Been watching a lot of Burn Notice recently. It's a really damn good show. I love the premise of a guy who used to be an international covert operative who's suddenly blacklisted, and forced to make his way doing private operations while trying to figure out who burned him. Makes me want to run a Spycraft campaign with that setup-- a small campaign ( Read more... )

Yesterday I played in Jared's Spycraft mod, Malpractice. I enjoyed playing it, and I enjoyed the story he came up with-- I like it when the twists and turns genuinely surprise me, and he put us through something I've never done before in Spycraft. He runs a lot more rules-heavy than I like, but his logic is if he learns how to adjudicate things ( Read more... )

I browsed around the Fair Trade Fair in the campus center yesterday, and bought a pretty square woven basket-- patially out of a desire to support the artisans, and partially because I've been wanting a nice basket to use as a serving dish. Maybe I'll lay a nice napkin inside it and use it for my upcoming artichoke fritters.

Today I ran Spycraft ( Read more... )

Jared ran his original Spycraft mod Malpractice, the first in a series of original mods, yesterday for a small test group consisting of Matt, Emma, Taylor, and Ryan. He's been working on it for a long time and has been very eager to get it done. It sounds as if it went well, though not exactly as he planned. Heh, I know that feeling, probably ( Read more... )

I just wrote half of a Spycraft mod. It's probably not any good, and it's not exactly original, and there's probably too much socialness and subtlety for most of the players in the group, but it's a new mod. Maybe I'll be able to finish and run it soon.

Today will probably be a lazy day. I got up late because of how obscenely late I stayed up the night before watching a movie with Jared and Bernie. Yesterday was Spycraft, in which Taylor ran a mod he'd written himself, and the movie Equilibrium had the character on which Bernie based his temporary shoot-'em-up Spycraft character. Not a bad flick, ( Read more... )

Happy Easter, everyone. Not a bad weekend at all this time around.

Friday after a leisurely lunch with Jared, I ran over to the Natick mall to wander around for a few hours. I'm not a big shopper or anything, but I enjoy walking around looking at things and letting my mind wander. I also like it when I can get in long walks without really thinking ( Read more... )

Glad Tuesday and Wednesday are over. This weekend should be nice from here on out. Though not as nice as I'd hoped it would be. My parents were supposed to come up to be with my brother and I on Easter, but stuff came up so that they can't make it. Now I'm a bit out of luck. I've never not had any way to celebrate Easter before, so I'm kind of ( Read more... )

Finally got through all the Empire materials and read my character sheet. I think I'm going to like her, she seems interesting and complex. I work very closely with another character, and I'm looking forward to finding out who plays him ( Read more... )

 Found my earring. :-) Thanks to everyone who cared enough about my trivial problem to ask me if I had.

Now I'm trying to figure out what to do with this weekend. My first concern is work; the first act of my screenplay is due this coming Tuesday. I need to have thirty pages and at the moment, I have less than ten. So this will take a huge chunk of ( Read more... )
