- The guy that works next door to me hates that I have quit smoking. I've been talking to him during our little smoke breaks for a year and a half. Well, almost two years now. He keeps popping his head in the door and asking if I want to go smoke with him. I say no. He shakes his head and shouts things like "You'll be back! They always come back!" I snicker when he does it. He reminds me of a strange little man from some B rated horror flick. I guess misery loves company too much to see other people accomplishing something they wish they could do. I think that's why people get so torn up when we see their ex out on a date with their new lover. Sure, it's a little different, but basically the same in that one regard. Hell, sometimes I think that's the only reason we get upset about breakups at all. "Why couldn't -I- do that?"

- Well, it's been over two weeks and I'm still not smoking. I was on the patch for two weeks and ran out of them. It was step one with the full 21mg of nicotine per sticker. I wasn't having a bad time going through withdrawal. I didn't find myself trying to force myself not to think about smoking. I kinda missed it while playing video games but it's managable. I just have to find something else to do with my hands during down time. You know me. That's not a problem. =) So, I have been wondering whether to follow the advice of the patch and do step 1 again for another two weeks, then do step 2, then do step 3. I didn't make up my mind. In fact, I ran out of patches a few days ago and haven't bought more so I think I'm ok. I just needed to get over the nicotine and having something to do with my hands. The test will be to see if I'm still hunky dorey several weeks or months down the road. I've even stood by some friends who were both smoking after dinner and I didn't need one. Yays! I couldn't quit smoking cold turkey but I could after two weeks of putting a scratch-n-sniff sticker on me bum. =)

- Just in case I haven't pimped this game enough... Here is an incredible video of the game I've been playing for the last few months. EVE Online Yes, I know. The music does kick ass. =D Also, the graphics really are that good.
