Somehow this weekend was fairly busy. I guess it relates to me ending up with five(!!!) new RPG books so I have a lot of reading to do. Not to mention a test on 3 chapters in Geog 110 including the longest chapter in the book which happens to be rather boring if thorough. Ask me about world agriculture, I might even be able to answer something.
I now have the Exalted Player's Guide and Blood & Salt. Both are quite good although I haven't gotten through much of Blood & Salt. I will comment on them more later. From helping out Jason with card sorting (wrestling is one of the most degrading things towards women btw) I picked up the Michaelite Order book for Engel, a yet to be released core book called WindZones, and a D20 mecha book. The Michaelite book I had been thinking about getting but didn't want to spend the money so getting it for free is quite cool. Due to my Exalted books I haven't given it a thorough look (indeed the only book of the five that has been thoroughly looked thru is the Player's Guide) but the fold out map of the entire Himmel is unbelievable. The artwork for this game continues to be impressive and does a wonderful job and increasing the feeling for the setting. WindZones I cannot say much about except considering it is very short (slightly larger then your average softcover RPG book) and that it is a corebook it should be interesting just how much is packed in there. Ben looked it over and reported that the mechanics sections was 2 pages long. For those of you who don't play RPGs, that's practically nothing at all. The mecha book I took on a whim, Ashley already said she wouldn't let me use them in her game, alas, no dragons piloting giant mecha thru brothel and bar ridden towns.
Dani has me now somewhat hooked on Naruto. It is fairly good when they actually get around to doing stuff but suffers from too many flashbacks and the dread people reacting/panicking/not doing anything interesting syndrome. The pace will hopefully pick up tho.
This week I need to get out and enjoy the nice weather and extra hour of sunlight-sunlight in the morning is a real waste. Aside from that I am feeling like I have a couple friendships which are riding on the edge of either not being friends anymore or being much less close both things which rather worry me. As a result I think I need to take some time to step back, give people some room, and also just think. This is good walking weather so I had better take advantage of it. Hopefully I can shake this shadow which has been with me since Friday.
For those of you who care I am now charged with trying to update the Chi Alpha webpage for UWSP. So if you have suggestions or ideas feel free to give some input. I hope I can turn out something nice for people, or otherwise whoever takes over in the fall will just have to waste more time to build a new thing all over again. I do want to contribute back to Chi Alpha because it really helped me in my walk with God and why should I reap the benefits and not pass them on to others? If you believe passionately in something but hoard it for yourself what's the point? Spread whatever is so good to others so they can enjoy it with you. Or something like that. Sometime I want to post some stuff from CGS up here. It won't be nearly as good as the real thing but I don't know if you can put good teachers into an easily mass replicated form. I rather doubt it else we would have them out there.
