I’ve missed the last couple of days for updating, and I feel bad. But that’s in the past. Let’s concentrate on the thoughts right now. And I will start that by reviewing anything interesting that’s happened in the last couple of days.
I went to the live improvised soap opera, Die-Nasty on Monday. The show was good, but not great. They seemed to be missing several cast members that night.
Other than that I’ve been busy with D&D. One of my players is making a new character. He has been playing someone else’s character, but now that we are in a good spot, we determined he could make his own. I’ve been liking what he’s been coming up with. But since he wants to play a cleric, I have to quickly sort out my religions in the game. Thats the one area of my world that I don’t think I’ve fleshed out enough. So I’ve been scrambling to give him something to work with.
This evening I went running with the Running club. I’ve been slacking off lately so I felt a little more out of breath than usual. I’m hoping that goes away soon. I tried out my heart rate monitor, and it felt strange. I think it may either be affecting my heart, or it’s giving me tiny electric shocks. Neither option sounds good.
After the run, I had to rush off, because tonight was my book club meeting. It’s a very informal club that only reads science-fiction and fantasy. We don’t do deep discussions. It actually seems more like an excuse to go out and eat at a restaurant, while nominally discussing the book. We had just finished Joan D. Vinge’s “The Snow Queen”. It was a good book. It took me awhile to get into it, but once I got past the start and knew who the various characters were, I sailed through it. In an interview with the author she said she based it loosely off the snow queen story by Hans Christian Anderson. I was the only one in the group familiar with that story. My heritage is Danish, so I had it forced down my throat at an early age. 🙂
The next book is going to be “In Conquest Born” by C.S. Friedmann. I didn’t see it at Chapters, so I’m going to have to look elsewhere.
So that’s the update of my life. I have no deep interesting thoughts to share with anyone. I’m feeling very shallow right now.
