Ups and Downs...
So, first on the upside of things...
Well, one of last weeks "heart breaks" (really the only one I cared about) turned out not to be. It's a long story... but someone was trying to sabotage me and someone special from getting together. Fortunately, we've worked passed that, and things are moving along fine now. In fact, I'm kinda on cloud nine because of it. She's keen, and pretty, and fun and... lots of great stuff.
Now, the bad side of things... I just found out today that a good friend of mine died. He had been ill, so it wasn't a surprise, but It happened over a month ago, and I only found out now. Jay was a Vietnam Vet, who always provided wisdom, and help when I needed him. God bless you, Jay.

Two, unrelated tid bits...
First... new record... heart stepped on not once... but twice in the same week. I'm going to wear a smile tomorrow... that's my costume.
Second... if I didn't get too emo with my last little self indulgent bit of prose... Party tomorrow at my place!

If I recall... last SWRE took place on the same weekend Dark Knight was released...
and The Batman is the closest thing I have to God.
Ron
PS: that's not really true. But it's funny... and I like to say "The Batman."

So Con Wrap-Up
Hey Kids!
So, here's your late wrap up of SoCon...
Got there early Friday, and caught up with a few people I had a lot of hats to wear for the weekend, but things seemed rather free right at that point, so I headed over to Mage. Gabe is tied up in Proxy right now, so I played Duat for the first time in a while. In short, it was an interesting game. No action, really, but lots of occult stuff to deal with. really nice to let the Mysterium shine. Game was lightly attended, however.
After the game, a few of us bailed out to head to the The Hat and shot my diet in the face with a shotgun loaded with chili fries and pastrami. Then, I had to miss a few hours of Ling, so James and I could hit Cost Co, and get the Hospitality room set up. (side note... it was the "George w. Bush Presidential Suite.' So, i renamed it the "Hospitaliaton room.")
By the time I got to game, the plot was already underway... and I didn't have much time to talk with folks, before the 10pm True Fae showed up. Brady, you know I love you, but True Fae showing up at large gatherings... it's kind of done. They've become cliche. There was a sub-plot dealing with Fetches that I really liked, however. anyway, the TF took a bite out of Nycto, and nearly killed Cid (James), so it was time to fall back on the "run away" plan. Another side note: Nycto and Cid found some odd trifle that was full of stolen glamor. We broke it, to give the glamor back, and gave the shell to a little Wretch Chef to make me Pie. The Pie, made of Goblin Fruit, screamed when Nycto ate it. So, Nycto is now "in love" with the Chef. Hot.
That night was drink night number 1, at the Hospitaliation Room. Good times, and good conversation.
Next day, was up early for Forsaken. I don't know much about the game, but I had gone over the basic rules. Lucky for me, we had a great story, with a need for NPCs. That being my strong suit, I was able to do well there. Everyone really liked my Pie Guy NPC.
After the Forsaken game, I covered for James, so he could restock, and hung out in the H.R. again.
Saturday night, I was supposed to take over for Security, but TJ (the Vamp ST) needed help running combat... and the Cammies were all being adults, so I changed my job duties. I ran my first mass combat, and it went really well, then I assisted on 2 more. (one was a major cluster! I mean, like 20 something people involved.) I'd say what happened IC, but I'm going to hold off.
The next morning was the Geist brunch, that I hosted. Talked with a bunch of people about the great new venue, and how we can really make it great. Then, quick Mage game, some lunch with new friends, and back home.
The best part about the weekend had to be making new friends with some great Cam members. I know it sad, but that's where I really have fun now in the Cam. The game stuff is nice, but that's just not my favorite part.
Anyway, I have to end things now...and without even telling you about my Date on Sunday night!

Ah, fate, you bitch...
So, Had a big family outing this weekend. Had a great time seeing all the family, many of whom I have not gotten so see in far too long...
Among the many, many great things that happened this weekend, my Aunt *gave* me an XBox 360. Standard edition. She, and my cuz even gave me a load of free games. (CoD4, GoW, Dead Rising, many other smaller games. No Halo, but I can pick that up myself.) So, I get home tonight, and decide to hook it up. After about an 3 and 1/2, I figure out how to plug it in. I screw around with it a bunch, make a Live account, even figure out how to link it to my computer. (Can't get the wireless network to work, some security problem.)
but, darn it all, if I can't get a game to play. I keep thinking I'm doing something wrong... but every time I throw a game in, no matter the disk, I get back "if you want to play this DVD, Put it in the 360 console." I keep screwing with it, thinking that I was doing something wrong. Finally, I check online. Turns out this is a pretty standard problem... and I will have to get the disk drive replaced. I mean, unless one of you fine people has a better idea.
So... great unexpected gift... just going to have to save up to use it!

So, if you see a fat man running around, holding a collection of hats... say hi!

Looking Back
This week is noteworthy for a number of reasons. Aside from the obvious, its also the 8th anniversary of my exile to Fresno (if I recall, I moved on the 9th, and started working on the 11th.) In addition, on Friday, the 10pm News goes away. That leads to the topic for this week, "Looking Back." What do you see looking back? What events serve as landmarks for your personal timeline? Do some events stand out now, that you didn't know were important back then? How much have you changed, and how much has the world changed? (Next week will be something frivolous.)

Update
Sooo....
not too much going on with me. well, not really, there's always things going on with me, but I just don't like to focus on them too much.
OK, so first up, my health. Things have been a bit shaky as of late. My weight seems to have hit a platitude. I'm not gaining, but I'm not really losing much either. I've also seen my blood sugar spike a couple times, and had one Hypoglycemia incident. So, I really need to get a handle on things again.
Family: Sister moved out, so she could move in with her BF. Oddly enough, even though she wasn't here often while she was living here, I still miss her. House is just kind of emptier. Mom is doing well, but I wish she was on her MS Meds. I had her come and visit overnight Sunday, and it was really nice. We caught "Up," and had some nice dinner. This morning we got up early enough to talk.
Cam: Well, a few small things. I had wanted to go to Bakersfield last weekend, but I mismanaged some dates, and had to skip out. I didn't really care about the game as much as I wanted to see some of those people. Outside of the domain, I've volunteered to run a Geist meeting at SoCon (no word if it's actually going to happen or not) and I've volunteered to write for the regional newsletter. On the downside, I still haven't been too impressed by the general membership, or some of the PTB. Not that it really matters, as it looks like the Cam is slowly rotating the train anyhow.
Other games: Speaking of Geist, its really a great game, and I can't wait to play, or run it. D&D has been going well, even if our last gaming weekend was short. Oh, and I've stopped playing Animal Crossing. Just too busy.
Other stuff... umn. I really can't think of too much right now. so... goodbye.

For Scott
Scott's play is having some problems, so I'm sending him every bit of luck/blessing.
If this works, I expect all of you do to the same for me the next time I have a date.

post
I haven't posted anything in a while, so... here goes.
My health continues to be one of my main concerns. I'm paranoid that I'm going to give up an relapse, and I think that's making me starve myself a bit. In fact, this weekend I think I may have made myself a bit sick. Still, it just so daunting to think about... I've lost 25 lbs. but I need to lose another 125 to get to my ideal weight. Oh, and I hurt my foot.
Cam: Not really sure. Still haven't decided if I'm going to run for any ST office yet. I did get the days off to go to SoCon, but I'm looking forward to seeing the players much more than I am to playing any games. (In fact, I've volunteered for ST work, and Hospitality. The only game I've reserved time for is 'Ling.) I was actually looking forward to Bakersfield's game this weekend, but I'm not sure if they're having a game. If not, is Modesto having one?
Other games: really enjoying D&D. I had a chance to play for the first time a couple weeks ago (as opposed to running the game.) It was a blast.
also, because the 3rd weekend might be free (becuase I'm not running 'Ling) I'm thinking of hosting a "Long Live the King" game. I've had the thing for years, and always wanted to play it.
ALso on the game front, my sister picked up "Animal Crossing: City Folk" the other day, and I've gotten myself pretty addicted. My only problem, I can't play till after midnight, and that's when the game is in sleep mode.
Work: the 10pm is going away in a few weeks. I'm looking forward to it's death, but I'm also worried about my job security. You know those 2 days I have off? They're having the anchor produce the shows. If he can Produce/Anchor, when I'm gone, why not just fire me and save a paycheck? My boss told me that I shouldn't worry about it... that there are no plans for that.. but... lets face it, I'm a producer, my job is to worry about things.
Next time, I'm going back to video reviews.
