The Franco-Taiwanese Alliance

Life is pretty decent.  My hand is healing nicely (it’s into the itching stage now… eek), to the point where I can use it normally for some things now.  I still have to watch out for hitting it on things and the like, but oh well.  At the moment, Pyrrhic is being prepared for a reformat/reinstall… Ryan came up on Saturday and acted as my hands for putting new components into the ol’ Frankenstein box.  Now maybe I can play Supreme Commander… on medium graphics settings!  :D  A new router has also been installed, replacing the previous Router of Death.  Alice won’t let me smash it yet, but hopefully the new router will prove more stable, and then I can take a hammer to the old one.  I HATES IT.

Saturday was also part of my birthday celebration… the old man is now 24.  Alice secretly invited my best friend and his girlfriend up here, bought me flowers and a bunch of presents, and made me dinner (mussels!).  Then we went to see her play in Man of La Mancha, which was completely awesome.

I have a writing project to undertake today also, and either ribs/poker or gaming night tonight.  Pictures should also be forthcoming at some point, reaching back from Mikey’s birthday party to Saturday’s festivities, with a healthy dose of cat antics all around.
