We’re still cleaning up from this stupid hurricane here (well, “we” meaning the city and surrounding areas) – I’m up late packing boxes to ship stuff out (some books I sold on eBay for not a lot, boo!) as the darn post office is FINALLY back in action (but closing a few hours early). I have an airport trip coming up this weekend that should be a fine and dandy adventure what with the MTA trying too hard to get some things back before they’re ready (and screwing up the JFK bus earlier this year so folks who can’t afford their STUPID Airtrain now need to walk about a good half-mile from the new bus stop all the way at the end of Terminal 5 to where they need to drop off or pick up people). Feh (and Double Feh!) for actually having the nerve to resume charging fares even though the damn service isn’t even back to 100% (the tunnels are STILL flooded).

But that’s another story for another time (or another blog, as this one’s about video games)… Oh, I’ll get around to the new banner tomorrow or on the weekend. It’ll probably be Halo 4 just because it’s on the way and probably going to be the “big” game this month.

Let’s see now:

1.Wince a lot while trying to do normal stuff (Ouch!)
2.Try to stretch it out (Ouch!) so you can discover which old parts are the rusty ones (Ouch!)
3.Pop a few aspirin and get some rest for a bit because you’re probably better off not moving around so much.
4. Finish playing a game (EDF 3 Portable) but accidentally erase your save file and unlocked character in a bit of a tired and pain-fueled error (Ouch! Noooooooooo!)
5. Restart game, but quit after an hour or so because you really do need that rest.
6. Get up a bit later and watch some TV (Dexter, The Walking Dead/Talking Dead, Comic Book Men, Boardwalk Empire, Homeland), multitasking by playing more EDF 3P during breaks.
7. Pop a few more aspirin, Go back to bed, but play about an hour more until you fall asleep (as does your Vita).
8. Wake up, stay in bed and finish that game in record time, this time SAVING your progress (Whee!)
9. Get out of bed, realize you’re still in a bit of pain (Ouch!), pop another two aspirin and head back to bed.
10. After a few hours of twisting and turning (but not too much shouting, ha ha), get up and check your email to see you’ve got WAY too many messages (and some review codes which make you feel a LOT better).
11. Reply to a few messages and work out a few kinks in your back (Hey, this really feels a lot better than yesterday).
12. Update your site with this TMI post before heading off to start writing a few reviews.

Back in a bit – My back feels better now, but I’m still taking it a bit easy because it’s not at 100% yet.

Bleh – I’m having some difficulties with Gmail not loading properly and Firefox crashing improperly, so I haven’t been able to update or respond to a few emails while I’ve been trying to figure out what’s going on. Anyway, I’m working on the issue as fast as I can, so I’m hoping to be back in a few hours with an actual meaningful post. As it is, I’m typing this and can’t read it at all, so let’s hope my spelling is OK…
