Lots of knitting. Lots and lots of knitting. (If you’re on Ravelry, you can see my finished projects.) My hands ache from the knitting, particularly the left because I knit Continental. I think I may have to learn to knit English just to swap off on occasion. We’ve been going out to hear more live […]
Energy Boost
Plinky asked, “What energizes you?” I struggle with major depression (actually, treatment-resistant depression), so it’s difficult to find much that energizes me. However, really great conversation with just a few people does it quite well. The same goes for story games, or a really good tabletop roleplaying session that focuses on characters and plot rather than […]
Time Flies
I used to get so annoyed when my mother would say, “Twenty years from now, nobody will know the difference.” She was wrong in a sense—I certainly still know the difference, about so very many things. On the other hand, I do understand the longer view much better now. Twenty years seemed like such a […]
Tired Now
I had a pain doctor appointment last week but wasn’t up to going. So Sam rescheduled it for me, and I headed across town today. Apparently, this was the day for “fitting in” everybody who has canceled an appointment in the last Goddess-knows-how-long, because I arrived to find no parking (even on the street in front […]
I missed what?
It was National Grammar Day AND Gamemaster’s Day, and I didn’t realize either until the day was almost over! It was date night, though, and my favorite GM and I did play, so at least there’s that. I’ll have to get him a make-up present, though. Do you know all those different click-to-give sites? I […]
McCain Blogger Flubs His Roll
If you’re a gamer, you’ve probably heard the hoorah by now. Michael Goldfarb, a blogger on McCain’s official campaign site added a lame anti-gamer slur to his rinse-and-repeat “but he was a POW!” bullshit. Sam (and many others) responded to the twit (who keeps comments disabled on his blog—afraid of a little commentary, Goldfarb?). This […]
Good Reads Migration Finished!
That was not painless at all. The import feature is tetchy, at best. I had to go through the entire list of 1300+ books and fix their “bookshelf” assignments as well as add some that just didn’t import at all. I had over 1400 books in Now Reading, and I haven’t quite figured out why […]
Linky!
I’m not feeling so good, so I’m mostly posting links. But they’re good ones! Marvelously fun toy: Killjoy Cooking With the Dungeons & Dragons Crowd Gays marry, world does not end
My name is Cynthia, and I am a roleplaying addict
My one and only complaint about gaming with Sam is that I never, ever get enough. He’s just so good, and the stories are so fascinating, that I always want more! I’m just greedy, I guess. Yep, I flubbed my saving throw against being a geek.
Date Night–Baby!
We had Chinese food together tonight, and played for a while. There was some ick, but I suspected that it was coming. The happy part is that my character’s oldest son (foster son, really) baby was born. First grandbaby! There have been many babies born in the last “year” of the game, and there are […]
