I played a few minutes of Zelda II: The Adventure of Link on the Internets today. It wasn't bad. The site was a bit slow though, so I stopped.
I'd get up and get my DS to play some Ace Attorney, but once I get cozy in bed, all bets are off.
Earlier today, I dealt with an e-mail that stressed me out way more than was worth it it turns out. Just needed one correction on my IRB-H form needed for any research involving humans. Of course, I think the form is a bit too much red tape for just sending out a survey. Don't get me wrong, I think myself and other researchers need to be held accountable for keeping things anonymous, not harming subjects etc. but I just think the form is too long and technical when all I'm basically asking to do is see if some college students have 5 minutes to tell me random, non-identifying crap about themselves.
Anyway, I was completely reworking that form until the meeting with my thesis chair and then found out all I had to do was add a phone number. Well then. But then he suggested I add more questions to the survey, so I'll need to get on putting those in and sending the updated version to the IRB, so we'll see how that goes. E-mailed what I have now already.
Then I "ran" a 5K with the run club I joined. I have blisters on both feet and really need new shoes, but at least I got some good cardio in. Not gonna eat today.
About to go to sleep in fact. The cat just hopped into bed. Good night all. Think I'll buy that panda game mothman mentioned on Steam and the PS4 bundle tomorrow, The Lord of Video Games willing.
dude i couldn't run 5k if my life depended on it. I just weighed myself though and I think I've lost ten pounds since my last doctor's visit in the fall. I'm not exactly sure, but i weigh 240 now, and I think I was 250 or 260 then. I remember because my doctor complained about it.
I guess even the little exercise i do get helps.
When I say run i mean jog at a mild pace. But yeah, at least I got it in.
And congrats! ten pounds is a lot!
Not gonna eat today? That's not the way to keep a steady burn going. You have to feed the engine to keep it running.
I just didn't feel like eating for whatever reason. I'll make up for it tomorrow. Party time.
Zelda II usually takes a lot of flak, but I always had a soft spot for it. That's my brother's favorite Zelda game actually. What website do you play those games on?
Used to be nintendo8.com, now it's 8bbit.
Not a big fan of Zelda 2, myself. And don't forget to eat!
I wasn't when I rented it for GBA at Blockbuster a long time ago either. But I didn't know you could keep certain achievements even after being knocked back to Princess Zelda, which I think makes it more tolerable than what I thought. I thought you had to beat it in one go!
I think I'd appreciate it more if I could play it now and have a guide. I don't like games with hints that are too cryptic when there's a big world map to explore.
Have Zelda II on 3DS, died a bunch but I enjoyed it.
I don't enjoy dying a bunch. Kind of colored my impressions. lol
i did a fat man's jog, as I call it, today. It's like jogging, but very slow. It's just one small step for me, one giant leap closer to a true work out.
I'll play that Zelda sometime soon, I think. Oh yeah.
Actually,I'd say "fat man's jog" is a good way to describe our "runs." My friend Ryan is actually training for the Boston Marathon, runs like 18 miles on some days (he posts his Nike Fuel points on Facebook) and says to train much slower than you'd actually run to avoid injury etc. You have to run eventually, but if even he says to slow it down most of the time, I believe him. I guess.
You can play it on 8bbit.com
Now I have an issue with my knee cap. I think I cracked it or something 'cause it's still tender after several weeks. I smacked it soundly on the sidewalk during one of our ice storms. No running for me until I have it checked out.
That's smart.
I did some speed walking tonight. Felt good. My knee's fine in action, it's just still sensitive to the touch. I think I should have it looked at anyway.
