Spent most of the day so far freshening up my java skills and making a random map generator.  500 rooms ( Read more... )

Sparred for my first time in Kung Fu today.  I did not punch my opponent in the face (I sometimes do that; I tend to go for the head when I fight, because I'm so much taller than most of my partners), which is good.  But I did injure my foot, somehow, with a quick kick that must have caught an elbow or a knee or something.  It's been almost two ( Read more... )

FFXIII is waiting, open.  I have the next five days off from work, which is criminal considering the amount of work I have piled up.  Considering the game's length, that should be just enough time to reach a save point ( Read more... )

 Any of you folks know of good books on pregnancy?  Preferably big on facts and history, light on heartwarming anecdotes?
