Wemic's Crying

Tonight turned out a little different then I thought. Here's a random play of events:
Got the complete lowdown of what we are doing for CIS480 this summer. Basically determining the needs of a foundation's database and then recommending an off the shelf database geared towards foundations.
Ordered yet more books from Noble Knight, this time a couple 1st Ed Blue Planet books and one Engel book. Now I should have the full runs of both: a grand total of 3 books each. Blue Planet managed to survive to a 2nd Ed but Engel never really got off the ground in the US. Sad, I like the setting. Not sure how much the BP books will ever be used, prolly only play 2nd Ed if I ever play BP at all but part of me is very completist. No more RPG books for awhile and yes I'm aware at the start of the year I said I wouldn't get any and since then I've prolly gotten nearly a dozen. Hypocrite I most certainly am at times :(
Went to BW3s in Wausau. This was primarily a get-out-of-point/plan-this-summer-trip event. Successfully got out of Point. Did plan out our route to and from. Not terribly thrilled about return route cause it involves camping and I'm not a huge fan but realized that it won't kill me and it'll prolly build character if not give some useful basic life skills (ie helping to put up a tent, getting eaten by coyotes while the rest of the group beats it back to the CRV). So it'll prolly turn out to be a good thing if by this time we aren't ready to kill each other from proximity. Gotta keep a good attitude! (Harking back to the Air Force personnel at Keflavik in Red Storm Rising :D )
Got back, watched CSI and bummed around. Decided to throw Serenity into the tablet in my room and generate another character for Dani's game. My initial character is all good to go: Druid5/Shifter8. Yea, non gamers try and figure that out could been: Drd5/Shf8 even more confusing, eh? So for the heck of it I decide to make a character based off of a creature. I ended up picking a Wemic because they seemed pretty pimped. Went about making a 13th level character and after getting mostly done realized I had misunderstood the oh-so-not-confusing-at-all-unless-you-are-not-rocket-scientist ECL rules and made an 18th level charcter Wemic Fighter10 instead of a 13th level character who'd be a mere Fighter5. Alas, but no real loss because not my intended character to play. Plus I got to see Serenity and that's always fun.
"Tell me again about the part where Jayne gets knocked out by a 90 pound girl because that's never getting old!"

So here I am writing a very long blog entry right before I go to bed. Still feel kind of wide awake but hopefully I can read a little more of 2 Peter and that'll help ease my mind out of overdrive. Enjoy, good night, etc, etc.

PS I noticed that Mal looks scarily like Sean sometimes, you know how wrong that is?
