The water seems to help, so maybe that's all it is, but I've been really tired lately. Bleh. Stupid meatbag bioshell with its "needs" and its "nutritional requirements". Bleh.. When are those stupid scientists going to get the bugs worked out of uploading?!!!
In better news, I'm going to a gaming party (Civ Foo) on Saturday! Ironically, it's only a dozen or so miles west (in NJ), but I will first go to CT, get my car, and then drive down. This will take about 1 hour 15 min, which is right about the same amount of time public transit would take. And it will be a whole lot more comfortable and not require a 10 min walk at the end in maybe-rain. I may go up Friday night--we'll see.
In anticipation of this cool event, I just bought Pandemic; I played it for the first and only time at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
majes / ifuonlyknew / jasra 's spring party this past weekend, and loved it. Had to get my own copy, it was such a blast. Pandemic is unusual in that it is completely cooperative--the only competition is against the game itself, not against the other players. Good cooperative games are very hard to design, and Matt Leacock did a really good job. The production values are excellent, and the price isn't too bad (~$35).
Also, Carrots and Sticks:
Carrots: 13
Sticks: 0
Probably could have done a harder workout, but it was enough. For tomorrow, I've put "Hard workout" on the list so I don't let myself slack. Also probably could have done more with a couple of my tasks, but again, I did a decent minimum.
