It's amazing how many problems I've resolved by beating up baddies in old games! (although last night, I just sat and knit while watching a friend play a game, and that was pretty stress-reducing, too!)

I was meaning to go in and edit the .php files, as soon as I find the right password...

Stress in my personal life always seems to hone my ability to focus on a computer or code problem and see an answer. If only it also gave me the ability to see an answer to my personal issues! BTW, could the person running this site add a title to the site?

Reminding yourself that you can kick ass is always good! The last time I had a bad breakup was several years ago. I hadn't read any of the Harry Potter novels yet, and there were three out at that time. So I bought them all, holed up in my best friend's house, and read them for an entire weekend while my stupid ex moved all his stuff out of our old place. When I got home, he was gone and I felt much better -- the books helped a lot, and so did realizing that I could have fun on my own. Gaming is great geek therapy.

Since starting my PhD my favorite past time is sleeping. I really miss it though. I now read, go through total synthesis papers and practice reaction mechanisms, knit and read blogs. Does that qualify? Hey, I can’t remember the last time I really had the time to seriously game! Since starting my PhD my favorite past time is sleeping. I really miss it though.
