seattle is in the grip of ice and snow: it took me almost an hour to walk a mile yesterday to the doctor, all the while scared of falling and breaking my elbow more. today i had to struggle just to get up to my house from monkey’s.

but going down to monkey’s was worth it because we fired up the revolution and loaded up some excite truck. and then we rocked it out for four hours, grabbing all kinds of accomplishments and shiny ‘s’ medals. that game is all kinds of fun, and if it had online multiplay and four-play functionality it’d be my game of the year hands down.

also, i’m convinced that playing it helped me loosen up my wrist and elbow a bit, which is a good thing. what can i say, gesturing around to drive a truck is actually way, way fun.

his six word short story is just one more example of why i like neal stephenson:

tick tock tick tock tick tick.

i think xkdc is rapidly becoming one of my favorite webcomics.
