What do you want to read or hear?

I record­ed some more pieces, but need to wait for Sam to “pro­duce” them (clean them up and add appro­pri­ate music). One of them isn’t some­thing I would have cho­sen myself, but Todd, who cre­at­ed Live Read­ings, asked to hear oth­ers read it. It turned out bet­ter than I thought it would. And it was fun to do some­thing that I would­n’t have chosen.

So it’s request time! What would you like me to record, or write about?

I start­ed to write a post ear­li­er, and it wan­dered all over my men­tal world to become some­thing com­plete­ly dif­fer­ent than what I’d intend­ed. I need to let that one sim­mer a bit more, I think because I’m not sure that I’m ready to open myself to the whole world at that lev­el of intro­spec­tion right now.

I stitched for about an hour tonight, and Sam and I had a very fast-paced game ses­sion. There was a major bat­tle that wrapped up an impor­tant issue, but for some rea­son, it felt anti­cli­mac­tic. My char­ac­ter chose to sneak up on the big bad guy and kill him with­out warn­ing or con­ver­sa­tion.¹Hey, he was a necromancer/shaman work­ing with a demon god­dess and shark peo­ple pirates who have been breed­ing humans for food. There was­n’t real­ly any­thing to nego­ti­ate, you know? and my char­ac­ter start­ed out as a rogue. Why waste the back­stab bonus? I don’t get to do that much any­more. I had to won­der, after­ward, if that choice chopped off some planned sto­ry that would have hap­pened if I had inter­act­ed with him a lit­tle more.

I did­n’t go to my appoint­ment today, because I spent most of last night up sick. It real­ly does seem that I might have the flu. Urgh. Not what I need! The neu­rol­o­gist did­n’t need my germs, and I was too out of it to get there and home safely.
