So only OWBN this past weekend, and it was disappointing as all hell. I accomplished about nothing. I'm pretty sure I'm taking a break from that game for a while. Maybe for good. That still remains to be seen. But there's just not much holding me there anymore. Most of my really good friends have quit playing, and though I am friends with some of the people who still play, that's not even enough to keep me there. The game itself is pretty much uneventful, unless you're a big time fighter, and, well, if I just wanted to do combat, we'd do more Battle Royales.

So yeah. Disappointing, but ah well.

Had a good time last night talking to Ventura about old TT games, and, of course, I really miss running Vampire now. True, I've got a LARP to help run, but there's something special about TT. :(

Plenty of work to do for the Cammie LARP, but I need Jim's help to finish it, so hopefully I'll hear from him soonishly about his work schedule. Probably won't know anything till I get off work today, but that's okay. My schedule this week is pretty well open... got plans tomorrow night, but if we have to have our ST meeting then, it will actually work, because my plans are of a somewhat tag-along nature, though not, at the same time. It's complicated. :)

Well, only the OWBN game this past weekend, but it was a doozy. Mel spent most of the night trying to deflect Vermin's affections. Then she had the brilliant plan of asking G-Lo to see if he could find Christian as a wraith... and then all hell broke loose in her unlife... because apparently G-Lo thinks he found him... and Christian's wraith might now be coming to find Mel... joy...

Well, I guess it's something to do. Since stepping down as Prince, Mel's unlife has been entirely too tame... ;)

Working on the first set of in-weeks for the Cammie game since becoming an ST, and they're going relatively smoothly. There's a considerable amount that I need Jim's help with, though, so here's hoping he's free either tomorrow or Thursday night... planning to find that out tonight, though, and get some info from him if he doesn't have a free night this week. So we should be mostly good.

Still don't know what happened to my post from Friday... that's driving me nuts...

Got one crochet project done last night, and another one started. The finished project is kinda a sekrit surprise, so no details here. The other one I started is the Jayne hat, from Firefly. I'm not 100% pleased with the pattern I'm using, so I'll be looking for a new one, but it is turning out decently well. Of course, the original is a knitted hat with earflaps, and mine will be crocheted, but it'll work out okay, I think. Especially if I can find the right kind of pattern. Or I may be able to work up my own, based on the one I'm using presently.

I need to work on making some more Valentines for the craft fair, which I may do tonight, if I have some time. Supposed to be going to an OWBN workshop at Denny's, but my car wouldn't start this morning. I'm hoping it was just the cold affecting the battery, and that it'll start fine after work today. If not, I guess I'll be trying to find a way to get it over to the dealership in the morning, and let them tell me if it's the battery (my best guess) or the starter (god I hope not). At any rate, thank goodness for being under warranty... :)

Speaking of Valentines, yeah, I'm gonna hafta work on something else for that... I just don't have any good ideas at the moment. What do you give someone for Valentine's Day that is a little bit practical, but still handmade? If I can't come up with something fitting both of those criteria, I'm gonna go with practical but store-bought, because there is a limit to how many ultimately useless handmade objects you can give someone. Yeah, I know, the handmade stuff comes from the heart and all that, but seriously. I know there is a limit. :)

Hmmmm... something to ponder for a bit, I suppose...

Well, only OWBN this past weekend, and it was formal Elysium. Mel ended up dropping $300,000 on two items, but as that was money that the Giovanni had given her, it wasn't too bad. She also handed off some money to Moonbeam, I think another $100,000, because Moonbeam was bidding heavily on the Oreos. Which she won. :)

Year old Oreos. $10,000. That's what you get when the Toreador auctioneer says he MIGHT throw in a kiss... :)

Unfortunately, rushing before game and miscommunication caused some difficulties, but don't they always? The good news is that it got mostly sorted out, and now I just need to make sure that the STs get a write-up on the whole Elysium security thing and S.U.K.E. Never thought I'd appreciate something that Mel's damn childe did for her, but I do... :)

In other gaming news, I've been vaguely pondering running a girls only D&D game, running it at the same time J runs his boys only D&D game. Granted, this started out as kind of a joke, but if there's enough interest, I might do it... would be a bit of work, though, as I don't really know 3rd ed all that well... so we'll have to see about that.

