Matthew's Journal

Friday was a fairly unproductive day at ork. Evening was acr33's birthday do, which had a suprise appearance from meirion, which was good. There was an iffy curry, which took ages and ages to appear, but the company was good, and conversation flowed. I don't see much of Angela these days, so it was good to catch up.

Saturday was shopping, dishwasher installation (that was somewhat tricky, but claroscuro, senji and I managed in the end), and the CTS Foreyule Feast. They seemed somewhat disorganised (so dinner didn't get served until 9ish), and had dramatically over-catered (which is odd, given they'd turned people away). Still, we have plenty of meat to eat now :) A good evening, though.

Yesterday was an at-home day, partly because I needed sleep, and partly because the weather was so damned poor. I added {free,cd}db support to mcdp (in preparation for making it play nicely with ewx-Jukebox), and made dinner.


Boldor and Ulfast are the most recently killed uniques. I decided that the ring of dex (+3) wasn't actually doing much good, so now have two +10 rings of protection. I'm currently using the dagger "Dethanc", mostly 'cos it has shiny-value; I'm not sure the lightning-brand attack actually gains me anything over my previous enchanted whip.

Current irritations:

• blue icky things - blind, confuse and *muplitply*. bah.
  
• gelatinous cubes - move fast, resist all my attacks except magic missile and can't even be slept/confused.
  
• dark hounds - blind me too much
  

I really need blindness and confusion resistance. Still, doing quite well score-wise:
