My other MMO vice: City of Heroes
This is how it is: over the years I've had plenty of opportunities to watch friends play MMOs besides World of Warcraft and tried out a few myself, but I always ended up finding them too much of a drag for one reason or another. Back when it was new, several of my friends really got into City of Heroes, and I had fun watching, but at that point I ( Read more... ) -
A political sigh
Signing out of a bunch of the places I post, because if I try to answer a lot of comments about the state of Democratic politics and the political health of the US just right now, I will say things that will earn bans.

A definite thing and a tentative one
I moved my laser ablation surgery date. I'm just not ready for it on the 4th - I need to recover from this exhaustion and get back on track. And then they have some closed time for building renovations, and like that, but they can see me in mid-April. I asked if there were risks of degeneration or other complication from waiting, and they said no ( Read more... ) -
You know how it's wise to not read the comments sometimes?
Very often in fact. But it turns out that a Strange Maps post some years ago brought out the hollow Earth advocates, and it's fascinating.

Weight Watchers, week 35
I haven't even been on the scale today, and don't plan to. Between detoxing from one medication, starting on another, and all that stuff...my weight's up some, I think, but it's erratic and this is simply not a representative situation. I'll be back at it next week.

Medical stuff: reassessing me and amlodipine
Disclaimer: This is not one of those medical posts. No squickiness here.
One of my long-time friends, one of the few folks I've managed to keep up with in person some lately, pointed out to me that I've been even more slumped lately than I really realized, and wondered if it might be my most recent medication. I hadn't thought so, but we sat down ( Read more... ) -
A Mac Chrome question
I've been playing with the developer release of Chrome for OSX, and liking it quite a lot. Having Evernote support is a huge step toward making it a primary tool for me, and I find I like things like the positioning of new tabs opened from an existing one. (Chrome pops them up next to the page you're looking at rather than the end of the list. This ( Read more... ) -
Shooting up
Well, the die is cast, or something like that. I've had my first testosterone shot, and learned how to do it ( Read more... ) -
Weight Watchers, week 34
Oh, yeah, I knew I forgot something yesterday. Up 1.7 pounds to 306.1. *sigh* But given how much stressing I've done this week, I really can't say it's a surprise. I will hope for recovery over the next week or two.
