Midas in my touch, and Delilah in my hair

So Megs finally gave up and got sick of the whatever it is yesterday. No gaming. I went over to deliver juice to her (the maternal instincts kicking in right on schedule), and hung out and watched anime before Cindy took me over to Drew's to sit in the hot tub. And since I'd just done laundry and failed to put my money, my ID or my *KEYS* back in my trousers, I ended up having to crash back at Avalon last night.
Which meant I pretty much spent the day there, babysitting Megs and working on some new D&D-esq fantasy adventure game that got stuck in my head during the Algorhythm game. The idea is to have something very low maintenance that we can just sort of pick up and play when people can't make it to Wednesday gaming, or when we're between other games.
So anyway. Today was therefore the first day in three weeks that I haven't essentially been sitting by the phone waiting in case a job calls to ask me out. And of course it's the day that Jessica from HK calls and says 'call me back in ten minutes because I have a job'. Very frustrating.
Thought I'd found my Lee Press On CD which was lost somewhere over at Avalon, but it turned out to be just an empty jewel case. Sigh.
Got another lecture on how I should learn to drive. I was very polite and didn't bite.
And I got a new person in my 'friends' file today--I'm not certain who she is, but she's semilocal. (Santa Cruz)

Mlah!

Feeling stupid. I came home at ten so I'd get lots of sleep. I'm still up. I promised to go over tomorrow and help Avalon set up for the LARP thing they're hosting.
We went up to Berkeley today, and had a BBQ costume picnic on the bay. It was lovely out, if a little sunny, and there was prodigious amounts of food. I also went for a fitting on my cassock, which is nearly done.
When we got back into town, I retrieved my LPN CD which had been found out in the guest house, and soon I'll play it to find out if it's been damaged to the point of needing replacing.
Keeping busy without really accomplishing much. Megs and I talked about money stuff, and I didn't clam up defencively. Too much. I think I'll have to move off Best. I'll talk to Tony about setting up mail and telnetting stuff.
