Flow in games:

It's surprisingly addictive. At first, you're like "this is kinda boring. What's the point?" and then half an hour later you're still playing...

not much

Nothing much to report in my life. Things are fine, kinda boring. Mostly catching up from working way too much the last week or so.

Board games at Tom's tonight. We played Fearsome Floors, and it takes a LOT longer with six people who are actually thinking about strategy. (Last time, it was very late and we all played kind of haphazardly.)

My workshop at the beginning of the week went well. It was kind of a pain to have to catch the bus early enough to show up at 8:30, but the S bus goes right by the hotel it was at, at least.

Work is back to busy, but not stressful. I'm getting good at saying "yes, I can do that, but not until next week" to keep things from getting overwhelming. Hooray for having work that's mostly without built-in deadlines.

My coworkers are totally amazed by my super-ergonomic Kinesis keyboard.

We have a new version of DDR, DDR Extreme 2.

"It's A Wonderful Night", by Fatboy Slim, may well be the perfect DDR song. Groovy song, good beat, and a continuous streaming pattern that's just the right difficulty. (And it's a six!)

I have to limit how many times I play it each session, so it doesn't wear out too fast!

I just brainstormed ideas about a board-game version of my educational hurricane game with one of the student assistants working with us, and now I'm all psyched up! I think it's a pretty solid concept for the mechanics, and we just came up with it on the fly! I'll probably be bringing a prototype to our coalescing monthly board games night one of these days.

I usually like my job. Today, I like it a LOT!

(I need an icon for 'glee'.)
