3:57 pm	Twilight: Civilizations Hello! I'm running a new Twilight game, not unlike the one I posted about a year and a half ago. That game lasted almost a year and everyone involved seemed to have enjoyed themselves thoroughly. I sure did, which is why I'm doing it again. This time, I'm running it with an assistant via a messageboard, in order to keep all of the information more neatly organized and accessible. Twilight is a game of gods- of partially omnipotent beings who shape the world to their whims. Players will have the opportunity to create a god and people from their imagination and steer their people from nothing to virtually anywhere they'd like to take them. There are currently a few openings left if anyone is interested in participating. ( Read more if you might be interested...Collapse ) Cheers! Current Mood: creative (2 Comments \|Comment on this)

1:51 pm	Can I really make a post? I use LJ rarely. When I use it, the primary purpose is to keep up with the goings on of other folks. I do try to post at least one thing every... six months it looks like. I'm alive, well and happy. Work and graduate school are pleasant. Personal life is rather more than pleasant. Intercon G was this weekend. Playing in four LARP games and running a fifth LARP game makes for a busy weekend. I enjoyed myself thoroughly (of course). I was: - Felicio (Felix) Gonzales in World's End. - Numerius in SPQR. - A GM in Fire on High. - Iunius in Orgia. - Horde in Collision Immanent! I appreciated the generally quiet, but constant internal workings of Felix the most. It was a fun role in a great game. I generally enjoy plot-light, character-heavy games, though they tend to be relatively few and far between. I couldn't honestly complain about a single game though. From the rather less introverted Numerius to the frantic Iunius to the madness of a multitude of horde characters, I had a great time. Current Mood: exhausted (1 Comment \|Comment on this)

2:23 pm	Grad School bounce I finally received word that I have been accepted into Simmons Graduate School of Library and Information Science for the Fall. Two application misfiles and one accidentally shredded document later, it is finally official. Oh, and while I'm at it, I might as well mention that I'm working for Harvard's Widener Library and Google over the summer as part of the Google Book Search project.

8:16 am	Back to WA for two weeks This is just a short note to announce that I'll be back in Bellingham, WA between December 28th and January 10th. This will be my first trip back since I moved to the Boston area almost two years ago. Anyone that will be in the area and feels like saying hey is welcome to drop me a line.

6:00 pm	Twilight: A PBEM game of deities There is a particular type of play-by-email games that I got hooked on eight years ago that all but disappeared over the past couple of years. These games were known as Twilight games, though I have no clue why they were initially called that. The gist of the games are that each player creates and portrays a deity. At the onset of the game each deity creates a species. From there the deities direct the path of their followers and the world they inhabit. The greater the belief in each deity, the greater the power at their disposal. The game is mostly free-style storytelling with the person running the game providing brakes and reality checks where it is appropriate. After being disappointed by a recently started version of one of these games, I have decided to start my own. Some of the basic information about this can be found here. If you are interested in playing read over the information and contact me with the information requested on the page. If you have questions you can leave a message here or contact me by email.

10:22 pm	New home The move is over. I'm now dwelling in a wonderful abode in Somerville. The move went surprisingly well and I'm 90% of the way unpacked. I suspect I'll be living here a few years, which means no more moving for awhile. Life is good. Current Mood: happy (4 Comments \|Comment on this)

8:37 am	If you'd like to you can sign a petition to the Weare Board of Selectmen here. These five people will determine whether or not to seize Justice David Souter's New Hampshire farmhouse in Weare through eminent domain so that Lost Liberty Hotel can be built.

2:06 pm	Free tickets! I acquired six free movie tickets that need to be used by the end of this month. Despite hearing mixed reviews, I would like to go see The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The tickets didn't cost me anything, so I figure it's worth my time. I'm taking one of the tickets and emp42ress will be taking another. That leaves four tickets that are up for grabs. I am inclined to make use of the tickets either Friday evening, early Saturday afternoon, Sunday evening, or Monday evening. Is there anyone that would be interested in grabbing a free ticket and joining us in the outing? What times would you be available? Current Mood: geeky (2 Comments \|Comment on this)

9:26 am	Time? What is this Time thing? So... Today I will be taking my last two finals for this semester. I work tomorrow, plan on using Saturday to recover from this week, and have game on Sunday. After that, because I have yet to find meaningful employment, I will once again have this thing called Time. It will exist and I will not know what to do with all of it. Suggestions on what to do with it are most welcome. On a side note, because I have yet to find meaningful employment for the summer, I will likely be relying on various studies for income. The big one will likely be a 32-day sleep study for which I would receive $6230. My acceptance into this study is still pending, so the timeline for it is as of yet unknown. (Comment on this)

5:56 pm	Science-fiction The things that we can do continues to amaze me. I think one of the most fascinating things about living in this time period is seeing parts of the science-fiction stories come true. We have transparent aluminum. We have computers linked into people's brains. We can regrow teeth. Next we have: ( Tricorders, DNA with three base pairs, and controlling the minds of flies Collapse ).

7:43 pm	Advance directives I suspect that there are a number of people out there who are interested in finding out about advance directives (living wills and health care proxies). The link is to a site where you can find the forms you need as well as information on how to complete them and have them registered for free or for a low fee. I found the site helpful so I thought I would share it with others. Current Mood: thoughtful (Comment on this)
