almost daylight saving time again
Being this tired on a Saturday is distinctly unpleasant. I want to do things! I want to be energetic and see people! But no, I just want to nap.
Having spent all of my work week in meetings (there was one day where I literally was in solid meetings from 9:30 to 11:30am and 1pm to 4:45 and I arrive at 9, lunch noon to one, and leave at 5) I have had very little brain for anything else except playing Puzzle and Dragon Z: Super Mario Bros. which is really fucking hard?? I am grinding like whoa to try to get awakening materials or XP materials so I can clear the final boss and wow that's a lot of nope so I guess I'm just gonna store up some more extra lives and beat myself bloody on that brick wall.
In other gaming news I played Pendragon Rising last night, which is a short (took me ~30-45 minutes) interactive fiction game about Arthur (or Arta, if you choose to play as a lady) rising to become Pendragon. It stops before all the messy bits of the Arthurian legend, but it was sort of fun to play. I remain the most diplomatic and also fucking awful at battles.
Today paladin and I participated in a playtest for a new LARP system, which was cool and interesting but because I was so tired and out of it I was having difficulty fully participating (it also didn't help that fully 50% of the times I tried to use my fancy powers I just outright failed and burned through all my mana-equivalent, which was super frustrating, though not anything the STs could do anything about, just shitty luck on my part.) I did have fun, though.
Husband and I went out for dinner at Cheesecake Factory and then did our grocery shopping, and now I am home with laundry and the dishwasher going and while the house is not up to the standard I would like it to be, all the dishes are clean and the bedroom and living rooms are reasonably decluttered. (The real mess is the office, specifically my desk, and this is sort of like saying that water is wet, ice is cold, and the sun rises in the East.) However, I don't have any fucks to give to clean my desk right now, so instead I'm flopped here contemplating which video game I would like to play. NOt a bad way to spend my Saturday night.
I'm thinking about doing Camp NaNoWriMo and setting myself an editing goal (30 hours, which according to the translation wiki means I would set myself a goal of 30K words) because there are so many things I need to work on and I really do love the collective energy of a NaNo event, even if I am getting progressively more frustrated with other aspects of NaNo proper. If I am still feeling enthused about this by the end of next week, I shall sign up and we'll see how it goes.
And now, time to go spam GoodReads with reviews of all the stuff I've read in the last few weeks.
