Steak?

.
.
Well, not so much steak as a small slab of beef meat. But that is what is for dinner. I have been marinating a number of them and will fry one up. I am exploring very small cuts of meat. These didn't look all that appetizing, thus marination. All of it is experimental. I do need to eat much more frequently and in much smaller amounts. We will see how this goes. Salami and cheese is back on the menu. I need to get the kitchen cleaned up again and make some chili, rice, and beans. If I do the beans first I won't need to clean the pot before doing chili. And if I make enough of a mix of beans, I can keep the canned beans for emergency 'starvation' episodes, or when I am far too tired to tinker.

My game system is finally shipping! It is coming from Arizona so I think it will be a rather short ride, Wednesday at the latest. I purchased extra controllers and plenty of games, along with a few extras. Since my computer broke, the only game I have been able to play is an old Duke Nukem game. Of which, by the way, I am an expert, plus. Some of the games I purchased were games that came out long ago but my computer, not the loaner but mine, couldn't play. Some of them are cheap now, very cheap. They are probably far better than any games I have ever played as for looks, environment, and controls (albeit with a stupid controller mostly). But to be honest? Games are games. There are few that have stood out. Doom, Duke Nukem, and a few others were favored, but more because there were few games like them when they came out. Now? Tons of games, new and old, all somewhat similar. War games, fps, sci-fi, role-playing, and some puzzle games are my favored. Actually, I don't play any other kind of game. I never liked strategy, usually there wasn't really a good way to win and it was always thin, plus I believed the computer usually cheated to it's advantage through knowledge or damage assessments. No, this should be fun! There might be others around town who play too. It would be cool to link up and have some co-op or other multi-player local gaming.

Yeah, I know. I need to get back into things. The medicines seem to be helping, even this shortly back into them. And something I didn't notice has returned. spironolactone was causing me to not function as males should. Odd, in spite of the warnings of many of the medicines I take, none of the others have that affect. I was also surprised that it took so long after not taking it for the effects to wear off. If you have seen Fight Club, you have to remember Bob, from the testicular cancer group? Oh yeah, I feared that. After I found out about spiro, and quit it, I kept checking my chest for about a week. Terrified something untoward (or would that be toward) might be happening. Nope. I can jog safely and swim without onlookers.

Has anyone else noticed how complicated even the simple things in life are? As my game machine is shipping, I am thinking about how to best set up my living room. The coffee table has to be adjusted. Some other things need to be rearranged too, I think. Lots to do. Everything I do for this will affect other things, causing a chain reaction of thoughts and questions concerning placements, aesthetics, function. I never seem able to get everything to work just right, fit right, and stay satisfied. And yet I am not into moving it all around as I know that still won't work. Now, remember, I am just talking about rearranging one room, with relatively few pieces of furniture, for ease of gameplay coupled with humble aesthetics. When it gets to the big things, like the whole house, or more when dealing with people? And, further, when considering God? Yes, complicated. More complicated than I will ever learn to... manage. I think we just survive life, until we don't. :p

Hmm, hungry. And best get my meds down.
