Dec. 24th, 2003 10:02 amThe last couple of days, while not troubling in the least, have been difficult timewise. I haven't gotten the requisite amount of sleep, and I'm a little crabby as a result. Things that don't irritate me have, at least in the last day or so. But anyway.
Sunday was fun. I think I wrote about this already, but I'm going to again. Why? Because it's my fucking journal, and I can do that. Family party. Didn't fight with mom. Dueling Banjos was played.
It strikes me that this was the first night my roomate was crab ass, too. He doesn't sleep near enough, he's addicted to one of them online rpgs, and it's not pretty. Certain things aren't getting done expeditiously. Very disturbing,. Eh, actually, not so much. It's not disturbing....by my standards. I'm not the neat freak of the house. He's usually the one to advocate for that kind of thing. So, a turnaround like this is kind of weird. Eh, no biggy. When I get home tonight I'll deal with the living room.
ANnnnnnnnnnnyway.
We role played monday night at a friend's house, which took a lot longer than I wanted it to.
In my mind, an encounter should be written to challenge the party. Not block them. I hate concealment, slippery floors, and the like. All it does is slow things down, most times to the point that a decent encounter is now tedious and boring. In this case, we had all of the above. There was steam, water on the floor (and of course, the monsters? Water colored so there's a miss chance too! JOY!) and the worst part? HALF THE FLOOR IS GONE SO THERE'S A CHANCE, AFTER YOU FALL DOWN, THAT YOU'LL JUST FALL A FLOOR DOWN! This is design engineered to hamper the characters rather than facilitate fun, good play.
Last night, I went to go see my friend Paul's band. It was supposed to start at 11. We got there at 11:30....and another band was still onstage. I should have known that there would be problems when the half NAKED FAT MAN was onstage, headbanging. And the guy in the chicken suit. It was cinched when they started singing about skinhead pride. Yep, the short yid at the skinhead hardcore show. I was tensed to go. Paul's band only got heckled like once, which was refreshing. I actually thought they'd be a bit heavier; two guitars usually lends heft.
Tonight? Dinner with the family, then we serve xmas dinner to people. I am considering going to "What I like about jew" at the Knit tomorrow night.
galatea_world and

Merry christmas, you magnificent bastards. I really do love all of you.
