Nothing To Report

danalwynNothing's been happening here except me wallowing in self-pity, so I haven't really posted anything. Except that fall's started. And I'm slowly accumulating things like new frying pans and power strips so that my apartment is no longer falling apart quite as badly as it used to be.
Also been working on video games. Finally finished Valkyria Chronicles which I recommend highly and have started on Heavy Rain. Valkyria Chronicles was a lighthearted but very good tactical RPG, which suffers in the later levels from badly defined objectives and far too many invincible enemies, but was nonetheless an excellent game. Heavy Rain is much more brutal. For some reason Heavy Rain inspires a sense of anguish in me, which is generally the mark of a good game, even if one that I can't play for too long. It is, however, hampered by the worst control system ever, which creates quite a problem in one of the most beautiful games of its generation.

I'm sorry you're having a rough go of it at the moment. Hopefully things will improve with the turning of the seasons, yes? Our leaves are starting t fade here, and I'm sorry to see them (and the summer) go. The last two winters were severe enough that it feels like we've barely had any light and warmth before the year goes down again into the cold and dark.
