I feel like I've been run over by a truck, but I can walk without going "AHH!" every step.

Mrs. thinks I had gotten my hip joint out of whack. I don't know, but she made it feel better, so I'll defer to her diagnosis. She says there's bruising on my back, probably from her. I'm worshiping the ground she's walking on this morning, though.

So, Gamefly is sending Dragon's Dogma. After I dropped Live. Le Sigh. And, of course, X-Com is a day one purchase, my first since Mass Effect 3. And Persona 3, which seems to have gotten a bit difficult.

I suppose I could milk pain for another day, but I do need to work. I can't take a full week off. Please, don't mumble, transcriptions. Just no mumbling.
This sounds like you had great rough sex with the wife and she popped out your hip. Then she did more of her sex mojo and popped it back in. Not sure you can share your theory with her but do if you can

The dark of dark matter and the Citadel's connection really seemed like an amazing story.
ME1 still is my favorite, especially for the story. I really am tempted to go back and sneak a play-through. Maybe I can go for some of the achievements I never grabbed.

I've had this happen relying on tech so much for a lesson (or a session) then falls apart. I have learned to always have a back up plan. Also, when working with a class I like it to be as interactive as I can. Especially with 7th or 8th graders. Those buggers have the attention span of an adult Karak.

It's been a long week. The solution to your pain (as well as how you acquired that pain) made the long week fade. Thanks for being part of the rogue gallery around here.

Ah, Minnesota.

Me? I'm studying for yet another exam (the 5th in a week and a half) and trying to keep warm. It's really darn cold in my room! Me and my poor plants are shivering.

I'm getting better at spotting fake American accents on TV, and it's actually beginning to drive me nuts. They grate my brain. Is that how Brits feel when they hear Americans do their accents?

Yes, yes it is. And the thing is, once you can figure out the tells for each nationality, it's fairly simple to detect, hard to stop, and supremely annoying. I actively stop myself whenever I notice myself pointing them out.

So I did back to back training sessions today and then went BACK to work after 45 minutes and spent another couple of hours at work tying up loose ends. And trying to fix a washing machine. My job is wierd.

But all I have to do now is set my e-mail Out Of Office message and I'm done.

I'm thinking of what to take for the next 4 days while we're at home for Thanksgiving. I think it's just going to be the iPad, Vita and a couple of books. I'm tempted to take the 3DS too, but I want to spend time with the Vita and the 3DS will distract me from its shiny bounty.

I....spent the day reading, and now I'm playing Dark Spire. And then I ordered a copy of Etrian Odyssey 3. What is happening to me?

I think my wife should take away my credit card when I'm sick, I do weird things.

...

But then, I have my CC number memorized, so that may not help.

Somehow found myself playing Majora's Mask. I forgot how much you can accomplish when you know where everything is. I have yet to even go into the swamp and I already have 3 full heart containers, the big bomb bag, the adult wallet, and the Bunny Hood, increasing my speed. It helps that there's a chest with 100 rupees in it that respawns on the first day above the Archery game (and one in your hotel room if you get there at 1:30). I remember when this game was hard. Too hard.

What's wrong with ordering EO3?

This is why you should be playing games you haven't played before

Oh man. That's the reason I want to take my 3DS home this weekend. I've had a major hankering to get back to work on EO3 again. I just crave cartography!
