Stupid brain thingy

As I was telling Cher Mere, the brain thingy isn't working so well this morning. Last night I hopped on Sims 3 at 11:00 or 12:00 to finish a house I'd started building, and was quite content to putter around with it until I went to get a drink and realized it was 4 AM.

But the worst part ... the worst part ... is that my tired brain forgot to bring the cream for coffee this morning. Yes, it forgot my stupid lunch, too, but ... cream. For coffee. On a 3-hours-of-sleep Monday.

This cannot end well.

In other news:

• Sheldon points out a fatal flaw in Edige's unnatural fondness for Aquaman



• The copy of Rune Factory 2 I borrowed from him (Edige, not Aquaman ... pft. As if.) is bugged. No matter how many times I try, no matter how many times I double-check the ingredient list, I cannot update the stupid fishing pole. I haven't seen any other reports of this problem, though, and luckily it's not a game-killer, just really obnoxious.



• There was an item three, I'm pretty sure. I think I probably left it in the refrigerator, with the cream and my lunch. /sigh



• Middle brother came back from Cairo on Friday, and we had dinner with him and mom on Saturday. It's still hard for me to wrap my head around, that he got to Egypt before me, and liked it. There are just so many things wrong with that statement. But he saw the pyramids, and the Coptic quarter, and whirling Sufis, and the temples at Luxor and Karnak and the Valley of Kings, and ... and ... I'm jealous. So very, very jealous, but also glad for him, that he went and was willing to try so many new things. Besides, if he made it there, so can I. Eventually.



• Libri Vidicos is still going strong -- man, I love that game. So many delicious twists and turns! And we've started a new Pavis game, on the third continent of Edige's fantasy setting. It uses another modification of his Action Cards! system, which introduces an interesting mechanic for damage. I personally think it's unnecessary, but on the other hand, I also understand the the guys have a weird fixation with "crunch" in their combat. It doesn't really seem to bog things down much, so no harm done. The group is an interesting mix of semi-seriousness and sly goofiness, so it should be fun. I expect this game to be pretty laid back and relaxed, over all.

That's all for now. The Yawns demand I go bum a couple of dollars for a Starbuck's.

Eh. At least they have cream.

/sigh
