Still at my parents, still severely lacking in internet.

husband_brother is in town, because she has a lot of obligations there and it's a serious pain in the ass to commute from here. And pretty much promptly as she got things done, her car died. At least I learned today why my period has been so issue-tastic and weird this month. I got the cramps, nausea, crazy insane hormones and everything else last week (pretty much on time) but didn't start actually bleeding. I've been dealing with what I just assumed was some weird, intense form of PMS for over a week before learning it's due to cysts.

Whee. Can something not go wrong with my lady bits? It'd be an awesome change, seriously. At least they're the sort that just go away, but still.

And I have revised my original stance on that game I played earlier in the week. I'm still very much displeased with the lack of (for me) a satisfying climax, but...well, honestly, I should have expected that. Even the great Mr. King himself has often left me going '...that was the big final confrontation? Really?'. So I'l just chalk it up to an homage. Still not love, but I think we can at least be friends.

And hey, I'm at least supposedly getting a cooling pad soon.

I'm trying really hard not to let the current situation get to me. Nothing has changed, we just have to put things off for a bit. And I know damn well that plenty of engaged couples are in the exact same boat as we are right now, and when things are right they'll be right.

But feeling physically crappy makes it sort of hard. :/

I hope you are not talking about Alan Wake but I suspect you may well be.

If you are, I strongly suspect this game was made with a sequel firmly in mind so I'm still holding out hope that we'll get one, even if it's serialized DLC. :/

I am. I...man, I am so torn on that game. Love the story and the main character and the environment, but... wtf was up with no boss battle? I was really psyched about a huge final battle with the dark presence where I'd have to make use of every item and technique I'd picked up in the previous levels, and how awesome it was going to be to fight something that wasn't just a person with some shadows on them or some psychotic birds, and I finally reach the cabin and open the door and....

Watch a cutscene.

I'm going to pick up the sequel when/if it comes out, but the no boss battle thing really threw me. I was left without a sense of satisfaction, without a sense of 'I beat the game!'. I just...finished it.

I understand how you feel. Zanne and I are currently living with my parents while I argue with the government about my ability to work while having frequent and regular hallucinations and hearing voices. Wee.

So you're definitely not alone in the "fiance and I live with my parents :|" boat. We're here too.
