You know, the fact that so many people thought I had gone completely off my rocker for Rabbit Hole Day yesterday tells me I did my job somewhat properly, and there's no small amount of pride associated with that. :)
I had a lot of fun with the entries yesterday, and I only wish I had been able to write more. It was the first time in forever where I really imagined what something like that would be like. It was a tremendous exercise that I should really try more often. The world needs more people who take regular flights of fancy!
The landscape of my RPG life has taken a couple of drastic turns. One of our regular troupe-mates, Jim Darkwolf, has suffered an ill-timed car explosion and has to drop out. This really takes the piss out of Cy's game and Odis' upcoming bucket-o-strangeness. Unfortunately, both of those guys have had to scramble to make up for the loss (which is actually tremendous; Jim has proven himself as a bona-fide awesome gamer, and I'm going to miss playing with him).
Anyway, long story short, Cy is joining Odis' Sunday game-o-fun and Cy, I think, is putting his game on temporary hiatus until Jim's return. I'm going to miss playing Dan the Ubernice Werebear, but he'll live on in![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
smileydanq. And, with NaPoeWriMo coming to a close in a few days, will pick right up with a revised format. I'm going to talk to Cy to see if I can make it relatively open and public, like Sythyry's journal, but without real-time game consequences. That's the problem with the World of Darkness; you really can't be nice and friendly because there's always someone waiting in those mascara shadows to rape you for it.
My game is going right along; because of Cy's work situation he's had to drop out. On one hand, I've lost a damned good player; on the other hand, I get to spaz to someone about everything that's going on, finally. I'm really proud of the work I've been doing, and it feels good to share it with someone who knows it from the other side of the screen.
Let's see. For some reason the bookkeeper for the Bookshop hasn't delivered the W2s yet, so I haven't been able to file taxes yet. This is fairly annoying, because I could really use the return to cover all of the tooth work that I'll need to get done. Apparently everyone's getting megafat refunds this year, and I want my piece!
I just read on Ka Crow's journal that something really *bad* happens to Fnar over on the webcomic Jack; I had fallen off reading it a long time ago, but I've kept up enough to know that he was finally going off to Heaven and for once something *good* was happening to *someone* over there. The news, though, made my chest feel tight and my breathing quicken and my head spin. To feel that badly for a character in a webcomic that I haven't read in, oh, a year or two is...unexpected and incredible. It also speaks volumes of how well-written the comic is. I'm going to have to pick it up again, and redouble my efforts to make sure "Salvation" is that good.
Now, off to work and writing.
