CITY OF HEROES is back!!!!!!!!!

GUYS! GUYS!!!!! The ONLY MMORPG I have EVER HAD ANY INTEREST IN IS BACK!!!! My BELOVED superhero game, City of Heroes, has been resurrected as City of Heroes: Homecoming after TWELVE YEARS! Officially licensed from the original creators, NCSoft, with five servers up and running! I AM SO EXCITED I ACTUALLY KEEP TEARING UP, GUYS, I AM SO HAPPY!!! I loved this game! For those of you who don’t know, it’s an original-world superhero game that launched in (apparently) 2004, and was hugely popular, but eventually shut down in large…

*Buh*.

Apparently I’m a question in the X-Box Trivial Pursuit game. “What city does C.E. Murphy’s Negotiator series take place in?” *Buh*. No, let me repeat: *buh*! In other news it has just struck me that the 10 pages of “Hot Time” I wrote today may have all just gotten me up to the beginning. This is…somewhat dismaying.

I could really go for a foot massage. Instead I get, um, well, to work on a grant application. Not as much fun, I think, although if I get the grant it will put me in line for Big Lots Of Exhausting Fun. So I guess when I look at it that way it’s not bad. :) *eyes the CoH updater* Right. If I get busy, I can probably get the grant done before the updater’s finished applying the patch, which will then permit me to play Issue 12 without…

up and running

New computer is up and running, thanks be to Myles for providing it and Ted for doing the heavy lifting. Don’t have the files moved over from the old hard drive yet, but I’ve got the important things installed: City of Heroes, and SimpleMU*. :) I have managed a whacking 1011 words today, which is not exactly covering myself in glory, although at least it made the 1K wordcount. Still, I don’t think I’m going to do more, as this was a morning when I found myself cleaning the kitchen…
