What's happening in your world?

These beings are rather annoyed now. They woke up at 0500 and couldn't fall asleep again...

This being wakes up at 0600 everyday and is annoyed, but has to get up and go to work anyway

Valarya - Oregon is lovely. I used to go up the coast (from California) every summer with my family, camping along the coast.

As for computer games, I'm still resisting mightily. I've winnowed my online chess, Scrabble, and crossword puzzles to a few minutes a day, and I have removed the link to the on-line Tetris and Jewelbox, which used to be my addictions for getting into an altered zone. (Actually, the 4-dimensional version of Tetris called FRAC-4D used to suck up hours of my time, but I'm currently in remission). And I haven't played a world-building game in years. I'd much rather get immersed in a book and build my own fantasy adventures with the characters when "off-line". I suppose it's just trading one attraction to my time for another.
