Clawbits
I feel like I should post, but like most people right now, there really isn't all that much to post about. So, I'll see how many clawbits I can write.
- I did mention a couple of posts ago that my car payments are finished in May, and today I got the first invitation to the Toyota Upgrade Event! Very exclusive! Invite-only! Only the BEST customers get invited! Sure. Thanks, but I think I'll enjoy a life of no car payments for a little while.
- Work is still good, if frustrating sometimes. A couple of big projects just got put on hold due to office politics, but, hey, trying to let it roll off my back. I'll work on whatever they want me to, so long as they keep paying me.
- Reading Dread Nation by Justina Ireland right now, and although I'm enjoying it, I'm still finding it difficult to carve out the time to read. I don't quite get it -- I like reading. But whenever I find myself with an hour or so with no plans, I just sit in front of the computer (again) or the television, or even when I sit elsewhere with my book, I still spend half the time on my phone instead, just playing stupid games. I just don't have much focus right now. Can't imagine why.
- I have a weekend of gaming coming up, and it's exciting because I'm not running all of it! I'm playing in a 5e game on Friday night, and a Star Trek game on Saturday night, and I'm running my weekly 4e game on Sunday. So it should be lots of fun that won't burn me completely out! I've run three games in three days before, and I have learned the hard way that I shouldn't do that. I love running games, but it's work, and it's tiring, and holy crap does a whole weekend of running them take it out of me. I'm very much looking forward to Friday and Saturday as a player.
- Speaking of which, my other 4e game, my boys, have finished the module E2: The Kingdom of the Ghouls, and I am on my break between modules. They are 25th level and about to start E3: Prince of Undeath, and the very last module of the published adventure arc. We've been playing for a little over six years now. It'll be seven in the summer. And this one last one will likely take another year or so, I think. And then they'll have gone from level 1 to level 30. It's really short on plot; I tend to prefer more story, but the boys are all about the war game aspect, and that's a valid source of fun, too. I'm enjoying it (if I weren't, I wouldn't have run it for six plus years). Anyway. An exciting final chapter!
