my father dropped by in the afternoon with some food. i gave him one more cardinal climber plant. i had a sandwich for lunch then made some more of that cinammon-brown sugar tea. in the evening i had some thai style rice noodle soup while watching the democratic debate.

i finally figured out how to take screen captures in hellgate: london. the trick is connecting an extended external keyboard to my laptop. the reason is because boot camp reconfigures the F14 key as the print screen, but on a mac laptop there isn't an F14 key. now you can see what i've been doing with my free time! the graphic in hellgate is pretty awesome but the action is usually so fast-paced that i don't have time to admire it, too busy either fighting or running away from demons. anyone who's ever played diablo with recognize the interface elements. in this particular screen shot, my character is armed with a "hive" sword that swarms with fluorescent green insects.
