Between working on a Diablo III preview and problems caused by buggy beta video drivers for the BF3 beta, I was already off to a late start today. Then MrsBlue, who is home from work today, decided to call the doctor to inquire about flu shots and announced we needed to immediately head off to get them, because they could fit us in this morning. This has thrown me off completely, so apologies for the extra-late update, but on the bright side, this whole fiasco may prevent the lateness of future updates that might have been impacted by the flu. How's that for looking on the bright side? At least I got the good nurse, while she was stuck with (and by, for that matter) the helmet-haired nurse that I call "the butcher" for the bruises she tends to leave with the needle.
