up by 9am; coffee/music/computer stuff/house cleaning/laundry till 11am and then to meet a local head-fi friend to hand back some audio gear I was demoing; from meet, to Frys electronics by 12:30pm to return refund some gear and pick up Metro Last Light (killer vid game) and then back home by 1:30pm for evening. Home all afternoon, games, cooking for the week, movie, etc. till evening and crash by 9pm.

Metro Last Light ... kick ass visual design and over all production; game play is a bit scripted/directed (no "sand box" here) but I sort of dig that as I don't have much time to devote to gaming anyway and so a bit of script/direction moves things along nice in that regard. It's produced/made by a Russian game dev team and the general "russian" feel of the thing, from the voice acting to the set design and the weapons ... is just awesome:

Major Achilles tendonitis of late ... running too much with not enough breaking, I'd guess ... from what I've read, it's fairly common and never really goes away. Consistent icing and rest is supposed to be the most beneficial. The icing process, oddly, is really fucking painful ... *REALLY* fucking painful ... pulling teeth without anesthetic ... but only for about 10 minutes as the tissue returns to normal body temperature and after removing ice, then it feels *REALLY* good ... and so I continue.

;-)

Here's a glamour shot from last night showing my ghetto icing technique:
