A while back I had posted that I would play Theme Hospital, and I have been. It has brought back all sorts of memories from the good ol’ days. Working my way up form a simple clinic, I now manage hospitals with 5 or 6 buildings! Though, oddly they all seem to be only single story. And when a machine breaks down, it blows up, making the whole room unusable! If an epidemic breaks out, you just find the sick people and spray’em down with a vaccine. Only if the swine flu were so easy to deal with. Rats running rampant, VIPs strolling through for a visit, and radiators galore!

When it was new, this game was a top of the line simulation/strategy game. These days, it’s simple fun. Jokes and silliness are spread liberally across the game, yet you still have to be sure you are making money. If you see a copy of Theme Hospital laying around somewhere, pick it up and give it a try!

In Lake Oswego I’ll be right by PCC, have a shorter commute than Beaverton, be closer to Portland, and have a small gym within walking distance.  Sadly the apartments are on a hill so I can’t go street running, and there aren’t any shops within walking distance.  So I’ll be driving everywhere.  But still I think they’re the best I’ve found, at least for 6 months.  I can always move further into Portland after that.

Keeping up on my Willamette Week, looking for cool things to do.  Let me know if you find anything, I’ll start trying to discuss what I find/do.  I’ve been playing Theme Hospital too!  It’s pretty fun!
