a lighter shade of Yellow

New monitor works great.  Computer is overheating though, because of Steam: I should purchase another cooling unit, but I need to get a new tower for it first.  Maybe if I will get another bonus check sometime...  Visited parents, ate veggie soup and zucchini-like dish.  Bought stuff at Rite Aid, Meat Supreme, new grocery.  Got a haircut at Katherine's place.  Decided to replay Mafia II since Castle Empire is getting too familiar and slow.  I think I still like that game as much as before, which is not a usual thing.

finding stability in unsettling instability

Bought Honei cabbage buns in Chinese supermarket, along with bean curd pieces and five-six instant mushroom soups.  Buns were tasty and completely vegan.  Ate the whole bag.  It was somewhat busy week at work: lots of calls, lots of writing.  Gums are healing, teeth are not aching.  Next appointment is February 8.  In the morning it was icy rain, then regular rain.  Weather forecasters predict there will be another rainy day tomorrow.  Talked parents out of buying me an apartment: I am comfortable as I am and they don't need them to spend their savings in this economic situation.  After wearing  suits all day at work for a long time developed a fear of being perceived rich: it would be like a stain on character and place me in a rather doubtful affiliations.  It's better to rejoice in what is given by life.

From Dust...to dust

Just came back from another visit to dentist.  Yesterday found out From Dust was on sale ($5!) and purchased it on Steam.  Well, game is based on singular engine possibility, so after playing for 4 hours, I am not sure I will play it for a while...it gets repetitive.  It looked more exciting when advertised.  Also, today I found out that there are official mouth rinses made with hydrogen peroxide, which I bought in Rite Aid.  Along with that I got Minute Maid lemonade 2L bottle, large canister of Folgers ground coffee (on 1/2 price sale).  Eating mostly ready-made Chinese mushroom flavored Ramen noodle-like soups for the third day.  Don't feel like cooking.

work, games, food, weather...and that's pretty much all I have to note

Tomorrow is going to be a heavy day, I think.  I am starting feeling it in my head even tonight.  I got bored with Castle Empire a little bit, maybe it's been too long of playing same game, so I downloaded APB Reloaded (free version) and played that for a while.  I also played some Tropico 3.  Also, played Nation Red for an hour or so.  Very intense shooter.  Parents brought some seaweed snacks, expensive vegan soy cheese - ate that.  Bought large bottles of lemonade and ginger ale, sliced canned potatoes and chick pea cans.  Weather was cold, some snow on crosswalks, but otherwise no effect of a yesterday's snowfall.

uncomfortable feeling

Yesterday's trip to dentist was initial success.  Next appointment is in February.  I got tired of Castle Empire and now playing Tropico3 again.  Went to Meat Supreme store and bought fried eggplant, a pound, with several NY pretzels and buns.  Have a strange feeling that something is not right, but don't know what it is.  Maybe it is something that has to do with work.  What else could be important?  Weather is cold, slept in a sweater tonight, with closed windows.  Now heating apartment with stove, and it does not get warmer even though it's been on for an hour.  Felt like people around are withering away.  Everyone got older all of a sudden.  Must be poor economy, financial worries.  Forgot to pick up jacket from laundramat.  Have to do it tomorrow.  Received Popular Science and Popular Mechanics issues: nothing interesting this month.  At all.

I have a feeling tomorrow will be a challenging day at work.

happy, happy, joy, joy

I use old monitor that my parents had before buying a new all-in-one computer.  My previous Dell monitor worked its 10 year service and just died on me.  Since I haven't played any Steam games, only Castle Empire, for the last two months, I was surprised to find out that I can't play most of them due to low resolution of the monitor.  It just don't go past 1400...and I had to buy a new monitor.  So I purchased it today, it should arrive in a week: Viewsonic.  Hopefully, it will come without any frozen pixels, as some write in the reviews.  Outside is somewhat cold weather.  My teeth are not aching, but I feel the need to take antibiotics...still some swelling on gums.  I will continue my dental escapades on Wednesday.
As of now, it appears I can afford the dental work and rental payment together.

teeth removed, infection under control.

Went to a good dentist on Kings Highway, on emergency basis.  First time I had full anesthesia: as soon as I counted to 20, I woke up disoriented, for some reason dancing on one place and trying to concentrate my gaze...and then I was told it was successful and over.  Got my antibiotics, help from parents with transport and food, finally back home with a bandage in my teeth.  The bleeding is almost completely stopped, I feel much better, and pain medications are working great.  It was a good day after all.  Hopefully, I won't wake up with doubled cheek the next morning.  Amen.
P.S. I have a feeling cocksucking lords of ever-fucked characters will be going to shake my other teeth now to get some resources...I don't know if there is a point to get bridges...  could be a waste of money... Oh, well, it's that time of history...what can anyone do?

joy to the world

It looks like I am staying home today: my eye is swollen, I am taking antibiotics and pain meds: my teeth got infected and the left part of face is all blown-up.  Hopefully, it will clear by the end of long weekend.  I will try to stay at home throughout it and I guess I can't visit parents, or they may get some eye infection.  Already called my work: hoping they will understand.  Saw an MD yesterday after work, took some pills: didn't prevent escalation.  Next Wednesday I will see a dentist and (who knows?) maybe my two teeth won't bother me anymore: they'll be removed.

everything is excellent

Sort of busy at work.  Ate rice and fried potatoes, with ginger ale.  For some reason was tired enough to take a nap after work at home.  At dinner had hero sandwich with chick peas and sliced pickle.  Weather is not cold again.  Springy, sort of.  Decided to replay Matrix: Path of Neo.  Stuck on the last scene.  Still working on leveling up in Castle Empire.  Dreams are crappy lately.  Not the usual excitement.  However, noticed that I drink less coffee.  Switched to lemonade instead of mango juice for now.  Usually it's cranberry/pomegranate juice time - guess, growing older.  Maybe global warming.  Next Monday is a holiday - great - will play computer games all day.  I feel more relaxed this week.  Emotions are getting number, that's the reason most likely.  Everything is great.  No complaints so far.  Good life.

another peaceful year

Today I have a dentist appointment.  Leveled up in Castle Empire and spent 10 more dollars on it.   The New Year was usual, met it w/parents at their apartment.  I had pasta yesterday, maybe I will cook it again for dinner.  It turned out this year that my mother was putting eggs into matzo balls.  Each time I would ask her if it has any eggs, making sure, and she would lie.  Truth came out accidentally, guess I won't be eating any more matzo balls.  I forgave her for lying to me for a year: I should have expected it, she just was more convincing this time.   Knowing mom, if I'll find any rat poison in food, I will forgive her as well:  I would blame myself for not being more careful.
