Video Games: I'm on bit of a tactical kick lately, so today I dug a little into Advance Wars (the first one). So far I'm getting my ass kicked by the tutorial missions. Last mission I tried I lost two of the units I needed to beat the map. I'm starting to think that strategy games and tactical RPGs are not for me. Even so, it's been a lot of fun; there's actually a little story threaded through it, so when you beat the enemy commander on one mission he responds with some upgraded weaponry on the next, which causes you to respond with some superior firepower of your own, etc. I doubt I'll ever get to complete the game, but it's a nice ride while it lasts.

Food: Still going strong on my no-soda Lenten challenge, by the way! I've even cut down a little on my non-soda sugary beverages. This week I found a nice, mint-flavored black tea, which tastes fine without sugar or milk. It's a big help when I need an extra kick of caffeine to stay awake, like today, for instance. Speaking of sleep, it's my bedtime now, so I better hurry off to bed before I fall asleep in my chair. See ya!
