Shadowrun was fun. Although we got lilacmoon5's character killed. (Okay, vaporized is more accurate. There were little blood particles of Cary left and that's about it. And a shoe.) :-p That was actually very upsetting to me (I really don't take character death very well), but I got over it. Cool stuff happened as a result. We had already planned on pretty much retiring this set of characters anyway because we were all ready for a change.

The bad part was it happened right before we were going to eat dinner. :-p Killed my apetite completely. :-p And, well, y'all know that's saying something. :-p

I shoulda brought some of the cookies to work. Mmmm. Chaicookies.

Civ IV has still eaten my brain, but I've been spreading some holiday cheer/malaise in City of Heroes/Villains. ^_^ I'm not actually going to change anyone's costumes to make use of the Santa hat, but I'm doing the mission for the free costume change. Kalleesta will definitely like having that when she hits 30 and gets her third costume and her aura. I suppose I could re-work one of Kung Ru's costumes, but I'm not sure which one. Probably the martial arts robe costume, which I don't really like.

In CIV, I'm currently playing as Arabia. I was playing it initially to show it to Jason and margaras before we actually started Shadowrun. My continent has Japan on it, but not for much longer. I did two wars so far with him, killed my science rate, but I have enough commerce generation that I'm still flying through techs. And since my navy has started meeting other Civs and stealing their Worldmaps, I've pretty much caught up tech wise and the building of Courthouses has improved my cash flow considerably. Research is quickly climbing back up to acceptable levels and I will shortly be working on my end-game strategy.

Work is going way too slowly today. I'm so ready to go home already. And it's freezing cold in here.
