iPads and Dads

 I have this proclivity, when on this particular medicine, to want to play Hearthstone on an iPad. I reflect on what it means to lead a fulfilling life, and part of that is definitely fun. Having fun, is a very important part of life.

I have blogged about Howard, my father, and I am trying to establish good boundaries with him. But unfortunately, since he infringes on these boundaries quite often, I am having to set permanent, block boundaries.

I think I need to work on having more fun. I may buy a $200 iPad and install Hearthstone on it. I recently bought a Kobo e-reader and I have to say, this has been a great product to own. It makes reading way better and I am really getting into reading in a big way.

But, watching Day9's stream on Hearthstone makes me realize literature might not tickle me in the same way as getting into Hearthstone might. I look up to Sean Plott in the sense that he really seems to be having a lot of fun. Laura says to "enjoy my life" and I think I really have to start doing that more. At the same time, nothing is better than reading and I told myself, as I bought his Kobo, that it would be the last major purchase that I would make.

But the iPad/Hearthstone combination is kind of unbeatable, especially when I am drugged as I am.
