I need to learn that even if things get marginally out of my control, it's not the end of the world. Sometimes situations really are perfectly innocent. Murphy's Law is not always in play. So breathe, self. Breathe.

I'm also discovering I'm a lot happier when I ignore Plurk's existence. So, yay?



Anyway.

I have about thirty tags in my inbox I should be doing! But I spent a good part of the day cleaning and forcing my knee up and down flights of stairs.

Clearly that means it's time for video games.

Liveplay! Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII.

I try to go down a corridor.

Zack stops and turns toward an open door and an adjacent room. "I think he went that way!"

Hollander's panting behind a door.

He sees Zack and runs out.

ZACK CAN'T KEEP UP WITH HIM.

Zack: SOLDIER 1st Class.

Hollander: Middle-aged, out of shape scientist.

Just think about that for a second.

"Hollander! There's no escape!"

You could have tackled him, Zack.

At any point you wanted to.

You could have even grabbed his arm or ran in front of him and blocked his path.

I guess you haven't figured it out since Kunsel never explained the "chasing down fleeing scientists" part of SOLDIER.
