Moop. I am Fat and Lazy and Minging, and my tienelle has run off home where he doesn't have enough 'net access, or run off to eat food with Kendo types where he also doesn't have enough 'net access, or generally Is Not Around. I am still missing a Dragon-Blooded book and need to organise an Expedition to steal one, as I'm running the game Next Weekend, but have no tuits and no people online to pester.

I have agreed to go swimming tomorrow as part of a Campaign To Be Less Than Nine And A Half Stone Again. Of course, then I christened this campaign by eating several metric tons of Chinese food.

In less moopy news, I went and raided the charity shops of Braintree once again, and lo, they did not disappoint; I have a *brown tiger-print suit jacket*. And some over-tops with pretty patterns, and a lovely skirt, and another nice top, and a brilliant peasent dress, and a car-seat-cover made of wooden beads which I have no idea what to do with but was forced to buy because of its extreme coolness. I have vague visions of wooden-bead armour - it's like wooden chainmail! And I made all my boxes ready to go away, except they can't go away until tomorrow afternoon so there is still no space in my room.

Stars! is hopelessly addictive. And actually quite dull, but *still addictive*. I wasted hours playing it earlier today. I'm still useless at it, which is probably why it's dull as well.

Um. I need an extra life in which to play computer games so I stop using up as much of this one doing so.

Awww. Well, Tom ran off to do Voles and is in Wales with no 'net... but he'll be back soon (hope).

And me, I'm in a quest to weigh less than 11 stone when I go back to college... so feel good about your weight.

You are not Minging.

I have a D n D book that prolly no one else has can you guess what it is?

I will play your share of computer games as well as mine if you like?

I ran out of spod, and ended up playing Torment. So I had 'net access, but didn't use it. And suffered repeated party death - "All pile in, even the mages" doesn't really work against anything much harder than vargouilles. So I missed, to my cost, a ChessyPig, who, incidentally, would have to put in some serious effort to ming at all. That sentence may have used up my comma allocation for the day. Fortunately it's now tomorrow.

If you can't manage a DB game, you could always turn it into a Lunars game. Only cosmetic changes necessary... But you should definitely Expedish, regardless.

I maintain that thousands of (admittedly mostly fictional) Chinese masters of the martial arts can't be wrong, and Chinese food is in fact very good for you. And more can only be better...

Yay! Stuff! I'm not sure how wooden-bead armour would work, though - its structure seems to channel blows towards the joins between the beads.

Stars! is quite dull. Most of your work for each turn could easily be automated, but there's no framework for doing so. It's possible Supernova, the sequel, fixes this. That said, I need Wine to work, that I may play Stars!

There is crawly-slow dial-up at home; I'll attempt to mix this with Snowplains at some point over the weekend.

I should stop trying to make up for missed chatter and lose consciousness.

Ah, but I have a Plot which requires Dragon-Blooded to work, because the Circle is meant to be rescuing their parents from some nasty Lunars.

The fictional Chinese masters of the martial arts did not eat English copies of Chinese food. Actual Chinese food isn't quite so bad.

Wooden-bead armour *doesn't* work. It does, however, look cool. I might be off to a random LARP event sometime in September in which I shall be a dryad, and so wooden armour is the way forwards.

Anyway, you will be home Monday evening in order for an expedition to actually gain entry to the house?

I fail to see how "rescuing parents from nasty Lunars" in any way rules out lunars.

I will be Reliably Back from 5.30. With a PowerBook.

18 Stone. You can all go to hell.

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

But you can still like me, then? :)

Feh. You're taller than me, and male. These things make it count less.

[edith-the-hutt.livejournal.com]

Chess, you're a sodding matchstick. Put more wieght on.

And no, being male does not make it count less. That is an unfair generalisation.
