The perfect time for a controlled crash.

Frances was here and gone. Rocky's half done. I have a week left in this house until I have to move, and simply have not started packing (though the aforementioned Frances took away some kitchen stuff I won't need). This would be the perfect time for a power cycle and reset ... would that I could do that on command.

I'd like to take a moment to be grateful for my instinctive sense of balance, that stays with me even when drunk. As I was jumping around on stage last night, the (five-inch) heel on my left boot broke, hanging on by just a flap of pleather. I managed to hang on through the scene and the credits, but now it's got superglue splashed into it and I don't know if I can trust it.

I vaguely want something mindless to do. NWN2 would take too much thought, I'd rather not play DMC3 on the keyboard again, and I beat Half-Life. Currently working on downloading Half-Life 2, but it's huge. I do want to see what Skylark can do with it, though.

May I suggest Guild Wars?

Don't know if even that is mindless enough. Can't say I've ever tried.

Is it free?

Sadly, the answer is "goodness, no." Depending on the flavor you want (one world, different continents that can be interconnected at will, but three of the games are fully playable as stand-alones), it runs anywhere from $30-40.

Chris and I have Prophecies, Nightfall, and Eye of the North. I may have a seven day trial floating about someplace. If nothing else catches your interest, I'll try and dig that up.

I think I'm going to start taking advantage of the Steam account the school's giving me with about a dozen games available. Thanks, though.

I usually go for Quake 2 or something in the Doom series when I need something mindless.

Unreal Tournament is also good.
