Three things

I had to ask for a deadline extension today. I feel like a real journalist.

My muscles are made of lead. I really hoped I'd be feeling better, but (except for how I felt Sunday night) I feel worse. This must be how a Martian who came to Earth would feel.

A hand-made Valentine's Day card is the best gift ever.

OMG boxes

Packing is really, really annoying. Fortunately, we're almost done. We only have a few things left:

  • Sort through the stuff at the top of my closet

  • Pack [personal profile] schoolpsychnerd and my clothes away

  • Get the stuff I've left in the basement (video games, Wii, etc.)

Once that's done, it's just moving to the new location and then unpacking. As well as working out a few other minor details when we get there (how to dispose of garbage, how we get the mail, pre-lease signing inspection to make sure we don't get screwed out of our security deposit when we leave...).

I think It's the Fear is my favorite song right now. You can take the angst out of me, but you can't take me out of the angst, I guess.

So, while Ultimate yesterday was awesome, my muscles today are doing a fabulous job of telling me that I shouldn't have played it. At length, and with some vigor. While I'm more in shape than I was (I didn't get excessively tired during the game, and I didn't need a break, or even really to sit down, after it was done), I'm not as in shape as I thought. With more Ultimate games forthcoming, though, hopefully that should get better soon.

As a show of solidarity with my muscles' pain and anguish, I will share with you the most emo video ever made.

If anyone can out-emo that, please post it. I'm curious. ^_^

There's some images available from the next Fallout game. With the change in setting, they won't need to worry much about what happened on the West Coast. It's shaping up to be a good game, from the minimal information we have. Have to wait until Fall 2008 for it, though...

I got to play Ultimate Frisbee today. I haven't played that in...six years, I think? And I haven't played frisbee at all in three years, but I was still not bad. Better than I (and some of the other people) expected, anyway, though I need to work on throwing. I made some pretty crappy throws. We're planning on doing it the first and third Sundays of the month, at Engstrom Park in Batavia, for anyone who is free and available to come.

Oh--this is another shout out. Rachel and I will be moving into our apartment on the 7th. For anyone who wants to help, we'll feed you a home-cooked meal at the end of the day. ^_^

Starcraft board game?

Awesome. I mean, clearly actually playing Starcraft is awesome too, but a board game? 180 miniatures? Card-driven combat? 2-6 players?

All I have to say is, "Zerg Rush! Kekekekekekeke ^_^"

My knee has been clicking a lot when I do anything other than moving it in simple up-and-down patterns. It's a little worrying, though not that much. It's not painful, there's no loss of movement, and since I had knee surgery when I was 13 I knew something like this would happen eventually. I just hoped that eventually would mean "sometime in the distant future."

I should probably stretch more before exercising. My stretching right now is kind of perfunctory.

Ow the pain

So, I left work a little early today because of extreme lower back pain. It's gone away slightly since then--but not much.

It started at lunch with a little twinge every time I coughed (for those in the know, The Cough is back >_<). By the time lunch was over, it was a general achiness. After about twenty minutes, it was pure pain with spikes whenever I bent the wrong direction.

It could have been caused by exercise (I lifted last night), but wouldn't that have shown up before lunchtime? Regardless, I came back from work to lie down for a while and am currently sitting at my computer with a heating pad and a cup of green tea. Hopefully that helps...
