Having nothing to do with anything, except I felt like using the title. GSG rocks.
On that note, there's a Haibane Renmei box at the shop I'm desperately trying not to blow a bunch of money on because it's awesome. I might have a job soon, though, so we'll see. I should know RSN.
We're back in RBCiv Epic mode again, and Epic One is up here. Actual site linkage will follow when I get some energy, which may be never, at this rate.
To reprise something I said to Whir this morning, which was true in that time, just as it's true today: "We're sorry, the enthusiasm you have dialed is not in service at this time. Please insert caffeine, and try your enthusiasm again."
I blame winter. I seem to get tired ALL THE TIME during winter these days, whereas I'm pretty sure that in, say, HS, that sort of thing didn't happen. Then again, I was waking up at 6:30 all the time during HS, which amounts to the same thing, so who knows.
Speaking of winter, I went out to my car just now, and there's this GIANT patch of ice out on the driveway, because it rained like mad earlier and is freezing now, and I almost went skidding all the way down the hill. Good thing my car door was right there to grab on to, or I might be stuck in the trees cavorting with deer or something.
And speaking of THAT, as I was driving to CV earlier, I caught this deer in mid-leap over a fence, and I swear the thing went into MI2-style slow mo for a moment. I almost expected Tom Cruise to show up, but he didn't. He may still be caught in slow mo somewhere in Australia.
And speaking of Corvallis, and can you tell we're in stream of conciousness mode tonight, we finished up our first Iron Kingdoms game in D&D tonight. I think I like IK, if just because I get to play with guns. I was also starting to like my rogue/ranger, Akrath, too, but generally when I start getting attached to my characters, it's a sign that Rema's about to change the game on us. At least we all died this time, and in a particularly flashy fashion: We're in the main evil base, fighting the hordes of evil minions, and getting our asses whipped. So our CO whips out his accumulator (think magical battery here), overloads it, and it goes off, killing almost everyone within 15' (except him, IIRC, and me because I was bleeding to death OUTSIDE the 15' radius...).
Yeah, too bad we had a couple of boxes of explosives to blow the place up sitting right there. So the whole temple pretty much went sky high, and that was that. So next week's a new game of IK (1st level again, sigh), and I'm going to try being a sorc for once. I'm tired of rogues, rangers, and fighters for the moment. So we'll see how that goes.
Between that and getting CC2 Dioramas and Perspectives, not to mention all the CRPG playing I've done lately, I'm almost inspired to start running some D&D again. Only two problems with that. I don't really feel like sitting down and doing it, and I'm not sure I really want to run Tharavel. Because, now that I've finished with it, I'm not satisfied. Lots of things I want to do different. I think it's mostly that I like making random new stuff, really, because every time I finish something like that, I want something ELSE. Go figure.
I really want to go watch a movie. But nothing new. Fortunately Xmas is in a week, and we'll get a zillion new ones. Waitastic.
