Change of plans yet again

Spent the day playing Sims 2 and generally faffing. Sim-Molly and Sim-Remus have now graduated university (top of their classes and all), and are now married and living together in a reasonably nice house down the road from Skank and his family (Michelle and two kids, Geoff and Beep). Next time I faff about with Sims 2, I must remember to get their diplomas up on the wall. Then, of course, see if the Marwood-Fetish family decides they want to breed. That should be entertaining...

Also did some work on Wormwood and Chamomile. I'm hacking through that story slowly but surely. Still, it's going to need a rewrite desperately when it's finally done. And in the other room, dodgyhoodoo was working on some writing projects of his own. We are a writerly home.

Sunday turns out to be Beltane Bash somewhere in Holborn. Despite how badly Wicca-UK moot thing went last time, I'm really keen to give this another go. Mostly because, what with workshops and everything, they're going to have to do at least some actual discussion. Of course, I've been told that there are going to be a lot of teenagers with fairy wings at this thing, but I'm sure with enough perseverence, these creatures can be safely ignored or, at worst, talked at until their poor widdle heads explode. If all else fails, I can come home and adapt the "Spay your Catgirl" poster. Either way, if I do wind up enjoying it, I can go and see what Jon's Monday panel is like. Unfortunately, it's on the same time as the Heathenry panel so ... dilemma. Torn. Oh well. At least Sunday stands to be interesting, with something on making runic talismans followed by "Myths, Folklore, Magic and Fossils" and then the thing on "Egyptian Mysteries and Magic" later in the afternoon.

Wish they'd do something about the website, though. Some of that formatting is painful, and I wish they'd make up their minds how they're going to typeset a title. Eesh.

Still no word from anyone about Thursday. I suppose I should assume that's a "yes", since usually I don't get mail from ... well, anyone, really ... confirming much of anything until a day or two beforehand, if ever. So if I don't hear, I'll send an e-mail saying "Thursday 2nd June. Sourcebook Central 2.0. 7:30 at the latest. Let me know if there's a problem". I still need to think of an excuse for Alison bogging off the way she did, particularly since neither she nor Pietro were part of the alternate universe hoopla of the last 7th Sea session. I wonder if we're assuming that Pietro had his bloody duel and Alison stalked off somewhere in something of a huff. Probably to go shopping. I suppose it's too much to hope that she uncovered evil scheming or got herself abducted or something similar.

Leaders and Followers

You Are The Champion
"Don't worry, I got it."
You play as the Hero. You are the one who usually tries to take on the world for any cause you believe in. You are a natural leader in most circles and are not afraid to take that position if a situation calls for it. Others look to you for inspiration and praise you for your acheivements. Even though they love and adore you, however, you are left feeling alone or overwhelmed many times. You're almost always positive and keep your chin up despite any setbacks because you know that you will succeed in the end, no matter how long it takes.

Which Classic Story Role Do You Play?
brought to you by Quizilla

Excuse me while I *bwahahahahaha* in disbelief.

Been watching dodgyhoodoo play Silent Hill 2. I've been having a good time and been really helpful when I haven't been sitting around delivering colour commentary and the occasional "RRRRNN-ningningning" noises. (I still don't see why you can't use the chainsaw to get past obstacles like locked doors like you can in real life, but anyway.) Next step is probably me picking up the PS2 controller and playing it myownself. It's actually quite a good game, all things considered -- less focus on the shooting the weirdzo critters shambling around the place and a fair bit of focus on puzzle-solving. I like puzzle-solving. Still, I'm not really known for my video game prowess. Except Sims, and it's amazing how far finding the right object hacks and cheat codes will get you there.

I've been having such a good time watching Silent Hill 2 played out that I'm letting it slide that he's done nothing creative all day. I mean, after all, I haven't been particularly creative either. Though I must remember at some point in the next couple of days to post the Affils character sheet on House Molay and do some various other Affils-related bits. I am operating under the assumption that Thursday is still fine with everyone. I'll send a reminder e-mail to people on Tuesday, though, so they have the option of saying, "Oops; we double-booked ourselves" or some such chaos-inducing statements.

Ain't life grand?
