E3 burnout
Tuesday, July 15, 2008 by Amber
Gamer's paradise E3 is underway right now -- why then can't I get myself excited about it?
Perhaps it's the lack of interesting E3 stories coming out of the conference, or maybe I'm just on video-game burnout. There's only so much Lego Star Wars and Lego Indy action I can take before my eyes glaze over, and my house has been kiddo central for the past week.
Hopefully ComicCon, set to open later this month, will have a few more fun tidbits I can share.
Instead, I offer up a fun Internet quiz on Doshas that I came across on Lime.com. According to the site...
'Ayurveda, from the ancient Indian language Sanskrit, literally means 'Knowledge of Life.' Ayurveda is the practice of maintaining health and healing sickness with lifestyle modifications and natural remedies. The Ayurvedic approach names three basic energies or doshas that exist in all of us: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Each person is said to be a unique combination of these three doshas, and each dosha has a specific function in the body. According to Ayurveda, we are most healthy when our doshas are balanced.'
I'm a Pitta/Kapha, mix, BTW.
Anyways, just a morsel of knowledge to fill your mind up while waiting for Microsoft to announce a Netflix deal or news that would be similarly exciting. I'll keep you posted.
