    world news
    So I have been following the events in Iran.

    I was hoping to be wrong but it looks like it is not to be. Anytime people with rocks are fighting those with guns the rock throwers lose.

    I wonder if/how this will be mentioned in history books.

    rain and sun
    Rain:

    Storms seemed to have severly screwed up my internet and phone service at home. I have to elave work early today so I can be available at home between 5 and 8. Desk top can't connect to either router or modem. laptop can't connect to modem. Phones talk, static out and die. fun times

    CEW went into a screaming fit at 1:00 am last night and continued until about 2. I suspect teeth since neither food nor diaper change seemed to help. Avril ended up driving to get infant oragel while I walked with the nhappy one. Or perhaps was finally over the stuff optometrist used to dialate her eyes and was very unhappy about it (She slept alot earlier)

    Sun:

    Her eye appointment went well and the doctor believes that only her iris is effected (not her optic disc or nerve) He said that her likly issues will be some blurring of vision which we won't know an extent until she can talk to us, light sensitivity which we knew already, and some difficulty in looking up (she will have to raise her head rather then just her eyes)

    so it does seem like we failed one chance roll in her having the bilateral coloboma but succeeded on the second roll to reduce severity.

    Now back to work

    Gabriel's findings at the gathering this weekend
    One of the things I am amusing myself with is going to Facade.com and getting a general reading for characters the day of the event to see how their event will go. amusingly enough, Taryn's last one was interestingly accurate reading back on it (yes I know reading something ahead influences the outcome) still alot of fun though.

    hehe I broke it
    You Are An ENFJ
    The Giver

    You strive to maintain harmony in relationships, and you usually succeed.
    Articulate and enthusiastic, you are good at making personal connections.
    Sometimes you idealize relationships too much - and end up being let down.
    You find the most energy and comfort in social situations ... where you shine.

    In love, you are very protective and supporting.
    However, you do need to "feel special" - and it's quite easy for you to get jealous.

    At work, you are a natural leader. You can help people discover their greatest potential.
    You would make a good writer, human resources director, or psychologist.

    How you see yourself: Trusting, idealistic, and expressive

    When other people don't get you, they see you as: Bossy, inappropriate, and loud


    Yep totally me right?

    wow
    It was amazing, Avril and I were able to sleep in the same bed and we both got 6 hours of uninterupted sleep.

    In related news CEW slept from 11 pm to 5 am, or if she woke up in that time she was quiet and put herself back to sleep. She might have slept for another 30-60 minutes more if the evil alarm hadn't gone off.

    I don't expect such a wonderous thing again for awhile but it was nice to see that it is possible. :)

    Oh and FoD is this weekend

    FoD post
    So this weekend is Forest of Doors and I am getting to go and play Taryn after being away from the game for 6 weeks. It promises to be a challenging event. In a moment of amusement seeking I went to facade.com to see how Taryn's tarot reading might go for this gather

    tarot results for Taryn regarding this weekends gathering:

    sadness is...
    discovering that Fringe has been canceled again because the president is talking on the TV.

    Okay so there are worse things but really, why can't he talk on a wednesday or friday night when I am not watching TV?

    thought on what was actually said floating around in my head but are still in the process of putting words together. Perhaps will post those later.

    LARP realization
    One of the commonly seen events in LARPs is the in-game auction. From the plot perspective it makes alot of sense. It allows some item the PCs might need to be introduced, it can open a plot-line and can provide goods the town needs. Additionally, it pulls in game miney and other wealth out of the PCs hands and re-stocks monstertown and honestly there are players that really enjoy participating and watching a good bidding war.

    Now with that said I have never really liked in-game auctions. This is because they often take a good amount of time in the day, require a good amount of plot members/NPCs to field questions and make sure the goods don't get borrowed before the auction and honestly because I have never been in a position to bid on things.

    this got me to thinking about why I never had money to bid in auctions and I came to realize that all of my characters have had some aversion to in game money.

    Mathus had a terrible addiction to sorcerous crystals so everytime he had two hawks to rub together they went to the imbuers. Marc collected a great deal of money but would then turn around and hand it off to people just as quickly and poor Edwin can't seem to keep is cloak from being destroyed.

    Taryn (FoD) is the closest to a money keeper but even there he is less likely to have money than to have some (often large) number of herbs, gems, and alchemical items.

    Then there is Gabriel (Portals) He would likely have a good amount of money if he would quit using it to power ceremonies.

    so yeah, perhaps it is not the presence of the auction that I don't like, but the reminder that my characters are terrible with money.

    lunch time conversation
    "You do realize you are a bit nutty right?"
    "No I am not!"
    "You're married to me remember?"
    "The drugs I was on were really really good."

    *pause for a funny look*

    "Seriously though, I married you because the end of the world is supposed to be here 2012 and in all the disaster movies the people hanging with the scientists survive."

    "...so it wasn't for my dashing good looks?"
    "no"
    "but they were an added bonus right?"
    "um, sure whatever."

    hhmm
    tonight is one of those evenings where working for the umbrella corporation sounds really appealing. Minus the whole, everyone is sealed in and killed when here is a viral exposure.

    Nothing is particularly wrong I am just feeling like I should be destined to bigger things than specialist in a core facility.

    *sigh* still no super powers...

    traveling through Knoxville
    Avril and I will be driving through Knoxville on Sunday on our way back to ATL from parents home. Is anyone interested in meeting us for lunch. (ideally those without kids who may have chicken pox as Cailen isn't vaccinated yet and infant chckenpox would be no fun)
