fearsclave accused me of using the "M" word on Saturday, when it is clearly forbidden. ;)

Yesterday was spent very quietly vegging, as poor fearsclave came down with some sort of horrific bug. One of the symptoms appears to be profuse and constant apologizing for being sick. :P

We had a gargantuan breakfast with wultabat and looking4wings, and wultabat and I bonded over Left4Dead and really bad jokes. Hey, sultrysong: I used two of Th'Boy's jokes, and they were a big hit! :D

I am SO sad that there is no L4D that is made for Macs. Does anyone know of a way around this? Some sort of emulator dealie?

I played a solo version of Left4Dead while fearsclave took a nap, and made it all the way to the end before getting stomped by a monster. Boo. Then I watched something called The Last Templar with Carolyn, who threatened several times to turn it off if fearsclave and I didn't stop snarking at it.

Faced with a choice of movies on TV that was either Van Helsing or Click, we opted instead to shove in the DVD of Mamma Mia! and had a blast until it was time for me to leave. wultabat was kind enough to drive me to the train station, since poor fearsclave was in no shape to do so himself.

The train really is a very civilized way to travel. The seat next to me was empty both ways, and unlike airplane seats, they aren't very narrow or crowded. The train trip itself is about an hour and ten minutes, and door-to-door the whole trip is about two hours. Considering that about 45 minutes of that for me is spent in public transit (metro and bus), that's really pretty good.

All right. I am off to run errands and go to the gym.
