The Good Stuff

I've noticed a lot of things since joining this site a few months ago. The theme of this - shall we call it - discovery is, quite simply put, complaints.

A lot of people seem to complain about the little problems and hardly ever seem to celebrate the good stuff. No offense, really, I don't mind and I shalln't try to belittle anyones ambitions if I can help it, but I thought I'd make this thread in order to counterpoint this whole issue with the focal points.

It's somewhat important to me that you know, I'm not trying to come off as an arrogant, self centered idiot here all the while that COULD be the interpretation...

Brass tax: What happened in your game development, that you enjoy? Did something good happen in life lately? Anything goes really as long as it's not "njaah njaaah njaaah, I'm no good at this board game"

I'll go first, shall I?

It'd seem the slipped disc in my lower back is finally starting to heal up completely. Before long I suppose I could finally go skate and climb trees and whatnot again.
Closing in on my temporary goal in chess - being able to play an even game with my friend and chess coach Alex instead of just getting slaughtered and watching him yawn - IS a factor.
Things with my girl are running smooth and mellow as usual. She's so good to me and she even plays a little bit since 6 months ago (;D).

Lots more, but hey... Your turn :)

Okay, I'll go first. I set up this "simultaneous" tournament in Chessmaster GM Edition, and played against 31 opponents as black. Granted, these were all rather weak profiles, but I won all 31 games! Took me about 90 minutes to beat them all. I suppose I should now set up a stronger group and attempt the same...
