So how much is one piso?

While slipping quarters into the laundry machine I noticed one of the coins looked a little different. Turns out it's not a quarter but a piso. "Republika NG Pilipinas 1 piso" on one side, "Bangko sentral NG Pilipinas 1993" on the other side.

Taking a moment to look up the conversion... Well, according to Google one PHP is worth just under two cents. On the other hand it gives my collection of foreign coins one more member, so I'm not going to complain.

Being sick isn't fun

I'm afraid I may have a sinus infection. Ick. I hate those, even before you start taking medicine it saps away energy and makes you feel, not so much bad as blah. On the other hand I think I may be over the worst, in which case it probably isn't a sinus infection. Have to see how I feel tomorrow.

Just for additional giggles I got a nail in one of my tires. The shop was going to patch it, but when they looked closer the nail had damaged the sidewall so they are replacing it instead. Good news is that's covered under the warranty, so that tire doesn't cost me anything. Bad news is I still needed to replace two tires that I had damaged by driving on them when they were under inflated. Those did cost me. Cheap enough to pay for them out of checking, but ugh, I really didn't need that expense right now.

Want an angsty Eva type mecha RPG?

Just read an weblog entry about an RPG in development called Bliss Stage. Looks interesting. I don't think I would want to do a frequent and long campaign, but as an occasional change of flavor it could be fun.

Ah, here's an RPG.net post about Bliss Stage with a description of the setting.
