Exhausted. And kind of numb. I'm sure there are things I could be feeling right now, but I don't have the energy. Or something. I am, however, not sick. For the first time in almost two weeks. This is a good thing.

Game last night went okay. It turned out that I didn't have nearly as much gameplot as I should have, because only one person out of two showed up and character creation didn't take nearly as long as I expected it to, considering it took up most of the night last time. This time it barely took up any time. I went around and prologued/preluded people, brought them into game, got them to the site. They completely dropped a plot point I'd thrown at them, so phooey there. -1 karma for being entirely unobservant! Or maybe just -1 karma to the one character who noticed for not going "hey, there's something here that's really kind of unusual and wrong" to the rest of the people. Plus, I'm going to kill the boy for not making his character until the last minute and then making a really, really ... problematic. Questionable character. Like a dryad. With gremlins. Those are the kinds of things you actually ask the GM about before game. Not AT game.

So, yeah. Tired. Game ended at 11.30, the last hour and a half of that, maybe two hours, being just conversation. Spent the next three hours or so painting and listening to Serenity in the background. Feeling kind of stupid and mediocre for not having enough game plotted, but. GUH. Never counting on those two girls for game again. Plan to work aroudn them, but not counting on them.

Today, at least, I don't have work. I have the house to myself which is not helping my mood at all. But I woke up, got something to eat, turned on the TV and there was Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Which was all right until they got to the conversation about death. Then it was even more depressing. Am showered. Have eaten. I may actually paint before I start writing. Or... something. I need a better knight of ghost and shadows icon.

Observations while painting.

Pill bottles make very good toothpick holders.

Try the wash before you start drybrushing the supposed top layers.

Listening to The Crow in the background is not going to make you feel better.

Drink the ice water. Rinse with the paint water.

If the paint isn't coming out of the bottle even when you shake and squeeze, there's a good reason for that. Pry off the nozzle top and have a look and a poke around before the paint explodes everywhere, plskthnx.

Eat the cookie, not the brush. Or the mini.

Don't overload the brush.




Non-painting things:

I am not doing that window thing.

Apricot cookies are good.
