It's funny some of the things I've managed to hold onto through various moves. My grandfather gave me this 3M monitor cleaning kit when I was a kid, in the early '90s. As you can see, it's for cleaning CRT monitors. I've used it on a modern flat screen and it seems to work but I kind of don't want to use it up.

I didn't manage to get everything from my old apartment yesterday after all so I'll be going back to-day. Another three hour train ride. Since I was carting books yesterday, I gave up on Six of Crows and was reading Exquemelin and Saint Augustine instead.

A few days ago, Bethesda surprised the world by releasing a remastered edition of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

I'd like to play it, I guess, but I'd need a lot of upgrades I don't see myself being able to afford in the near future. The absence of modded content would probably drive me right back to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim anyway. That's what I was playing last night.



I have a mod installed that makes the dragons more difficult and appear more frequently. I'm getting kind of tired of constantly fighting dragons. I can't get any other quests done. I'd feel kind of like a coward for disabling it, though.

With veggie tables, lunches mapped a life.
You count your greens with orange and radish red.
But bigger sorts are white beneath the knife.
No plant we eat is ever truly dead.
It must be thought a crime to hunt a root.
A ghost will knock the tape from table top.
You wouldn't want to be beneath a boot.
A giant's foot is hard to quickly stop.
No special spell could halt the grace's aim.
But money solves a problem here and there.
Yet still the hunt abstains from poison game.
Or even from a deadly grizzly bear.
We woke beneath a gooey cherry sun.
Beyond us, all the choicest deer had run.
