elfsWell, there are balms for the soul.
Balm #1: 3 oz semi-sweet or bittersweet genache (I'm using Dilletante's Semi-Sweet Ephemere sauce), 6 oz of milk. Heat for 90 seconds in the microwave, then add 2 oz of peppermint schnapps. Heaven.
Balm #2: Doom 3. I have to admit that the writers have done a good job of ratcheting up the expectations. Just as I was heading towards the monorail back to the base, I started picking off imps, wraiths and possessed marines with almost blase' casualness. Sure, the cacodemons are a pain, but they're rare, and the chain gun deals them a mortal blow in seconds. Then, the monorail busts and falls to the ground, I'm exposed to the Martian atmosphere with about three minutes of air, and when I find the damned maintenance airlock there's a revanant waiting for me. It looks just like an imp WHAT THE FUCK IT'S GOT A ROCKET LAUNCHER! AIIIIEEEE!!! Boom.
Balm #3: Kouryou-chan. Whether she's reading a book to me, playing Sorry!, or sharing ice-cream, sometimes just hanging out with my daughter is the coolest thing in the world.
Balm #4: Omaha. Who manages to keep my mundane life in order, hug me when I need it, and look damn sexy coming out of the shower.
Balm #5: Clientcopia. Oh, man. I needed that.
