Protected: Circle
Tonight was the first time I was in a Wiccan Circle since my health problems began. At the start of the day, I was full of energy and looking forward to it. Cleaning my apartment took a bit out of me, but I still felt decent. By the time of the Circle, I was feeling low, with…
Mage Knight night
Last night, I returned to Hobbytown to attend their game night. I brought along a copy of Mage Knight. I wasn’t sure that anyone would be interested in playing it, but I thought, “Either I’ll have fun playing this game, or I’ll have fun playing some other game. Either way I come out ahead.”
Protected: Gotta throw it out
It's a measure of how profoundly my appetite has changed when I have to throw away food I've kept in my fridge because it's gone bad. That never used to happen, except for lettuce and onions and such. Now I eat so much less that the food has a chance to spoil. I have an endoscopy this…
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves – Archived review
Now this was a horse of a different color. First of all, it had a "very easy" difficulty for us fumble-fingered oldsters. There were no impossible jumps like the one I talked about for U1. This doesn't mean I didn't have to replay some sections more than once to figure things out, but it never got to…
Protected: Good day, bad night
Yesterday was phone call day. Lots of friends and relatives called me to ask me how I was doing, and bring me up-to-date on their own lives. It was good to have that contact. Last night (early this morning) was a bad night. My eye ached and I couldn't sleep. I took a Tramadol, and resisted the…
Uncharted 1: Drake’s Fortune – Archived review
I'd forgotten the reason I hate platformers. I was playing U1 on my PS3, enjoying the story, not getting too bogged down anywhere because I was playing on "easy" difficulty. Then I get to the jump I couldn't make; it's the final vine jump to scale the fortress wall. I tried for an hour, and another half-hour…
It was a nice decade while it lasted.
Once every two years, the Particle Data Group at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories publishes their Review of Particle Physics. This is both a web site and thick magazine, about the size of the New York telephone directory. The production issues associated with such a volume are so complex that, even though it’s only published biennially, publication is distributed among several physics journal publishers; in 2010 it was published by Journal of Physics; this year it was published by Physical Review D.
In other words, it’s a big deal.
Citadels and Stone Age
I went to Hobbytown again last night for their game night. Once again, I had a good time, despite the fact I’d been feeling under the weather earlier in the day.
I played two games:
Protected: A good day
I work at Nevis Labs, a 57-acre estate in Irvington NY, on the eastern shore of the Hudson River. Today I decided to take a walk. It was the longest walk I'd taken since this whole medical drama began. I had no trouble, no shortness of breath, no pain in my legs. In late September, I have…
