Gamers + Wishcraft + iGTD + Shakespeare (or: an update on tait's life)
Just played rosalyn_angel's tabletop RPG tonight with jameson9101322 and Maura. Twas very fun. I died four times in the last battle alone--I think it's pretty safe to say I died the most out of the three of us. ^_^ I was the one most worried about dying, but oddly, it was jameson9101322's death and possible permanent death that frightened me the most. Why? Because she was the party's healer. If she died and stayed dead, death for me might actually be permanent too.
It was a fun game. Some quotes (from jameson9101322, who was the healer and white mage):
- When seeking information on Missing NPC: "Are there any pratfalls that he probably prat-fell into?"
- When the party was attacked by said NPC's ghost: "If I cast Cure on him can I fix his deadness?"
Yeah. It was a riot. ^_^
In other news, I've been reading Barbara Sher's book Wishcraft and am finishing up the last exercise in part 2 (of 4). This book, paired with iGTD (a Getting Things Done program for the Mac), is helping me sort though my life enough to feel productive every day without getting overwhelmed. landline000's been really helpful on the GTD front--it's like I get pearls without having to pry open clams. Nice, huh?
I met with my Shakespeare teacher on Sunday. He's a nice guy, and while much of my work will be front-loaded, I think, the class will work out well if I stay focused and get the readings and movie watchings done in a timely fashion. I'm not nervous yet--just excited. We're going to be doing some controversial plays, one of which I picked just because it makes me angry/upset inside: Othello. But yeah--it'll be mucho fun. ^_^
rosalyn_angel is showing me Avatar: The Last Airbender (Yay finally getting to watch it!). We're on episode 9/20 of Book 1/3. So, episode 9/60. It'll be an adventure! ^_^
I got a letter from Eliana at Iowa, and am writing two letters to people who will know who they are when the letters arrive. Am also writing a holidaysmut story for National Loneliness Day...but I fear that story is running from drabble base camp and up the mountain of length something fierce. I might just keep reading the comm archives and write for another challenge that doesn't want to grow too long, and save the pixie story for later.
And now...I should get to writing Jinx some more. I have been a bad, bad writer. >_>
