Mittwoch!

Today marked Day 2 of “The Lack of Good Sleep Chronicles.”  I slept in until a little after 8:00, to try and offset the lack of pre-alarm sleep.  It helped.  To a degree.

Today has been quiet; I’ve been playing with …  I mean “testing!”… kubuntu Linux.   And reading.  And, despite an utter lack of caffeination, trying to avoid in-depth studies of my inner eyelids.  I’m trying to decide if I should go home and nap after work or find a quiet spot – with coffee – and do some drawing.  Despite the lack of sleep, I’m leaning towards coffee and drawing.

Last night’s Shadowrun game went pretty well – the group is set for their next mission.  In setting up the run, I managed to  have an NPC piss off Chris’ character.  That was one of three outcomes that I had predicted would result from the situation… and it was the most “neutral” of them.  But, everyone survived the encounter and I think that the NPC’s explanation of “Why” was sufficient enough to get the ball rolling.  For now, at least.

Stray Toasters

• I am having a late lunch today.
• Prefab Housing by IKEA
  Speaking of which, the local Temple of Sweden is nearing completion…
• Erase Rewind is now playing on my iTunes.  I liked (like?) The Cardigans; has anyone heard anything from them in the past few years?  I remember racing to My Favourite Game in Gran Turismo 2 (the game, not The Cardigans’ album of the same name).
• US Housing Prices Graph as a Rollercoaster
• Twizzlers or Redvines?  I’m going with Twizzlers, personally.
• : Legion Animated Triplicate Girl, from the DCG
• The Mummy Returns‘ Arnold Vosloo as Black Adam
• 
• How Pro Gaming Will Change World of Warcraft
• Goldfish.  They are still very damned tasty.
• Joss Whedon: A to Z

Lunch: Done.
Linux: Resumes.

Namaste.
