A few days ago I bought this video game, Homeworld 2, and it's now starting to rot my brain. I'm starting to use the mouse functions by reflex when I check my email. Also getting that pain between my shoulder blades from hunching over the computer. And, when I close my eyes at night all I see are starship battles.
Almost bought a hula-hoop today at the 99 cent store. I'll ask Marie before I buy one. She might object to me hula-hooping in her living room. Might be afraid that things will get out of hand. For awhile there last winter, I was a hula-hooping fiend. I'd do it every night as soon as I got home from work. It was my way of (literally) unwinding. Then I went to Odyssey, and I had to leave my hula-hoop behind. I almost bought one during my one trip to Wal-Mart but in the end decided against it. I mean what would people have said?

I've been playing a freebie on Yahoo a lot lately, called "Bejeweled 2". For some reason, the clacking of all the little jewel pieces is very soothing. I used to buy computer games like candy, back in the enlightened days before I got suckered into playing mmorpgs. Although I was pretty jaded with that by the time I came to Odyssey. Since I got home, I can only play online for a couple hours here and there.
I am in complete awe of your daily flash output. A co-worker did send me a short short story and I've been working on the critique. I realized that he'd be overwhelmed by his marked up paper though, and so I only sent him the first impression. For starters. Then he'll get hit with the rest.
