- I’ve been having another bout of insomnia but I’m at Remedy right now testing out their Deep Sleep tea. The owner of Remedy claims that she won’t drive after drinking it.
- There’s a new Seattle Transit blog, for all the geeks who want to follow the plans for the new light rail system and other developments. As a friend of mine put it, it seems that every transportation project in Seattle causes “the largest controversy Seattle has seen since the last big transportation controversy” (see The Viaduct Debacle and The Monorail Debacle for just two such recent examples). Personally I can’t wait for light rail and am very excited every time I drive by SeaTac and get to check out the progress on the rail line down there (and the signs that say “Light rail to the airport in 2009.” We’ll see when they really finish, but it’s exciting stuff nonetheless).
- Kenny and I are closing in on the finish of our Thai Tom NCAA bracket. The final round may turn out to be a sleeper since Swimming Rama and Panang Curry will duke it out in the semi-finals. My officemate suggested that we may want to reseed, but I think we’ll just keep it as is and see what happens. Hopefully the current schedule won’t hurt our Nielsen ratings.
- Nine (yes nine) years after purchasing it, I finally played Grim Fandango from beginning to end (I guess I can thank the aforementioned insomnia for that one). It was great, don’t know why it took me so long. There are a few big leaps (nothing too much worse than using the banana with the metronome in MI2), but overall it was an enjoyable game with an engaging story and a particularly unique style - certainly the first Aztec/Day of the Dead/Art Deco/film noir video game I’ve ever played. It’s too bad the adventure game genre is dead…
I think the tea is starting to do its thing. Maybe I’ll get to sleep at a reasonable hour tonight…
