Aug. 16th, 2005 10:53 pmOk.
Yup, I'm feeling better...tho, this weird hunk of metal thatis a temporary tooth (Tis made of aluminum, I think), is a damned odd sensation. It fits most of the way, but you can tell the difference.
Gencon is coming...and I'm running some Looney Lab games tomorrow (from 1 to 5, for the pre attendees), and then my main gig is the Ninja Burger World Championships...oooohhh..yeah, I know. What the hell is Ninja Burger? Well, Munchkin was taken, I didn't want the chaos of Chez Geek games, and I just didnt' think people would turn out for a "Burn in Hell" tournament.
Add to this, Bureau 13 D20 book is launching (I think it's launching) here, along with the new novel, set in the very beginning of B13, during the Civil War (I once ran a Gurps B13 campaign that had the team travel in time to stop the second assassination attempt on Lincoln...LONG story)...anyways...those two will be out, pluse a new game from the makers of Hex Hex...plus whatever else.
Time would have been that I'd take the hit, run myself tight for a while, and deal with it eventually..this year, that plan doesn't work, for obvious reasons stated earlier on this LJ. Hmmm...Am gonna attempt to finally get rid of my Heroclix..the Nightcrawler I have SHOULD bring in some cash, I hope. And I haven't played that game in...oh, going on two or three years, at this point. Similar to when I had Magic: The Arguing cards. :-P
Caught almost ALL the way up on 4400 this evening...tis an ok show..I'm curious where it's going...still behind in Dead Zone, which is ok, as it sounds like, out of 4 eps, the last 2 are the only ones that have been dealing with the apocalypse storyline.
Thank you, to all who have been offering help in varying capacities as I deal with this insanity that seems to be my life. It was recently stated "When hasn't your life ever been in flux?", and I had to think about that. Yeah, it seems my life is always in a certain degree of flux...and I'll admit to my own share of drama (dear god, Last Halloween is a good mark of that) that I bring upon myself. I tend to just cope and move along...so, for all the people who have helped, or are offering now, thank you. Credit where it's due, I wouldn't be half as sane as I am without the many friends I've got. The biggest problem seems to be not being able to plan much. And part of that has always been that, when I start to make plans, something BIG happens. :-) Hell, it's just been this year that I've been seriously wanting to get out of living in an Apartment, and into a house. We'll see where that plan eventually goes. So, when catastrophe strikes (or, complications), I don't know what to do typically, aside from grunt, bitch, and try to continue forward.
Fortunately, I've got a little in savings, that should help..and, if worse comes to worst,I'll cash out my 401K from the former employer. Yes, I know that's a hideously bad idea, as I'll lose something like 30% of it..but, that still leaves 70% to allay the problems and costs that are hitting. The trade off is being more aggressive when I start the next 401k. The lesson was learned...I have to plan at least that far ahead into the future..the world isn't going to mysteriously blow up, as I always surmised...but, at least I have that as an option (and, with the dentist bill, and Apt., and Car..it's good to have that as a stop gap).
Anyways, I'm rambling. Currently, am trying to convert Atmosfear, yet again, as the first time didn't take...er, it wasn't a file I could use well. So, am trying it with the other software.
:-) more later...hell, I think I'll try to do a phone post after bit. Seems that, free nights and weekends should allow me to get to a number to post something. Hmm....yay, fun.
