Video[Nik appears to be going about his business without interruption despite the day's myriad curses. He passes through the living room, and thus in front of the camera, several times as he completes his chores. Twice, he comes through with sorted laundry. Three times, he disappears into the kitchen, from which the sounds of cleaning (or ( Read more... )

[It's the same scenario as always. Niko doesn't thrash or yell, only goes for his knife and wakes with his pulse pounding in his ears. He sees the photograph of his brother in short order, though it's of no help this time, serving only to remind him of a cave-in beneath the supporting structures of ( Read more... )

I've been told to go do whatever it is I do to relax. The only stipulation was that I not do so at Lux.

The cats might find it fulfilling to sit and stare through the window all day (Something wrong, Ishiah?). I don't. A spot inspection of the dojo sounds about right. Maybe some practice after. Unless someone has another suggestion?

At this juncture it would be reasonable, despite the inherent contradiction, to wonder if my rational mind is finally gone.
