Bought a soda from the supermarket to get over my aversion to carbonated beverages. Turns out carbonation might be the one thing I cannot ever force myself to like.
My ISP is shutting down its DSL network in a month. They're not offering fiber optic at my location, nor even fixed wireless. It's mobile broadband or fuck off.
Went to see Avatar 2. There were only two other people in the entire auditorium. I guess most people have already seen Avatar 2, and most people don't go to the movies at 3 PM on a Thursday out of a "fuck, I'm getting sick of being a near-shut-in" impulse.
Just replayed Backpacker (1995, PC/Mac, Macromedia Director). Classic quiz game from the multimedia era about circumnavigating the globe. Went around the world in 217 days, taking odd jobs along the way.
Got a kernel panic right in the middle of updating the kernel. vmlinuz and initramfs gone. Had to boot from a live USB drive, chroot into the fucked system, and unfuck it.
Just beat Wario Land 4 for the first time. Normal difficulty, 10/12 treasures. Getting all the treasures, all the CD's, trying harder difficulties, beating my score records, etc will probably keep me occupied for a while longer. Great game.
