Lord Bitweaver’s Journal, 27th of Colddark, 716 —
Over a week since my last journal entry. Glad I absolved myself of the original “every day” idea, or I’d feel like total crap right now. It’s been a roller-coaster bunch of days. I don’t really know what to make of my life right now, I admit; I haven’t been so busy with projects, socializing, and responsibilities ever in my 47 years that I can remember. Good thing? Bad thing? I don’t know.
We had our friend Quinn over for dinner and gaming last Wednesday, and it was a joy to have a friend over as always. The new copy of “King of Tokyo” got some entertaining use, and I played my first game of “Star Munchkin” in ages – winning literally by accident.
The next day our friend Tony came for the whole weekend, barely beating a winter storm that gave me my first working day from home on Friday. We played more “King of Tokyo” – that was a wise purchase – and managed to get out of the house Saturday to see “Black Violins” perform in nearby Greenville. That was money well spent: I had a great time.
I did find out that it’s time to retire the old “Dirty Pair: Project EDEN” dub we worked so hard on back in the day. Between our untrained voice acting skills, the poor multi-generation copy, and other flaws when compared to the slick work you see on Crunchyroll these days, it’s just not accessible. Perhaps one day I’ll try something like that again, but for now that flick is headed for the vaults.
Two ReGeneration Who internet meetings, Sunday and tonight, have gone well. We are behind where we wanted to be, but ahead of where we feared we’d be, so calling it a win at the moment. I’ve done a ton of work there in the last few days, building spreadsheets and a web survey form. Not to brag, but I’m glad I’m quick on the uptake at least in some areas.
And the best news: Roxy got a job! She starts Monday, and a whole lots of the financial pressure will come off. This looks like a decent position with a future, unlike last year’s crap job. I’m super excited. This will be good for the both of us, and she’s deserved it for ages.
Tomorrow is the Gender Rebels meeting at the cupcake shop, and this weekend I’m helping a friend move, heading to my mom’s to clean up her apartment, and attending another two staff meetings. Somewhere in there I need to start writing Managlitch Episode Nineteen. So, the journaling will happen when it happens.
I’m not bored.
