I Think I'm Ready

[andraste]

I have:

- filled the freezer and the fridge with food.

- made a giant jug of iced tea (and a tray of ice cubes.)

- done a pile of laundry.

- told my family and friends not to worry if they don't see or hear from me for days.

... and most importantly ...

- paid off my Inquisitor's Edition of Dragon Age: Inquisition.

- set up all eight of my world states in the Keep. Not that I'm going to need seven of those right away, but it doesn't hurt to be prepared.

Now all I have to do is wait nine more hours and get the game home.


If it sounds like I'm over-reacting, I am merely basing my preparations on my two previous experiences of Dragon Age game releases. During my first run of DAO, I pretty much lived on takeaway food. I was better organised for DA2, but I still ended up eating lunch at four pm more than once because I had nothing in the house and the supermarket is FIVE WHOLE MINUTES away. I think lots of bagels and things for putting on bagels should solve that one. I have a deal with myself that if I want chocolate/icrecream/cake then I do have to go outside.

(Leaving Thedas for long enough to eat is one thing. Leaving Thedas for long enough to shower and put on pants and go shopping AND eat all at the same time is just too much some days. Those dragons aren't going to slay themselves.)

Anyway, I will be back when I've killed ... um, something. I assume. I've been on spoiler blackout for almost three months and have no idea who or what the Big Bad is! Which is pretty cool.

XD Good luck! I hope it's awesome.

So far it is amazing! And if nothing else, I now own the most ludicrously huge game box I have ever seen. (As someone who played during the era of giant game boxes, I appreciate this.)

Have an amazing time! Remember to do things like go to the loo occasionally!

Remembering to pee is less of a problem that remembering to drink enough water in the first place. I've taken to leaving an egg timer next to the jug so that I'll remember to get up, have a drink and do a few stretches every hour or so.

Morituram te saluto.

I have found the crafting screen. It is possible that I just ... might not come back.

On the bright side, my dwarf is now wearing the most adorable nugskin coat!