I'm not surprised that I'm really liking this whole only two local LARPs thing, with a third that runs every other month. I think I mentioned before that I had gotten up to six LARPs briefly. That was insanity. I'll probably want more in a bit, but for now, 2 (1/2) is good. :)

And in other other news, I should be in a better mood than I am in at the moment. Life is good, the sun is shining, and I finally got the Lincoln book completed to the point where I could send it to the other editor. I'm just grumpy for no apparent reason. I'm sure I'll get over it. :)

Busy at work today, but folding 400 pieces of paper into envelope size is tedious, at best, and rough on the fingers. So I'm taking a break. :)

Cammie game on Saturday night, which was good stuff. We're slowly but surely working our way through one of the plots, which necessitates a major combat every game. This isn't all bad, as we're getting somewhere with the plot. 3 down, 3 to go. I suspect two of the remaining three will be insanely hard. This last one was no cake walk. But we'll figure something out. We always do, even if it is "fuckin' anorexic," like the plan for #2. :)

OSBN was Sunday night, and though we had to wrap early, it was still good times. Read some tarot cards for a few people, and decided that the magic 8 ball either works for the Sabbat, lies, or is broken. :) Still haven't managed to get Dani re-Acknowledged, but she got adopted by the Malkavians, so it shouldn't be too difficult. That, and she is really and truly Cam, she's just cranky about it sometimes. Oh, and there was MUCH madness with the D situation, but hey, whatcha gonna do... we're operating on ancient false history at this point, but it's hard to get over it... for both of us, in our own ways... :) Traveller (Jim) and I had a nice little heart to heart, after he tried to take away my straw, which somehow had shaped itself into a D... ;)

Anyways, yeah, lotsa work to do for real work, and an Elysium for OWBN on Friday. I'm finally in a position where I don't have to plan anything IC, but I'm helping Jim with a project OOC, which I need to get done ASAP. Probably tomorrow. That should do. :)

Well, let's see here... game recap...

Friday night was OWBN, and Mel stepped down as Prince. And the weight off of my shoulders and hers was IMMENSE. It was wonderful. :) And then I got to have a fun, scandalous scene with G-Lo (Angelo Giovanni, to those who aren't his close personal friends)... and another fun, scandalous (though in a totally different way) scene with Vermin. ;) Mel's unlife is going to be interesting now, I think... :) But at least she got rid of the target before it got the best of her... :)

Saturday night was the final game for Where Angels Fear to Tread, and it was a good time. Combat heavy, but there was a lot of fun stuff too, like running around in Horrid Form and having a race to see who could Embrace the most people in five minutes... :) It's sad to see the game go, to a certain extent, but, at the same time, it had been so long since we had gotten anything accomplished in that game, it was really fairly disappointing... we just couldn't win... (except then we did... odd, that...)

This weekend, there's Cammie game on Saturday, and Old School on Sunday. Definitely looking forward to both of those... :)

I realized yesterday, while sitting at home, that I had made a Monday post on Tuesday. So that, combined with not posting yesterday, gives me the strange urge to just post something random today.

Only I don't know what.

Meh, we'll just post a few things...

::..::

Started a new OWBN character on Sunday, in Paducah. I just couldn't bring myself to play Mel down there... I wanted something new to do. So I made a Nos, and that was definitely a change of pace. Go from being Prince of a neighboring Domain to being low woman on the totem pole. I got a couple of roleplaying noms because people suddenly realized that I can roleplay (not that I was sick, thankyouwhoeversaidthat... grrr...)! :) Swear to god, I'm not really as bitchy as Mel usually seems, though I suppose she's a lot closer to Dawn than Concordia (my new Nos) is.

Anyways, need to write her background ASAP, so I can get released from the Accounting... :)

::..::

I changed my mind about my brilliant music day plan for this year. Ah well.

At the moment, I'm trying to weed out my CD collection. So far, not making much progress on that... I've pulled one CD to get rid of. I may have another handful to get rid of when I seriously look at the ones I have here at work... :) But we'll have to see... :) Oh, that reminds me, I need to make a copy of No! for my niece... :)

::..::

My mom got me a HUGE box of yarn for Christmas. This means I have more yarn than I know what to do with (yes, that is possible)... I have a few small projects to work on though... another washcloth to finish, a new hat to match my new scarf, and armwarmers for me, and then a few scarves which I will probably sell... and I need to work on some roses for the Valentine's Day craft fair...

Of course, the majority of those things come from yarn that I already had in my yarn stash, not the new box of yarn... *sigh*...

And in other news, sinuses are the devil.
