Coming home to a clean house, which I didn’t do. Our cleaner started today. She’s a magical angel, the floors are all well vaccumed and mopped as appropriate and it’s shiny. Really shiny and nice. This is made of win. Weird ass dreams that make no sense but are awesome. Good roleplaying: Geiger Counter game [...]

Wednesday Writing

Celebration time! I just got past the 50,000 word count mark on my current novel. Woooo! I am about to reward myself with a bath, but first a little update on my writing since it’s Wednesday. Over the weekend I tried out the extreme portability of my new lappy and took it on the train [...]

Roller derby, Julie + Julia, spoonflower

Jenni — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 01:47:38 +0000

On the weekend I went to my first bout of the roller derby. It was insanely cool, the crowd was packed with geeks, the costumes were adorable, the game exciting and exhilarating. Plus there was beer! I went with a bunch of friends from work, since Goldie Scorn of Brutal Pageant is the sister of [...]

Actual play Fall ep 14 – Finding Somebody pt 1

No Norm this week, due to crazy levels of work, so the police just kept Darius in the station for the whole episode. I typed most of this while we played, so it should be much more accurate than last time’s one, which was patchy. After dark, Alex, Megan and Calvin are still in the [...]

Actual Play report Fall sp 13 – ‘Getting ahead’

Jenni — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 07:36:07 +0000

Darius wakes up and can’t remember where he is. That is, until there’s a knock at the door and Gina asks if he wants breakfast. Downstairs Calvin and Martha are talking and laughing over some inexplicable family joke that makes no sense to the others. Megan and Gina are giving them space. Darius has a [...]

Strawberry plants, in fact, my whole indoor garden. Let’s see a picture of it! That’s chilli plants in the front, sweetpea in the middle (flourishing) and strawberry plants furthest from the camera. I’m not sure if you can see but the strawberries are just starting to get a blush on. this Hallowe’en costume, call centre Spiderman [...]

Learned another thing this week. That is that I cannot rely on the wireless access switch on my laptop for my ‘turning off the internet’ trick. It’s way too easy to just switch it back on again. Nope, I have to actually get up and unplug my router, because I’m lazy enough that the whole [...]

Tiger Hat

Jenni — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 06:09:29 +0000

Man, I love my tiger hat. Blankets Owl looks rather dashing in it I think. Ultimate mind fuck confusion. A tiger? In a tiger hat? I don’t understand! Yeah, I look really tired. Work was insanely busy. But the tiger hat! Appreciate the tiger hat! Tagged: blankets owl owns my soul, I have no tag for [...]

Fright Night

Jenni — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 20:08:23 +0000

I’ve never signed up for Fright Night before, because I was too scared. True facts. I figured that if Wellington’s best roleplayers were specifically writing scary games then it would be an evening of terror. Plus, it was easy to justify this because it’s a very small convention and games fill up way fast and [...]

Random scattered TiLT this week, because that’s what my brain’s like. Today I am happy that I finished my character’s part of The Event. You should go and read it and comment with what you thought, because I love feedback of any description. Tiger Hat. Blankets Owl. Craft 2.0. Ordering stuff online, especially with gift [...]
