1. Haven't been able to write anything signifigant for a week. All I've got is four pages of angst/fluff with Nez that isn't finished
2. I've got a cold, possibly with a low level fever (feel hot, but not achey or nauseous).
3. It's raining.
4. I'm tired.
Good
1. Rather than do anything useful at home I've been playing massive amounts of Gran Turismo. Finally raised my level enough to unlock the Endurance class races, and I'm playing through the first 300km race, currently on Lap 43. [1]
2. I can now download books for free from the PG County Library onto my Kindle for 14 days.
3. Work is slow enough to let me write whiny LJ entries.
[1] On the subject of Gran Turismo, I do love the game dearly, but I have a couple of nitpicks. One, the ability to save would be nice for the endurance races, given Thomas' tendency to take over when I step away from the controller. (trying to get through the 24 Hours of Nurburgringadingaling is going to be a challenge when I reach level 40).
Two, apparently the typeface for the game was made on the assumption you'd be viewing it on a Hi-Def screen the size of the Enterprise's viewscreen. I'm trying to read through car stats three feet away from a 36 inch flatscreen and getting eyestrain.
