Yeah, it's been a while again, sorry 'bout that. Kinda busy around here. Just the usual, plus trying to get into gear for GMinga ninjas game.
And the players decided t ostart up before I had anything resembling a plot. hah. So I'm just gonna do training missions for a bit for character introductions and to try to get the players into the setting--none of them watch naruto, only one has been near a ninjas game before, so that could be a little awkward.
Also as a side note, I've got a new roommate (Tom) living in the basement here. He's got a huge flatscreen TV, and XBox 360, and watches anime. This could be fun :)
But in more immediate news:
Firstly, on Sunday I wake up to find my rear tire is flat.
I go out to investigate and I find that my bag & a TomTom gps that I could never get to work have been stolen from my car.
The thieves kindly took my water bottle & lotion out of the bag (left 'em scattered around the parking lot) and didn't touch my CDs or books in the back seat, and didn't take any paperwork out of the glove compartment.
(I'm very confused about that myself, but I'll get back to this part in a minute.)
Tom fortunately works at an auto parts store and has a background in fixing cars, so he was able to repair the tire--looks like I ran over a piece of pipe or something, it was kinda big and before we found it, the tire deflated pretty quickly when we tried inflating it again.
I've been keeping an eye on it and the patch he made has held up pretty well over the last couple days.
That night I went out and bought another duffle bag, and monday I got a hacksaw to take out the internal handle thing so it could fold up better and also replaced the dice that had been in it,
Then tonight some guy knocks on the door w/ my stolen bag and asks if it was mine--apparently it's been out behind his apt! It still had some mail in it with this address on, stuff that's gotten mistakenly forwarded here for my dad.
Plus he recognized that some of the papers in it were Shadowrun character sheets!! O_O that's something I never expect ^_^
Doesn't sound like he's played in a while, but he said to stop by & say hi sometime... so I'm trying to figure out how to do that. Too many coincidences here to ignore, after all!
So the overall results of this: I bought more dice and a smaller bag to replace one that's old and falling apart inside... and someone who used to play SR has said to stop by and say hi sometime. As soon as I can figure out how to do that without being a stalker, I intend to--can't not follow up on a lead like this, right?
PS to TGB: can I insert links in the "now playing" section? Cause I'm streaming a free album via bandcamp.com and it's interesting enough to link from here...
