I finally got my eyes checked last week after several months of increasingly blurry distance vision and now have a nifty new pair of glasses. My issue is, I have the same old worn-out eyes to go with them. I'm definitely appreciating being able to see things better far away but my close-up vision suffers for it, and the only cure is... wait for it ( Read more... )

I'd heard that Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep has problems with balancing difficulty in different levels. I did have to retry a few boss battles because of having the wrong commands loaded once or twice, but it didn't seem too bad to me. Honestly, I thought I might have been overpowered for some of them because I have too much fun melding commands ( Read more... )

“Have you read more than 6 of these books? The BBC believes most people will have read only 6 of the 100 books listed here. Bold those books you’ve read in their entirety, italicize the ones you've partially read.”

Doing much better now with meds and adapting to Twopointoh's schedule, or maybe it's him conforming to ours. Physically I'm ready to go back to work, but we're still working on DH's child care skills. They're improving but they're not quite ready for prime time ( Read more... )

I was going to continue the birth story, but Twopointoh is home with us now and I'm not feeling very creative. Exhaustion and chronic depression are kicking my ass pretty hard. I know things will get squared away eventually, but for now I'm a wibbling mess.

So here are the gory details I promised earlier. This isn't going to be the most coherent tale, but hang in there; it has a happy ending ( Read more... )

The party snacks are ready, the place is decorated, the hosts are ready to go, but the guest of honor has yet to arrive. What the hell. I think maybe we gave Twopointoh the wrong idea with the bedrest and cerclage combo. Hopefully this isn't a preview of thirty years from now, not being able to get him away from the computer and out of the basement

Had another checkup today, at which point I realized holy crap, my due date is next Monday. I'd gotten so used to just saying "October 4" that I didn't realize how quickly October 4 was actually approaching. Anyway, progress is being made and I could have the baby any time between RIGHT NOW and when the ob-gyn gets tired of me and decides to induce ( Read more... )

I have a journal on DreamWidth now. There's very little in it at the moment. I may crosspost as the mood strikes but for now my journals won't mirror each other. Same Bat-username, same bat-channel.

Our Friendly Neighborhood Game Store has had a copy of the Final Fantasy 20th Anniversary Character Book for the last three years we've been patronizing it. I finally caved in and bought the darn thing. Even though it's entirely in Japanese, and no furigana in sight to bail my nonspeaking ass out. Lots of pretty pictures though, and a registration ( Read more... )
