Personal

Running at the gym after work I got the pleasure to see something on some random news hour from a US station. In it they featured some Society Against Violence (or something like that) who banded together with police to alert people about the dangers of ….. Video Games. They had some poster child for […]

FireflyBro came over tonight with the new couch and loveseat we bought (but haven’t paid for) from FireflyUncle a few weeks ago. Of course, we still have the old ones, so our living room is how you say, “full”. Two couches and two loveseats make a cosy room. The cats have been told to not

Went home yesterday around 11 or so and spent some time on the couch, then in bed sleeping for several hours, when I wasn’t heading to the bathroom feeling like I was about to puke, but not managing too (and believe me I tried). I woke up around 4:30 or so in bed, bathed in

After work I hit the gym. 45 min on the treadmill at 6.3mph, a couple of sets of biceps and triceps (but not too much) and then home, as there is a bit of paperwork to do. I pulled into my parking spot as usual, grabbed my slightly sweaty smelling gym bag from the trunk

Had one of those mornings this morning. You know, you slip in the shower, things are always three inches closer or farther from your fingers than you expect…..

I have been thinking about getting a joystick lately, and as I had the Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 I kinda figured I’d get that. On a whim I decided to see what people had to say about it online, and prices for different stores, and what other options I have for a good USB
