Alex's trips through time and space

I think I want to watch this, although I can't be sure.

I am redundant!

Yay!

Rhona just gave me a copy of Fevre Dream with a signed dedication in it from George RR Martin.

This is incredibly cool.

Just got back from the interview.  A long day, and pretty busy.  I'm hopeful, but I am also accutely aware of my competition of the job, so here's hopin'.

Interview today at Jagex.

Wish me luck.

Thanks to Jon's girlfriend Alice, my neck is less seized although still not fully recovered. Stll taking the meds, just at reduced dosage to see how it goes.  No more valium for a little bit too.

However, I currently have a feaverish thing going on.  I am in bed wrapped up and shivvering despite the heating being on and the house being warm.  Sucky!  This just isn't my week.

Currently sitting pretty on a cocktail of Codeine, Ibuprofen, and Diazapam.

Approach with caution.

Gmail knackered for everyone else?

Edit: Working again

Another game down, and the world continues to spin. Can't believe it's been 5 games already. Where has the time gone? Still, got to start prepping for next month already.

I was surprised at the size of the game we had once again, but it makes me happy. I gotta say, it seemed like Vampire was bigger then the other 3 games we had put together. It was really impressive. I need to start getting things running for regular visitors, as we now have a few who always come to Cambridge regardless of when we're on.

I hope everyone who came along had a really great time, thanks for being wonderful players this month and not dragging the game into a mass combat!

Happy Birthday to Ben

blessed internet at the house has arrived!

I realise I've been rather slack on my LJ updates of late, so I figure it's about time to make another.

Lets see. Did anything important happen?

Oh, my car needed a new exhaust on Friday so I got that sorted. On Saturday I went to a BBQ at Stephen's house and had much fun. On Sunday I had a table top game that was pretty fun. All in all, pretty eventful.

Oh, and at some time between all this I moved house. :-D

Just settling in to the new place now, got a bed on the way but it's gonna take some time to turn up which means a few uncomfortable nights approaching. Need to really commence operation unpack now. The front room is a maze of boxes at present with little storage space to put the it in. I would like to point out, none of it is mine. My stuff is very compact and sitting in my room neatly.

In other news, game's this weekend. Will be my 5th game. Alot of the fear I had about running the game is thankfully gone and it seems to be moving along well. I am really liking this STing lark. Much thanks to Mouse this month for helping me significantly with Downtimes due to me having no time with this move. God knows what I'd have done without him.

Another Mass combat!  Another!  Anyone would think I'm actively promoting them as best I can.

That said, I'd like to thank all who took part.  It went about as smoothly as it can in that situation.  Considering the numbers of people involved, it was amazingly painless.  Special thanks to Luke for doing my initative run down list for me.  It helped make things super efficient.

In other news, now I need to stick out a bunch of announcements and get my reports sorted.  Oh, and I should do some of my work work as well.

Downtimes up.  Sorry they are so late, but no internet at work currently due to the fun that is our supplier and the fun of finding a new flat.

In other news looks like we may have found a new place, pending credit check.  Which is nice.

Time to start looking for a new flat.  Shame, as I really like my current place.

Also, bugger me is property hunting hard.

One to go.

Finished my first week of Jury Duty.  Has been rather interesting so far.  I had a case this week.  I was even the foreman of the Jury.  Which meant I had to stand up and read out the verdict.

Now to see if I get a case this next week.  Hope so, cos it sure beats sitting on my butt reading a book waiting for a case.

Downtimes up

I'm after background ties for my new Carthian nomad.  If anyone is willing, I'd appreciate the help.

He's a Mekhet, sired in 1945.  Spent much of his life as a nomad through Europe.

In 1958 he settled down in Amsterdam for 10 years, which is when he joined the Carthian movement.  After then he started spending more time in the UK, hoping across on the ferries.

I'm after any kind of tie really, but what is especially good are people he's worked for in the past.  He is not a proud man, and will do anything for anyone, provided they pay him.  He usually takes boons, but some times he'll negotiate a different price.  He then uses those boons to pay his way through his nomad life style.

When I say he'll do anything, I do mean it.  He'll clean your house, he'll wash your car, he'll deliver a message, he'll 'deliver a message', he'll body guard, he'll drive you places, he'll act as a delivery boy, he'll follow someone, he'll investigate something.  There are limits to what he'll do, but really....he's not proud and if you pay he'll do it.

So, as it's my birthday on July the 16th I've taken Friday the 17th off work (see how smart that is).

With this in mind, anyone looking to come to the Cambridge game weekender early is more then welcome to come on the Friday at any time.  Things can be done, places visited that sort of stuff.


Come one, come all.

Happy Birthday Martin!
