…Today I took the day off – I love flexi time. I spent the day wallowing in bed, spending time with my beloved, Kai and getting medieval on WoW players asses. I also got a fair whack of tidying done, put some laundry together for next week and generaly relaxed – somehting I haven’t done in what feels like ages. I also tried once more to deal with my car – turns out the garage ordered (or maybe recieved) the wrong part *GROWL* so the car won’t be ready until tomorrow, if I’m lucky.
…This Evening I ran a very short chapter of my NWOD game (due to a missing player), people’s minds weren’t really on the game so its just as well it was a short one. Afterwards we gen’d up their supernatural char sheets (they will need these soon) and got down to some serious board gaming. Now I like Shadows Over Camelot – I love the fact that its a bunch of Arthurian emo knights (they injure themselves to prevent bad things from happening and to get extra goes) – no offense intended; that go around and try to complete quests in order to save Camelot. I love the fact that I can make ‘Monty Pthon and the Holy Grail’ quotes whilst playing it but mostly I enjoy making my fellow players spray tea across the room at the humour the game invokes. For me tonight was a good night, we laughed, joked, we drank what felt like a sea of tea and Kai and I got to spend time with new (not a bad thing) but imho good friends.
…some stuff I have been involved in recently – Well Kai and I have finally met and made some friends down here and got an RP group running. Yay us! Currently we’re running NWOD and I think my players are enjoying it. We setup a wiki as a resource base at:

So feel free to check it out. Hopefully our next session will be on Friday…
We also have a car now (though it needs a new clutch and is in the garage at the moment – grr) which is fantastic and we’re hoping we’ll get some more really good use out of it soon. So far we’ve been to up to Edinburgh in it, over to the Forests of Dean and a couple of other places – I’m hoping for a trip to Cornwall sometime in the near future and at the weekend we’re planning a trip to Pitville Park (so Kai can see bunnies and squiggles and other cute little things that make her go ‘awwwww’ – no, not me.)
Life down here is pretty damn good, truth be told, currently we’re enjoying the nice, long, warm, sunny days (about 15-20 deg C. today) and has been for the last (and next few) days. So long may it continue!
I heard from me old chum Scott Dumycz today on his train home from London, he’s doing fairly well and said he was off to Brighton over the May day bank holiday with the gf….its the longest, full-time relationship I can ever recall him being in.
Anyway, Kai is pretty busy tonight lots of work for her to do, calls from the states and stuff so I’ll mostly be leaving her to just get on with it. I quite fancy going to the pub tonight but to be honest, money is prett damn tight at the moment – especially with the clutch to be fixed on the car! So it looks like I won’t be going anywhere in the evenings for the next few weeks :s
B5 Tonight – Gonna kill a ship.
A White Star, it now has my old Pinnace’s personality on it. This can’t be allowed. This is because its gone mad and very paranoid…
Oh and an apocolypse box is talking to me….
Time for character gen…again.
