All of the Rondaks games I'm doing are on another long pause. *Yawn* It's a little frustrating, but I don't have a huge complaint about it right now because my brain is just out of steam lately. Hopefully this annoyance of hiatus both without and within will be short lived.

Feh, I didn't have anything else to blog about. Sorry. 

Go right on ahead and hate me

This is an anti-review. There is a movie that is getting a lot of promo play right now that I do not want to watch. I will be very selective of how I describe it, because I don't want to see a banner ad for it either. Basically I want to avoid this movie entirely if at all possible - seeing the commercials is enough. This move is about a particular disaster - that should tell you enough.

Blown away on the Runway

Tonight's Project Runway has completely stunned me. It's all turned around now, I just don't know where to begin.

We'll start off on a nice note - loved Kayne (and Robert)'s dress, I knew it would win before the model even walked it down the runway. The color choice was great, the line was gorgeous, and their teamwork was fantastic. Too bad we didn't actually get to see it on Miss USA - I hope they let us see it at the beginning of next week's ep.

Okay, that's out of the way - now for the craziness. Spoilers ahead if you were uncool enough to miss it...

I'm sure you really wanted to hear about yet Another Gay Movie on this blog. It's exactly as bad as you think. I seriously doubt that it'll play anywhere around here, so I'll have to wait for it to come out on DVD

Get it...? Come out? Okay, I know - too easy. 

Ow my brane!

Once again I've gone and let a big project get out of control and try to slip away into procrastination land. I've had this idea in my head to rearrange the psi powers in Trinity so that they make sense, instead of the demented mess that they put in that book to fit the necessities of their metaplot. It became an official project when it got picked as the game that the guys who I game with on Rondaks want me to run next.

No, I am not going to let that stupid contrary urge in my brain get in the way of this - I am going to finish this. Unfortunately it's just plain huge - so huge in fact that I have a great big piece of butcher paper taped up in the doorway to my left with little scraps of paper taped to it and thread joining those scraps up as I try to map the new power scheme out. It looks like string art that your kid brother with the crash helmet made. But I didn't make it to be pretty, I made it so I could keep track of the insanity that is this project.

It's going to be good, btw. Fantastic, even. I call it Strange Æons because I thought that Æon was a far cooler name than Trinity, and because I have to sneak a Cthulhu reference in whenever I get the chance. I promise I'll be good and keep the tentacleness to a minimum. Really, honest Injun. I'll even resist the urge to say 'non-Euclidean' or 'foetid' or even 'sanity blasting.' I can wring my hands and cackle all I want, because the players won't be able to see me do it.

And you know I'll be doing plenty of that.

I finally gave in and ordered the new World of Darkness rulebook. I already have the new Mage book, and it's actually pretty good. I wouldn't exactly call it better than the previous incarnation, but it is much clearer and the backstory/metaplot is zippy. So now I guess I'll have to go ahead and get the new Vampire and Werewolf books to go along with it. And then I can buy up every other damn splat they throw out. I'm a junkie dammit!

This isn't the end of it either. There's a new version of Shadowrun out there. And I don't mean an update of the rules that clarifies a few minor issues - they didn't need one because I have that already. No, they up and made big rules changes that were readily obvious by a scan of the character sheet. Oy! I don't know if I'll be buying that one though.

I have a sick feeling that I will not be using any of these books. Sadness...

[Additional note, completely unrelated: I have also given in about the formatting thing and I'm letting the autoformat do this for me. Now I should feel both cheated and lazy. Oh wait, lazy was a given.]

Topic: It's all about me
I've been having that stupid argument thing in my head lately. It's not Eris this time, so I know it's just my brain in a bad mood. I've been having argumentative dreams too - dragging up small bits of bullshit and screaming at random people because of it. It's annoying, and this time I can't blame it on the infomercials.

It would be nice if this crap would relate to something useful, or if there was some sort of resolution coming from it, but so far all I'm getting is irritable. I don't want to play this game anymore. Figures that the dreams that do bother to be remembered are the ones that give me grief.
