And the days go by
Hmmmm, today.
Good things:
I got a cable modem! Whee! They came by to install it around 2pm. It was easy and fun and the network hasn't gone down yet. I like network that doesn't go down.
I got pad kee mow from the thai place at Uwajimaya for dinner. That was really, really good.
I got a big box in the mail from![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
proz that is full of baseball cards and stuff! Ooh, exciting! I haven't really looked through it yet, but yay, thank you! It will do well to cheer me up, which I'll be needing.
ryani taught me how to distill in Puzzle Pirates today. I'm not great, but I get Goods and I got one Excellent, so maybe I can do that too. Arr.
Bad things:
I went to Sunset tonight to play DDR. I played Paranoia Rebirth Heavy (qualifier for the tournament saturday) totally cold, as if I'd just gotten to an arcade and had to play Paranoia Rebirth Heavy... like I might on Saturday. Well. Let's put it this way. I can PASS Rebirth Heavy cold, but I can't do well at it, AND I felt like total and utter crap after doing so. My sinuses flooded and I coughed up a lung and... my god, I'm just too old for this crap. Or out of shape. Either way, note to self: do NOT play Rebirth Heavy as my first song. If I do go to the tournament, I demand a warmup song.
There are some other very very bad things, but I can't/won't talk about them in a big LJ filter just yet. Sigh.
EDIT> ambivalent things:
I forgot to mention, but in Puzzle Pirates we had this crazy pillage where I was not only last pirate standing two battles in a row, but the first one I pretty much defeated 3.5 brigands singlehandedly and the second I defeated 2 brigands singlehandedly. My hands were shaking for about ten minutes after we got back to port. I'm not sure it's good when I think pillaging might give me a heart attack.

I definitely am out of practice, and Ryan and Carisa have been getting steadily better. Wonder if this means I should play more? Eh, I won't push it too much.
