melaniesuzanneWe've been without cable TV or internet since we left our respective offices Wednesday. Thankfully the Comcast tech was prompt this morning and ran a new cable to the house (our old cable had been cut). Of course, I'm a little worried about the new cable because it's strung above ground from the post and through our back fence. Supposedly, it will be buried in four to six weeks.
New Year's Eve was a laid back affair chez![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ballistabob et belfebe. We all dined on lasagne and flan and toasted the new year with sparkling cider.
New Year's Day was less celebratory for me as I awoke with a migraine which didn't slip away until about 10pm. I missedthatpotteryguy and smiep's party and spent much of day whimpering in a darkened room. Fun.
But it hasn't been all parties and migraines, oh no. I've finally jumped in to "Fallout 3" and am faily hooked, despite all the anxiety attacks. I swear. I don't think I was this jumpy playing "Resident Evil 4". Thank goodness my character has high perception so she can detect enemy movement in the distance, but I still feel like every single thing is going to kill her (probably because everything in the wastes except an ant has taken her out). Gotta get more XP and better weaponry.

Date: 2009-01-02 06:57 pm (UTC)I've been hooked. I even finally got a headset so I could vocally reprimand those who stumble into car alarms and call down the horde.
I'm on Steam as "Hatemail" :)

However, to the west of Old Olney is a crashed UFO, complete with dead Grey and an awesome Old School Blaster of the Mars Attacks variety (and lethality).
Also, if you're in the wastes and hear what sounds like a jet about to crash, followed by explosions in the sky- follow the debris and you'll find another crashed UFO and The Firelance- the most awesome gun in the game. It's a rare occurrence, but keep an eye out for it anyway.
