Wow. I survived November. With the horrible flu of death, the extreme reduction of caffeine and alcohol, multiple out-of-state trips and (for a while there) the nightly coughing ritual.

In this time, I have:

• Taught my mother-in-law how to solve Sudoku


• Conquered Sly Cooper 2


• Taken a whirlwind tour of Indianapolis (including parts I've never seen before)


• Found more people who swear they'll attend GenCon next year


• Flown over 1000 miles


• Driven over 1000 miles


• Ridden plenty of trains, though probably not 1000 miles worth


• Found a pair of sunglasses and lost another (though it's being mailed to me)


• Finished reading a good manga series


• Concocted several cool plot points that need good stories


• Developed a definite jones for watching anime and/or getting out of the house. Being housebound will do that.

Oh yeah, and I need to watch that Spike Jonze DVD ... if I only had a brain!
