Good Times Bad Times

For the plus side of today, we have:

The capture of Saddam Hussein. While it may or may not translate into a real reduction in the number of guerillas in Iraq, the symbolic victory is enormous. This is good.

My playing of Epic 37, which is one of the coolest games I've ever played. You will hear more about this when the game ends on the 22nd and I can actually talk about it.

My birthday, which was muchly fun, and good times, even if I do suck really bad at Godzilla.

My acquisition of Civ 3: Conquests. Yay.

On the downside of today, we have:

The lack of a patch for C3C means there are still game-crippling bugs.

My very sore throat means I'm sick. Dad's sick too, so at least we're all sick together. And based on how I'm not gushing or anything, probably viral, which means no help to be had other than drinking lots of fluids. Bother. I really wish it didn't hurt to swallow, though.

Checking the rules, it sure looks like fun. Perhaps we should meet up on ICQ ;)

Uh, nein das mache ich nicht. I know you'd want me to, but no, that's not what I'm doing, and I don't plan on it (no offense erik, just not my style)...

sprechen Sie nicht Deutsch? Das war aber nicht gut weil ich will Deutsch sprechen jetzt, und ich glaube Erik und Sarah auch nicht Deutsch kann...
