city by the bay...

So yeah. Friday, I went to San Francisco. First, I got a couple maps of SF for my project. Then I went out to Divisadero, to Gamescape, which is, in my opinion, the best freaking game store in the Bay Area. (Granted, I've not seen many.) There, I got the IN GMG and lots of dice -- roman numeral d6s, chinese number d6s, wooden d6s, California d6s, those dice in dice (both d6 and d10) and glow in the dark d6s. I love dice. I need to find a game to get into so I can use some of these.

And when I got home, I found a letter in my mailbox that read "as long as you pass your exams (i.e., project) you're good to graduate."

Friday night, I talked to zibblsnrt briefly, and then Luns invited me out for something. I'll tell you more when I get the pictures from him, but for the IN fans in the crowd, what we did would have made Haagenti proud. Then we spent a couple hours burning off the sugar high.

This morning, I wrote a bit of randomness (which isn't going to make any sense if you're not familiar with the net.org The Jihad to Destroy Barney, as Katze's my character there--although it might not make any sense anyway, it's me being utterly random), and otherwise bummed around my apartment.

Tonight, I had convos with zibblsnrt and mrfnord, which were both fun, and I took a sharpie marker and did this to one of the transit maps I bought on Friday:



And now I'm going to bed, so I can put my database together tomorrow.

Night, LJ world

I've come upon the epiphany that Jihad fic is Mary Sue. We use the same net.aliases in fic and rl (if we even use an alias instead of our real names), base our fic characters' personalities on idealized versions of ourselves, inflate our abilities, and collect honours and accolades like pogs. There are a few nonconformists like Zib, but for the most part, you know what I'm talking about.

Cecrops was a Mary Sue when first written, but I've tried to pull Tangaroa away into something different while working out the new charsheet. Unfortunately, I've made him an asshole, but at least it's something approaching rp. Hopefully I got all the Sue out of my system writing up the Centurion Tyranis NPC ;)
