So Jon and I have our hotel reservation and will be away for a couple days (as mentioned in the announcement). :)

Today was an eventful day... even though I didn't get to spend much of it doing what I had hoped to do on Sat. Couldn't even finish RPoL posts I wanted to, but that is minor, really. Was taking care of more important things!

Actually I probably did more talking with people in the past couple days than I have in a while. Hermit Sally :(

But I did get to play PSU tonight. Actually, yesterday and today was pretty awesome for PSU, we spent a long time playing. Actually got two full Boost Road runs done, after several weeks of not really playing as much due to one or the other person being tired, unavailable, lack of working account, etc.

Whoa birthdays. Eni's was yesterday but I was out all day. And today's is Selina's and Lumi's. I'm sending birthday wishes all over the place.

Still feel rather sad I'm not sending gifts because I like being generous, but right now being generous may not be a good idea. Still no financial aid yet and Jon is just starting a new job at the end of this month.

On the other hand I DID spend *some* money as I had some left over... namely, to get Dark Spire. FINALLY. XD And Jon bought some music CDs which I will talk about later.

Dark Spire is just... totally awesome so far. Mmmmm challenging dungeon crawlers. The premise is very simple (go to the top of the tower, kill the bad sorcerer, get back the treasure--it's very Nethack-ish actually), and the gameplay seems deceptively simple as well. But this game totally does NOT handhold you through much at all. Even the tutorial had this attitude of "just DO IT already, stop asking questions!" which amused me to no end.

The post I almost made was this really angry, angsty crying post. Mostly about my lengthening absences, my reasons for not trusting others and just... frustration at events in my online past. Maybe I'll post it later, maybe not.

What I've been up to: RPoL posts (set up for a new week of events in Five Coils). Lazing around, helping Jon solve this web riddle/puzzle thing he's doing. Also, we're watching the rest of the first series of Sailor Moon subs. I'd forgotten how totally indecent some of those sailor scout transformations were, sheesh :D but mostly it's been fun to watch and I think I'm going to want to watch all 200+ episodes (yes! including Sailor Stars!)

And Eni I'm really sorry but I can't concentrate on your game stuff at all. :( I suck. :( I just can't get inspired right now to think of any good ideas when it's for someone else's project, and not something I'm putting my own concepts 100% into. Maybe next week but I think this week is kind of a bust, argghhh.

Sleepy again... I was going to post about PSU (since there's been a new event, the Winter Carnival) but looks like I'll do that on Friday (PSU day!)

Well, Friday already feels so vague to me that I can hardly think about writing it. In the evening, as I wrote last time, I went out and bought books and my game. Before that... well, my mind is really foggy about a lot of things lately. It's like I hardly do anything except think about what I need to write next.

I'd even meant not to work as long as I did on Saturday, but I ended up writing up Exalted 2nd edition rules I want to use for Outcastes, which are basically the mix of mass combat / real time combat I do in the naval battles (I called it Skirmish Rules). And before that I was ... I don't even remember. Wow. Well, just updating my threads and stuff, and I talked to Eni a bit too, who said she missed me a lot.

I miss me a lot too sometimes.

Just recently I have developed a fascination for the life of Clara Bow, the 'It' Girl. Here is an article I read.

Panty by Post - I like this idea. Though I wouldn't want anyone besides my significant other to send me one. That would be awkward!

I am thinking of using Pivot for Psyche Labyrinthine. Just 'cause I thought it looked cool when I saw Rin's!

Eni showed me some database programming stuff I'll need to start working on for her. I'm pondering what language I will use to do the database functions.

Also I got a shiny email from Kalli. <3!
