I've got a cold, or something. I'm not sneezing or sniffling, but my throat is godawful sore, mostly on the left side. Tylenol barely takes the edge off. And I have a cough. At the same time as my godawful sore throat. The gods hate me. (Butch loves me, though. He comes over and checks on me every time I have a coughing fit.)
On the bright side, this is giving me basically the whole week to clean house for our Superbowl party. It's also giving me the whole week to play Mass Effect 2, which is taking over my life much like Dragon Age did. That's BioWare for you.
Everyone--even the most minor of side characters--from the first Mass Effect is showing up in this one. Conrad Verner, the fan from the Ward hallways, shows up. (I got to shoot him in the foot! Woohoo!!!) And it's incredible, because it's like the writers sat down and said, "So what happens after they all live happily ever after?" And other writers must have replied, "What happily ever after?"
There are also some hilarious side conversations that you can stop and listen to.
Turian tourist: "How is a fish a souvenir of the Citadel? Besides, it'll only live a few years."
His Asari girlfriend: "You have to embrace the time you have with the fish..."
Turian: "Is this the lifespan conversation again? We're not having the lifespan conversation again!"
I [heart] BioWare.
