Fun and Games

Playing the new DC Universe Online. Fun for comic geeks - not sure about other people, though. The cityscapes of both Gotham and Metropolis are very detailed, and HUGE. Lots to explore, lots of hidden references to comic characters, writers, artists and actors. And it is easy to play in small doses - unlike other games that I felt that I was getting behind if I didn't play nonstop.

As a result, I graded the rest of the papers today - usually I don't do this until Sunday and it kind of looms over me. So a minor success. Read some more of my book, which is so far kind of like Heinlein's "Citizen of the Galaxy" in that the main character is from deep in the woods, but is holding his own in a trip to "civilization." But he has a special, secret talent, his father is more than he seems, and there is a sub/side-plot about a spaceship...

Beyond that, a pretty lazy day. Put the Christmas tree back in the storage room, now the living room looks much bigger - big wide open space along the right side makes the room look even bigger, but also frames the "living" area between the couch and the TV/fireplace. Snow has just about melted here. Now off to take a couple of migraine pills - back of neck/head are bad and have that pain induced nausea again.
