No Bus

For my health, I'm supposed to take a half hour walk every day. With the parking situation at work (2000 people, 1500 parking spaces), lately I've been doing it mostly after getting to work, which means walking an annoying route next to a busy street and crossing at crosswalks. I hate crosswalks, but jaywalking would be suicide, and I hate suicide more.

So today I finished my shower early enough that I sort of almost had time to walk in the neighborhood near my house before leaving for work. And, what the hell -- I could take the bus! The 253 goes right from my apartment to work and back.

But when I got back after walking, I realized that (a) I was early enough to drive to work and get there around 10ish, which is early enough to get a space, and (b) the next bus was in 25 minutes, and with travel time I'd end up getting to work around 10:40.

So, no bus for me. What's up with 'every half hour during peak times', anyway?

Death to the Jawless!

I finished KotOR, finally... the final level was really hard -- neverending (or at least, seemingly neverending) waves of assorted bad guys, the last five or six of which had to be fought without the force since constant combat == no FP regen.

Then the Boss Fight of Doom, where I faced the enemy alone, and was a lot less powerful than him, AND he could completely heal himself 10 times (although you can stop that). Finally, he ran out of force, though...

It was a difficult battle, but not really epic. I don't remember ever seeing the jedis in the movies shooting up on five different kinds of drugs, then chugging medpacks like candy... or finishing off the badguy by force-pushing him fifteen times until he finally fell over.

And now for something completely different!
