So I guess I've been too busy to post again. I've decided, though, that this is in fact a good thing. Busy Bens are Bens getting things done.

Saturday -- almost two weeks ago now -- radiantbaby and I met S (names elided to protect the guilty). M and R dragged us (kicking and screaming, naturally) to meet him and friends for Dr Who and homemade pizza. Both ( Read more... )

Last time I posted was from New Jersey, visiting my father for Thanksgiving. It's been so long that prior to today I'd not even seen the new LJ Update page that some of my friends have been bitching about. Contrary to what my silence since then may have implied, I have not died, nor have I been hiding under a rock. I have been really crazy busy.

They seem to be doing well. The weekend was basically relaxing, though I was a bit sad that I didn't feel comfortable calling my father for Thanksgiving in ( Read more... )

myndsweep just told me she thinks the old game Lemmings is available for my toy. If I find this to be so, I may become difficult to reach for a little while *evilgrin*

...so I'm looking at old Vampire books in preparation for running a game. It's been a *long* time since I've done anything *close* to GMing, so I'm taking it easy a little by leaning heavily on one of the old published city books for the setting. I just need to decide which one. The setting in Milwaukee actually seems really good, but it's got some ( Read more... )

I am reminded of why it is that I so rarely play Warcraft: I really suck at RTS.

I'm feeling creative: I'm off to paint minis.
