Me and the not updating

I should not look at airsoft sites. Because then I see they have revolver airsoft guns, complete with having to load each cylinder individually, and I think about running a Wild West LARP, which is not what my brain needs now.

So I haven't been updating much lately, mainly because I don't feel like writing. Well, I do feel like writing sometimes, its just that between day job and Dawning Star, LJ sort of falls off the radar. But anyway, here's the short version.

pleroma is staying with us for a few weeks and is now working at Icarus with me. He seems to be fitting in and he gets to sit up front with the cool kids, while I am stuck in a hall (which is sort of my fault really since I chose to stay in the hall at first because I liked the seclusion, but now the constant traffic is driving me nuts). He has gotten to see that I am not always the chipper person I am when most of you see me, i.e. at games and other social functions. Yes, in fact at home I am quite grumpy generally want to be left alone (and those damn kids to get off my lawn). I can be quite the bear to live with. And woe to he who interrupts Wednesday night's comic reading!

Work is proceeding as ever. At the day job churning out tons of NPCs and missions. At home working on small PDFs for Dawning Star. technoir has done some awesome podcasts for Dawning Star in the form of an in game radion show and some of the PDFs are based off the material he came up with. He's really come up with some great stuff and given me tons of ideas to work with, so bully for him!

And so weekend before last we went to NYC. I ate pizza of the gods, and am now stuck back in this lands of chain pizza places and bad crust. Truely, it is pizza hell to have two days of the most amazing pizza, and then come back to everything else. And we visited some of our friends from NYC while there, and I saw people at DC. Good to know they still remember me, and they said I was the gold standard for job performance for my old job. So that as all warm and fuzzy. Sadly though several people I wanted to see have left the company, so much catch up with them elsewhere. Also bought way too many comics, but they did teach me an important less: when I grow up, I want to be Big Johnson Bone, ancestor of Phone Bone and crew from the Bone comics. "Stupid Stupid Rat Tales" is by far the funniest comic I've read in month.

Speaking of Bone, if you like laughing, fantasy, and comics, you need to read Bone. It's one of the best comics to come out in the last...I don't know...thirty years? You can take your Watchmen, your Dark Knight, your deconstruction, post modernism, and sexual deviancy and leave me with three little white, puffy citters from the family Bone and their accidentaly involvement in someone elses fantasy epic.

So I'm feeling creatively thin these days between the day job and freelancing. I have come to the conclusion while at some point I would love to run a sci-fi larp with airsoft guns or some such, if I tried to do it know it would suck. I just don't have the creative fu to spare, and I don't see how medicine_weasel and jenharts did it. Hell, having a day job alone seems enough of a strain. Honestly I think a large part of the reason I did a pretty good job on SI plot was I was in college and had the time. And now, not so much, but I have money, and I like money.

Not feeling the energy for the gaming post I had planned, so I'll do that another day.

And congratulations to the great and numerous births of late! I have been most remiss in communication my congratulations. I suck.

And lastly thanks to the folks who take pictures at games and post them on LJ. It helps me live vicariously through others. Planning on making it to the first KG 3-day, maybe SI 3-day, have to see how things go.
