Badly Bandaged Boy
Worst superhero ever.
CSI: NY just declared that since someone passed a lie detector test, they're not lying. Don't even get me started on the idiocy of that statement.
There are certain games that never lose their appeal, no matter how many times I play them. Either because of great design and plenty of options in the single player mode or because of a brilliant and balanced multiplayer mode, these are games that I will gladly take out and play at any time.
Among these games is Advance Wars, in all its shapes and forms. Thus it is that I am held up from writing this post by a desperate need to carry out a carefully planned strategy involving about eight transport copters and the same numbers of mech units before I go to bed.
Gimme a couple of minutes.
Okay, that's that done. Now, about tonight's post... I've really left it too late again, though I have a slightly better excuse than usual. I think I've complained before about the inconsistencies in how my wound is dressed by the various different nurses at the hospital and how some methods seem to work better than others.
Today's method didn't work out so well. It had practically fallen apart by the time I got home from school. This necessitated a trip back to the hospital where we think we've finally discovered a bandage that stays in place well enough.
We also had the foresight to find out what it's called for future reference and the nurse made a note to say I was to have this kind from now on, so that's hopefully that minor problem sorted.
Other than that, today has been pretty uneventful. My Maths test and homework, both originally set for Wednesday, have been put back to Thursday and Friday, respectively, which is very lucky, considering I'd done no revision and I wouldn't have had time tonight.
My Computing project continues to progress, though it looks like it may run past the deadline into the Christmas holidays. I'll have to do more of it at home, since I don't want that looming over me, especially since I'll likely have finished the interesting part, the problem solving and the programming, by then and it'll just be documentation and testing, the boring parts.
And that's about all I've got today. Somewhat diary like but I've not had any fascinating thoughts occur to me lately. I think I've been spending too much time watching, and subsequently complaining about, CSI: NY. Really, some of the plot holes and twists in that show... I don't know if all this is a result of bad writing, natural cynicism or too much time spent over at the TV Tropes wiki.
Probably some combination of all three.
