Lost Weekend
Well, it's late, but I'm in a writing sort of mood, so here I am. The muse is back upon me in full force. Heh, I think the bitch is making up for lost time! I feel scattered, trying to work in too many directions at once. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for the inspiration, but several more hours in a day to go along with it would be nice too. I'm working on a couple story ideas, not to mention trying to set up an archive of some sort with these entries, and maybe get my index page going. And then there's the usual stuff, like work and sleep and friends and such. I'm glad to have the creative parts of my brain working again, though. Jake and Elathan's story should seriously kick ass if I can do it justice. And I should be able to. This is a story I've been living for months now.
We are now in the middle of a massive Jo, Chris and Jeff weekend. It's been awesome so far. Gaming Friday night. My phrase for the evening was, "It's good to be the bitch." I'm still a little uncertain, but slowly and surely Nancy is making herself known - and what an awesome character she is. She's tossed into this unbelievable disaster, but stays cool (while her player freaks out!). What would you do if there was an Ebola outbreak being spread through bad heroin in your city, and you were the acting head of the FBI field office? Yeah, I didn't know either, but Nancy seems to have it under control. As one of the other characters warned someone, "I wouldn't get into a pissing contest with Nancy, she's got a bigger dick than you do." It's all about strong women.
Of course, having the University of Michigan Medical Center blow up in game was pretty cool too.
Today was pretty much a hang around day, we slept in at the house and went out for a late breakfast, then wandered through Crazy Wisdom, a sort of metaphysical book store. I found a couple things I needed/wanted, and got Jo her Christmas (Yule? Solstice? Holiday?) present. I also found a silver Celtic knotwork ring, which I have been coveting for years now.
And then, of course, tonight was the Christmas party for work. I ended up sharing my date (Jeff) with Jo, because hers couldn't come due to a medical emergency, and Chris (not her date, but her husband, are you confused yet?) was singing "The Messiah" with the Choral Union. We had a lot of fun just basically screwing around. Office Christmas parties are great, because you get to see what the people you work with are really like, especially if people start drinking. I work with a pretty fun group of folks. We didn't get rowdy, just very.... merry. Jello shots are fun, oh yes, they are.
Well, no earthshattering or especially thought-provoking statements beyond that. Just that Lisa is having a very good weekend, mostly away from the computer, yay me!
