I hate titles. I really do.
Ada has been home sick the last two days, coughing and fever. She woke up today without fever. If it stays away all day today, then she gets to go back tomorrow. I don’t want her to be sick, but I’ve also been able to sleep in the last few days. Both Jay and I appreciate that.
My brother is coming to visit this weekend which means I have to clean out my guest room so he can actually walk into it and get to the bed. I made some progress last night with Harold keeping me company on IM. It lightened my mood doing something that is a little difficult. I’m going to finish that today.
I also finally finished one play through of Dragon Age, the game that Mac let me play all day on VDay. I ended up going back in time a bit to finish a couple of things I should have done not knowing that once I entered the final quest, I couldn’t go back to any of the side quests. Thanks to Ada being sick, I could put some time in at night and not worry about being so dreadfully exhausted the next day. Now I can start Mass Effect 2. Thanks to a coupon and rewards money, I picked that up with Bioshock 2 for a total of $35 and some change. Mac started Bioshock 2, and to me it looks like it could have just been a cheaper add-on for Bioshock. I suppose the amount of gameplay is more than just an add-on, but I’m not seeing a big difference, other than of course which character you play. I think the way you hack things is different.
Lastly, I’m still working through eating what I have on hand, and have made nothing inspiring as of late. Nothing. I’m not even in the mood to cook or eat. I’ll take advantage of the later.
The other thing that I’ve started doing is running. I used to go out and run during nicer weather days when I was in college. It sort of feel by the wayside and changed to power walking and then nothing at all the summer before I got pregnant with Ada. I picked up walking again by buying a treadmill since talking Ada outside resulted in her screaming by the time I was at the end of the block. I got back up to power walking, which for my short legs is about 3.6 mph, but at a 10% grade. I decided that I want to run. I guess just to see if I can do it again. I’m doing the C25k. I’m on week two, and running does feel differently to my body than walking. I go through music phases, and aside from the two Scissor Sister songs, my current cardio playlist is feeling stale. I’m going to replace most of it with some Nekromantix and ??. What do you have for me?
Bioshock 2 is a sequel, just like Gears of War 2, or Halo 3. There’s some refinements and tweaks in the game that I really like, but more of Bioshock isn’t a bad thing.
I highly recommend any of the Mortal Kombat soundtracks for exercise music. I have all three! Lots of good stuff on the Spawn soundtrack, too.
