Reading and writing and roleplaying
I need to try and make tomorrow a writing day. I'm still ahead of the game, but the past few days have been non-productive and I don't want to fall behind on things. I am 29% done, so I can't give up now!
Some stressful things with the kids going on that I don't really want to get into right now because thinking about it will only make me upset again.
I also seem to have caught a cold from my brother, which is making me feel all run down.
Tomorrow though, I will find time to write! Los of writing goodness will occur. Or

I picked up a new game for my DS - Mystery Case Files: Millionheir . Only twenty bucks, not a bad deal. I've played and enjoyed the Mystery Case Files series on the PC, so I was looking forward to trying this one. It's pretty sweet. Makes use of a lot of capacities of the DS, and has some nice touches - like when you use the x-rayer to search for clues and you run it over a cat or dog or some such, you see their skeleton. It's a nice distraction for my stress.
I'm also reading a book called Ordinary Heroes by Scott Turow - about a son who looks into his father's WWII record and finds an amazing story. It's neat as it is told in both the present time from the son's perspective, and in the past when the father was young and in the war. What the geek in me really likes is that they even set a different typeface for the father's sections and the son's. Not glaringly obvious (my mother didn't notice when she read the book) but I noticed, and thought it a good technique.
charloft is going well, I think. Lots of people having lots of fun. I am answering a lot of the prompts for heil_hans my immortal ex-Nazi who is eating my brain at the moment, and so_necromantic my necromancer / Nano main character.
