Coming up for air
Oct. 30th, 2008 05:33 pmHow did my life become this busy? I break it down and it's not like I do all that much and yet I feel like I never stop, and it's been weeks since I've had time to update here. That last probably has most to do with the fact that I'm now running Call of Cthulhu on Monday evenings so Sundays are largely taken up with chores and preparation.
I'm not sure if I'm any good as a Call of Cthulhu GM - while I've played it on and off for more than 20 years it's the first time I've run it and I rather struggle with mood and pace. It doesn't help that my players seem disinclined to take it as seriously as I'd like (it's supposed to be horror, after all. A laugh a minute rather kills the whole point of the thing).
I've had today off and, unsurprisingly, haven't achieved much. Mostly I've been trying to catch up on my sleep in preparation for my overnight tonight. (Midnight till 6am. Shudder). But before that, it's gaming (Ars Magica tonight). Tomorrow is, I hope, sleep, followed by the Lantern Parade in Sefton Park and then the drive down to London. Off to Feeling Gloomy on Saturday night, which I'm very much looking forward to.
Anyway, this is really just to say I'm alive and content and very much in need of more sleep :D.
