Ponderings and Random Thoughts

I've been debating whether or not to pick up posting again.

The protagonists of the last three things you read/watched/played are the members of your zombie apocalypse team. How screwed are you?

* "Freakonomics" started watching this on Thursday and finished tonight... Two economists talk about the secret ways data and motivation work...not so great for fighting back, but might be useful for sifting through patterns to determine the cause of the outbreak.  Actually, its a really awesome / thought provoking movie that ranges from cheating in Sumo wrestling to motivating kids to get better grades to unexpected affects of policies.  

* "Neverwhere" watched last night; if I get Door plus Richard Mayhew...then I might be okay..especially with later on Richard Mayhew...but then people do sometimes die in that story...so not so sure.  I'm still not sure what was up with the production value of that mini-series.. an A&E production in conjunction with the BBC...and yet...at times it was like an 80s high school art school project.

* "Rizzoli & Isles" watched the other day while picking up my place; hmm...a Boston cop and a medical examiner..well maybe the later can team with the economists; and at least the cop has a gun..something sorely missing from earlier in this venture.

Overall, I think I'm a little lacking in fire power and would be forced to run, and then try to logic the problem out by sorting through data and numbers...but with Door that's a bit less of a problem...so I think I'm fine as long as I get slow dumb zombies and not super fast smart ones...

This a couple of really long posts I've been meaning to make; heck, I still want to talk about the games I was in at Intercon...but I also want to write about game mechanics and seamless play, ADD and other things, religious intolerance, a basic me 101 entry etc.

But instead, I figure, for now I will leave that list for future reference to try to pick off over time, and now do a small meme...

Instead a simple meme...Feel like asking me a question? All comments screened unless otherwise indicated; anonymous commenting on.

[Error: unknown template qotd] Rudolph the Red Nosed reindeer - its a silly little movie, but I love the moment when he figures out flying.

The longer i'm involved with 7V and go to various events related to it, the more I have become convinced we need a 7 Virtues recipe book...complete with in game like pictures and drawings, just to document and perserve all the truly marvelous food at the events and roleplay sessions....

...cause really, we have some fabulous cooks and bakers among us.

now to bed, as I am stupidly tired right now.

-one or two levels of internal filters fell off last night; which was interesting and lead to some odd turns of phrase.

-the snows have gotten so deep that deer have taken to running on the street in small packs. I saw not 1 or 2 but 6 of them on the drive home last night.

-I'm contemplating picking up or making more late 1890s wear. I'm in one game to Intercon thats roughly that time period which also corresponds to the late bustle period.

-I need to finish my 7v pel.. :p

-and finally, whiskey remains tasty.

Appetizers mostly done - the one did not come out quite as I liked -- so Ialso made  a spicy carrot dip.  Cat has been fed, kitchen has been mostly cleaned up. :)

  Soon off to the car and to a generous friends' place for Thanksgiving.  Thank you all for being out there, and part of my life.

Butterick is making a pattern that includes sword frogs, bracers and "shoulder covers". While the frogs will not fit standard larp weapons, its rather interesting how mainstream this sort of thing has become - or alternatively, how pattern companies have figured out there's a demand there.

But felt like saying, yes, I am still here. Same name as on LJ - just a different forum.

Things progress a pace. :)
