it is five minutes short of 4AM right now, and I am up with Joseph, giving Tonya a much needed break.\u00a0 So I am watching bad TV, not getting a lot of sleep, and pretty much killing any chance I have of wanting to play anything tonight.\u00a0 After work, soccer practice, and getting the kids to bed, I am going to be completely shot.<\/p>\n<p>It has been this way for the last six weeks.\u00a0 I am going to have to make a WoW decision; I just threw away $15 in February, not even logging 5 minutes with the game.\u00a0 Then there is the stuff I would like to play \u2013 MVP 07 (still pissed about the rosters, but I do want to play), and the Christmas games \u2013 God of War, Gun, and Final Fantasy XII.\u00a0 My UK trip this weekend will give me some playing time, but probably not enough to write home about.\u00a0 Maybe that in itself will be worth a story.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, at 4AM, the TV viewing sucks.\u00a0 There is a lot of bad programming on at this time of night\/day.\u00a0 I am a big fan of educational type programming, but you can only watch so many reruns on Discovery, Discovery HD, History, History International, and Science channel.\u00a0 It looks like there is a new Girls Gone Wild video out, but even that sucks because of the little black bars that obstruct the better part of my curiosity.\u00a0 At 4AM there should be an understanding that black bars are not required.\u00a0 My $5\/month sports package is giving me some Boca Juniors on Fox Soccer, which is OK, but I do not like watching random soccer matches for less than an hour (I hope to get back to bed in the next hour).\u00a0 What else?\u00a0 Surfing, Women\u2019s basketball, college hockey, and some no name division college basketball.\u00a0 Not that I was expecting that much, but this is fairly ridiculous.<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Funny thing about Calvert #3 is that my gaming has rapidly decreased.\u00a0 It is not like I do not want to play anything, but finding the time or energy is another story.\u00a0 A good example;
