Ah, the fun of life-devouring computer games, you know - you come home from work, have a bite to eat, then start gaming. Next thing you know, you look at the clock and discover that it's well past midnight... The latest of these I've found is Microsoft's Age of Mythology (sequel/prequel to the Age of Empires games), as fine a real-time strategy game as I've played in a long while. I downloaded the 345 meg demo the other day, and I suspect I'll be popping into town on Wednesday to pick up the full version - I expect many an evening will be lost to this game. Unfortunately, the laundry's only half-way done, so I can't get to bed for another hour or so. Time for another game ;-)

Largely electrical: got into work this morning to find no power on the top floor, so we had to call out our good friends at Scottish+Southern Electric for the nth time this year (although it's usually the 1st floor power that goes, taking the machine and comms rooms with it). To give 'em credit, they did get it sorted pretty quickly. To give 'em debit, however, it didn't stay up for very long (the substation must be getting through fuses like there's no tomorrow). Currently we have power again, but that could change at any moment...

Ups: Have tickets for The Lion King IMAX on Sunday. No work tomorrow!

Slight down: Have no plans for tonight, so will probably be playing AoM and posting to LiveJournal...
