My great accomplishment of the day is finally finishing the main campaign in Elder Scrolls: Morrowind. PB refers to this game as "Lizardface," which is appropriate. Anyway, after playing this game for many many many hours (I think I started it back in 2004 when we still lived in Fairbanks), I finally decided to do the final quest (of the main game, not the expansions - hah!). I had pretty much done just about everything else and had been delaying the inevitable ending. Only it doesn't end. You kill Dagoth Ur and destroy his feeble little plans of world domination, then you step outside and keep going. The only difference before in after is that every person in the game starts calling you "Lord Nerevar," like the very second you killed Dagoth Ur everyone started instant messaging each other with the news.
Anyway, it was anti-climactic. I still have the two expansions to finish up. I've done quite a bit in the Mournhold expansion, but haven't really scratched the surface of the other one. The name escapes me. You know, the one with all the Norsemen (excuse me, "Nords") and werewolves. The game isn't as fun as it was when I started because my character can kill any person or thing in the game pretty much with a rusty razor.
In other news, it looks like good old Inspector Bucket left a comment. Perhaps you should start a blog, eh Bucket old chap?
For the record, the audiobook by Patrick O'Brian that I'm listening to is called "the Nutmeg of Consolation," which is funny because that's my cat's name. Not funny ha-ha though, just funny.

I would comment on this post, but I'm still having trouble comprehending the main content after a few readings. Are people literally instant messaging you in real life after you kill Dur gu ut, or whatever his/her name is? (By real life, I mean non-gaming life, although I understand that some gamers think this to be a meaningless distinction.)
As far as my beginning a blog, I posted a comment to your previous response to my previous comment regarding the nascent stages of my blog. (I'll try to through in one or two vocabulary words for PB to look up in each comment just to give her something fun and educational to do. PB, the word is "nascent.")
I guess I was using the instant messaging comment as an analogy. People aren't literally instant messaging. But when I travelled to another part of the game world after getting rid of the Big Bad guy, everyone had a comment about it.
PB doesn't want to post her own comments because she doesn't want anyone to read them. But she wanted to point out that you mis-spelled "throw."
