No One Said It Would Be Easy

So, after a bit of deliberation and talking to a local friend, I decided to sell my car. I just can't afford to get the driver's seat, battery, tires, liscence, tags, registration and insurance for it right now, and he needs it a bit more than I do. I'm fine with the bus and bumming rides from people, anyway, and I'd rather it be useful in its last days than to sit there collecting dust. I feel pretty good about the whole thing, especially since the car's future owner agreed to let me learn to drive on it and use it if I needed to after I got my liscence. I can probably buy it back from him later, too. Good thing. :)
I'm one huge step closer to completing my Changeling collection! :D "The Book of Lost Dreams" is a pretty rare book that came out in the very early, heady days of the game; it was one of those books that came with a Storyteller's screen. I've picked it up along with "The Shadow Court" for selling on eBay. The last one went for about $41 (a far cry from the near $200 tag it carried about a year or two ago), but I'm pretty sure if I advertise it right I can do better than that.
Went to see "Hellboy" last night; it was...OK. I didn't go in expecting much, so I didn't get much, but I expected more out of a movie with the chops to cast Ron Perlman as the title character, and the always enjoyable David Hyde Pierce who never got enough screen time. Bleh. Oh well, at least there was popcorn. :)
Had dinner with the folks at the Bookshop, too. Took Hethe and Prismo along, and all was well. It was fun, even if I did get that odd sense of melancholy that I always get with groups these days. It turns out that no matter how much I've been changing recently, I always surprise myself with just how solitary I am. Try as I might, I just don't *like* big groups of people. I'm heading back into my wallflower phase.
This has been a near-perfect Easter Sunday. Haven't really done much; watched Roddick beat Bjorkman on ESPN2, a few cartoons, went out and grabbed Taco Bell with Jessie and Aubrin, and have been kind of bumming around all day. I've been playing cribbage too, trying to build my chops so I can enter the next cribbage tournament on FM. One preliminary round exit is bad enough, but two in a row is...bugging me. I *know* I'm better than that, to win at least *one* game in that damned league. <:) This I swear, it shall be so! Getting ready to write a game summary for Odis' game. Last Friday was very slow but mood-heavy, and while I could totally get into it I don't think Nikon enjoyed it very much. Might be we're getting way out of familiar territory, or that he had gotten very little sleep before hand, but either way, it was...different not having everyone on board and totally invested in it. Next game should be better. Beyond that, not much planned except reading, writing and some spirity mammajamma stuff with other folk this evening. More slack for me. :)
