You all may remember "V" the Miniseries event that could have arguably started it all, with blockbuster miniseries throughout the 1980s.  It came out on NBC in about 1984.

Apparently a follow-up novel by the creator came out a few weeks ago V the Second Generation which takes place 20 years later.  Based on the reviews, it sounds like this is a springboard for a miniseries of its own.

As many of you know, I'm a family physician.  I've been kicking around in my head about trying to pull together a free medical clinic for my area (rural South Carolina) for the uninsured and underinsured aimed primarily at those with chronic medical disorders - hypertension, diabetes, chronic lung disease.

The bug has really bitten me in the last few days and I've started pulling ideas together trying to see if I can get a proposal together for the powers that be - the local hospital, medical clinics, insurance companies, pharmacies and pharmaceutical companies.

Well, in my hunger to play something new, I picked up Disgaea 2. It is amusing and frustrating at the same time.

This is a true Japanese turn-based strategy RPG. I have played Final Fantasy XII (which I haven't completed, but will one day, DAMMIT!). I like the silliness of some of the cut scenes, but then I go into the "item world" and get my head handed to me. Most of my characters are between level 6-8, so I know I am still early in the game and now am in Chapter 3 of 13.

In a strange story, a box of medical records that was lost in-transit by UPS ended up being sold as scrap paper.

Kind of weird and definitely not the norm, but still a little worrisome.

The amount of paper generated by my practice daily is staggering and it all goes to the shred company.

Well, sleep well, folks.

I finished Uncharted: Drake's Fortune on Saturday night.

I think all told, I got around 200 points/1000 in the scoring system.  Keep in mind I was playing on "Easy" which was challenging enough for me.  I could have struggled through "Normal", or ground my thumbs to a pulp on "Hard", perhaps, but I am playing to enjoy the game, not to frustrate myself endlessly.

The quality of the game was great.  The visuals are stunning.  You can include GREEN in a palette choice, folks!  Something besides grey and brown.  Amazing!

Kind of an interesting idea.  Since I don't play a lot of online, I was curious what everyone thinks of this.
