ORIGINAL: Cap Mandrake Remember how I was asking about resource points and supply in Manila? Well, that's not what I am asking about now. I have a question about Cosmopolitan magazine. So here is the deal. Everytime Stalker Girl buys a new copy of Cosmo, I know she is going to try some experiment...and I don't mean a trial of a new lipid-lowering drug either. So, anyway, I get the AE turn in the email at work that includes the big fight at Timor. I can read the text file but I can't look at the game turn yet (if I had AE at work I would crash something AND not be able to get any work done). So I have to pick up the Mayan housekeeper after work and, as ususal, she is on Mayan time, which, as far as I can tell, is really good at predicting the Winter Solstice and that kind of thing but seriously deficient on the hour and minute thing. So, naturally, she is late, so that ticks me off a bit. Anyway, where was I..ah yes.. so I am listening to National Peoples Radio on the way home and, of course, that ticks me off a bit too, so I turn it off and try to listen to the Cubansimo CD, but I have heard it 18 times and it is Spanish anyway so I turn it off and try to have a converstion with the Mayan housekeeper in a combination of Mayan-Spanish medley and Spanglish. She tells me again it was a mistake to marry Stalker Girl but I can tell she has softened her stance somewhat. None if this is really front and center because all I really want to do is see what happened to Chicago and Pensacola and where the Japs are going to land in New Scotland. When I get home I have to feed and walk the four-legged friends and help help cook dinner and clean up...but while I am loading the dishwasher I spy a new copy of Cosmo with an article on "Twenty secret spots" or something like that . I try to slink off to the office to fire up AE...it's already like 8:30..my bedtime is like 9:30 and by 10:00 I will be drooling on the keyboard so I am trying to type really quietly as I enter the turn password. And then I hear from upstairs...."Cap, are you coming upstairs???" So, finally, here is the question. How do you guys balance AE and the rest of your lives? Well in my house the computer is upstairs and the bedroom downstairs...... However, in this instance I think I would hit the computer shutdown button and head to the bedroom....
