Slightly Delayed Post

So this was from last night. ResNet screwed up the internet so I couldn't do this last night (the web access is still screwed up, I just jimmyed my way around it). Anywho original intended post time about 0130...


Yea I am still alive just fairly busy and not seeing much to throw up here. My week got a little better since Wednesday and the let downs have mostly been ones caused by me since then so I can live with those (and keep trying to change them). Got up incredibly early to eat breakfast with Lars. Haven't been up before 7am in awhile. Still trying to sort some things out, a couple friends seem kind of lost out there so trying to figure that out without causing too much trouble. Sometimes my concern turns into nosiness. I dunno, just worry about drifting away right towards the end of the year. Since I won't be back for so long I worry that drifting away now may mean never recovering and losing a friend.
One last week of "normal" school and then finals and intensive quiet hours (ugh!). Some places are already bearing down for finals so shouts out to Colleen and Ryan and Jenny L. and anyone else I may have forgotten (sorry!) as well. Good luck. The answer is probably C.
Got Blue Submarine 6 Special Edition today. It is good but not as good as I remembered. Some very very cool submarine combat. It's also in surround (in Japanese) so I finally get anime in SURROUND! Finally! It's kinda creepy because you have voices behind you half the time and you look around for them and don't see anyone of course.
GASP had it's sorta transfer of power meeting today. I was the webmaster. I didn't do a whole lot. I guess for the two webpages I got in charge of I ran out of steam by the end of fall and never regained it. It's hard too. Anyhow hopefully my successors will be better at it then me. I will try and help as needed when I am around (aka December 2004). Ashley has big plans for GASP though and I hope they work out!
Let's see, anything else I care to toss out here...there was a funny LoTR topic on the Ambroisa Just Chat board. Just gonna have to find it yourself!
The Infernal debate has kinda burned out on the Exalted forums finally. Things are quiet now. I am working on a story about an Infernal Exalt. Not sure it will ever get finished or get up. A couple of my previous things do relate to Infernals. Originally I was re-writing a previous story using Exalted as the power beings of the story. I kinda quit writing it last semester but one of the mains (arguably the main, which I didn't like, wanted some others to be couldn't get it that way) was destined to become and Infernal long before any of them were statted.
The Last Samuari soundtrack (courtesy of Twism) is quite good. You should get it.
I admit right now I am neglecting my book reviews. I will hammer out a couple for you right now.
WindZone: This is brand new. Comes out July 2004. Don't ask how I got it. Neat concept. Artwork is ok. I like the setting a lot. I wish it was more detailed but that's alright. Maybe I will churn out something kind of in it. Regardless check out Final Level for actual purchase if you really care. The book covers a world that is entirely flat and entirely endless. Wind is everything. On a completely flat surface it can pick up a lot of speed and power and much is derived from it. A number of speices exist in this world most which can fly some which have wings others which use their minds to power themselves along. As layout goes it is ok. The chargen mechcanics are spread rather far apart and can be confusing at times. It's a new system overall so while the general concepts are familiar (because there are only so many different ways to use dice to game) figuring out exact rules can involve some serious hunting. This strikes me more overall as a Player's Guide then a Storyteller/GameMaster's Guide for the most part. However minus the layout issues this introduces some interesting concepts are areas to gaming I think and shouldn't be discounted.
That's all for now folks. Billy's cousins are visiting later today and for some reason (far beyond my understanding, I wouldn't want to meet me) they actually want to meet me so I should try and be awake by then I guess!
