Ookings of d00m

So, it is the first of February. A new beginning!

Thus far, I have;

• Been woken up by the pager (nothing serious or time consuming)


• Had no voice when I responded to the page (but some water cleared that up)


• Had a tub of old soy flour dive for my groin from the top shelf when I opened a cupboard to look for spices, covering my only clean pair of jeans.


• Had my webhost fall entirely off the net for a while (it came back, and now I am backing up the data files for my wiki)

February, are you fucking with me?

Seriously, what is wrong with people?

Someone has been going to houses with Liberal signs on the lawns, spray-painting graffiti, defacing cars, and cutting brake lines.

My personal pet theory is that it's some teenaged psychopath with rich conservative parents. I doubt we'll ever find out who's responsible.

ACUS is coming up, and I've been following a lot of the press about the upcoming D&D 4th edition (more on that later). All of this means that I'm thinking about RPGs and how they work, and wanting to run a game or two.

( Nerdy rambling about designing roleplaying games )

I woke up, went to the bathroom, shaved, and then realised what time it was. What the hell? I'm going back to bed for another couple hours. Screw you, internal clock.


ETA: And, of course, I then overslept, and am now 30+ min behind. Oy.

Back from Kingston.

Back much worse - off to take more robaxacet. WTF.

Many comic books to read. Also, scotch.

Worst. FetMasq. Ever.

Maybe I just had my expectations unrealistically by TOKink. But that was fucking absurd. Overcrowded and overloud, with tourists and idiots standing around chatting in the middle of the play space. I've been before and it wasn't quite that bad. We tried to play, and I couldn't get enough space to swing my arm, let alone a flogger. People posing on the equipment. Someone walked in between me and my partner, providing commentary while interfering.

We left after having been there less than an hour, including the short time dancing. I had dressed to play, so dancing didn't work out that well.

What a fucking total waste of time.

Maybe its just when we got there. Maybe it's just that it's the long weekend. Regardless, I was disappointed.
