Cav's Place

I was saying that I wanted to make it to the end of the year without breaking any of my major “rules” for this blog, before giving up on one of them in January, but at this rate I can only say that I should make it to the end of this month, and even that will take some effort. What I’ll do for November and December, I have no clue at the moment, but I guess I’ll somehow think of something by then and struggle along as I always have. Admitting that I can’t keep this up in any way anymore is bad enough; have to at least try to make the switch at a “proper” time…

At least my entry for Materia Magica was just approved on MobyGames. That was a real pain to write and I worried and tinkered with it for a few days before eventually thinking that it might just be, if not necessarily good enough, at least not particularly bad, but I had to take advantage of this moment when the topic of such games was brought up on the forums. I had to submit it as a browser game, listing a launch date that’s a decade after the actual launch date, but there’s no platform-independent “platform” and it doesn’t seem like there will be one in any foreseeable future, so it was the only way to get this game that I played for some six years listed at all… And now I’m hoping that some who are still playing it may come and fill in the missing information or make whatever corrections may be necessary, since I largely wrote that description from memory and was forced to largely ignore all the features added since I quit.

Otherwise, I have quite a cold, but for the past two days I’ve been feeling much worse than the cold itself could account for because on Friday I also sprayed something in two areas in my room where I had noticed mold starting to appear again and that irritated my nose terribly. I thought it won’t be much, so just quickly sprayed without even wrapping anything around my nose and mouth and then didn’t even leave the room immediately afterwards, instead relying on the open window to take care of the worst of it and sitting here to talk to Tiel, since it seemed that, for the first time in months, we were having something of a real conversation, but I sure paid for that.
It was most likely due to the fact that this irritation was added on top of the existing cold, but until last night I kept feeling as if there were bugs crawling up my nose, plus of course the fact that it was very stuffy and I had long sneezing fits whenever I tried to do anything about that, and sometimes even if I wasn’t. Now that finally seems to be over, but now there’s of course some crap that made its way down my throat and perhaps a little into lungs as well and I’m feeling slightly feverish, so it may be a while yet.
