Feb. 13th, 2006 03:46 amThe snow kept the Andys away through Sunday, so this has been a really slacky weekend for me. Got into gear Sunday evening and am riding that into today, brum brum. Expect to see Space Station Assault become scrutable this week. It is a cool game and people should play it, gosh darn it... but I am well aware that, as currently presented, it's not very approachable to those who don't know the rules already.
Also, if you haven't seen Fluxx in the last few days, go check it out. I've been responding to feedback, and I think the game's sexier now than it was a week ago. I'm going to go ping the Looneys about it very soon, though I may hold off until I can coincide that communication with other stuff.
Feeling braver lately. Had one conversation late Saturday that was exactly the sort of conversation I hate having, involving questions that, once asked, make me want to barf. But of course all is better for its having happened. Much like barfing.
And the day before that, I was in Harvard Square and feeling a rush of wot de hell paid a visit to the university medical center's dental office. I nearly wept with gratitude upon learning that I can continue to avail myself of their services; I really love Dr. Joo and the other tooth-techs there. I don't have insurance any more, but the checkup fee I was quoted was basically the same as the last dentist bill I had to pay myself, some 10 years ago in Brewer, Maine. How about that!
So, Feb. 28 I will learn how well 15 months of flossing and fluoride rinsing's been paying off. Better stated as: I will learn if the two unresolved cavities have healed themselves (our optimistic goal), need to be filled anyway (dammit), or spiraled out of control and necessitate horrible blood-gushing surgery (unlikely).
Next is getting around to having a rest-of-body checkup, coz it's been a couple of years already... meh. Maybe wait until I see what happens with the company. If it turns out I need emergency same-day kidney detorsion or whatever, I may as well put it the triggering checkup off until I'll have insurance, from one source or another, ho ho.
