Recovered from flu
For those of you who have been wondering where my author was, he had the flu. As is his common practice, he went to sleep on Saturday, and pretty much slept with only minor interruptions to eat, go to the bathroom, and moan "brains" incoherently for a day or two. Then he spent yesterday resting, doing all the housework he'd been too sick to do, and beating Chrono Cross (the plot's even harder to follow when you have a fever).
And of course, like all fevers, this one came with some weird dreams. Such as that he was President Obama, and that he'd been dragged into the House-Senate bridge committee to resolve differences between the two stimulus packages, and being Obama he wanted to be bi-partisan about it, and thus couldn't offend anyone. This somehow expressed itself as a highly convoluted 3d tetris puzzle full of brightly colored pieces. Had that same dream for about 10 hours. Didn't manage to resolve a single clause. Very frustrating.
Then the next night, he realized that he could trick the Republicans into getting him a line item veto if he promised to obey "pay-go". He then was able to trick both parties into both killing programs he didn't like and spending on stuff he did by breaking stuff into really tiny pieces with the line item veto and solving the much lower-dimensionality, smaller political problems. That was about when the fever broke for the first time.
Anywho, he'll be back on IRC, and hopefully I'll be back in the game again shortly.
