Play the Game

Went to the airport clinic, and they sent me to Physical Therapy. Surprising how quickly I felt better. Which is good because I'm sleeping for crap between the ambient noise and the discomfort. Things looking up on that count. Plus a few diet cokes to get me through the rest of today, and some sort of relaxing pill for just before bed for a few days.

So yeah. Diet Coke. And thinking about my game, which had its most recent session on Sunday and I really should get a write up done while I still remember stuff. But I'm already working on plotting the next adventure (Next weekend should wrap up 'Start the Revolution Without Me'). I am concerned with party unity, and was trying to think of ways to bring them more together. I'd put a lot of work into a plotline where they are required to work together by a boss who offers them a lucrative position working for hir. And about twenty minutes ago, I thought to myself "Fuck that shit. You know what brings a party together? Pain. Terror. Fear. Isolation. Feeling helpless. The threat of death and the reminder of mortality." So I am now scribbling notes frantically and slamming together what I suspect is now the next adventure. Trying to work on plot ties to people besides Diego, who is a convenient plothanger because (a) his player has a schedule which allows her to be consistenly present (b) his player has provided me with a lot of juicy places to plant hooks.

PS: Yay I finally get to use my 'writing/creative' icon. (:

PPS: Any of my weird music friends who have recommendations on really creepy music, especially... vocals that sound like they're made by people in pain? I'm looking for creepy/beautiful here. Let me know. Damn, this may be a Hallowe'en gaming session as good as my Ar Noir Let's Go to Hell session. (:

A SILVER MOUNT ZION'S "13 ANGELS STANDING GUARD ROUND THE SIDE OF YOUR BED." Freaking creepy.

I have never heard of them.... Hrmmmmmmm.

I'm sorry, I suck. I will upload that MP3 for you tomorrow, as soon as I get home from work.

Also, your icon makes me *squee*!

You do not suck. (I should be so lucky...) And there is no rush on the mp3. (: As you can see, I have other things that can occupy my time.
This is my only other Shepherd icon at the moment. I use it for when I have been bounced into the river and am cold and wet and somebody is throwing rocks at me. (:

Oh! I heart it, I do!

*squee*

mmm, pain and terror... FUN!

Yay, !Diego!

I mean, really. I like the attention. But I need it to go elsewhere for a while. :)

Game! Game! Game!

Also: uh oh. :)

As I mentioned in my response to Klae, getting some attention off Diego for a session or two would be nice, simply because both of us need to process some of what's been going on. :)

I'm not one of your weird music friends, but the first thing I thought of was the Emperor's theme music from Return of the Jedi (especially his death scene).

Note to self: Need to make one of the babillion Damien Thomas screen caps into a Diego icon.

Oh boy. (: This next adventure may not be good for sitting back and relaxing.

New Icons

Did you switch to a Pooh theme?

Nah. I just made two new icons, and they make Rowan go *squee* and I find that attractive. (:

I made some Pooh icons (http://www.erinyes.org/spencer/humbug/Pooh/icons.php), but I don't use them, myself. I suppose I should upload my new ones to the website.

Pretty!

Tibetan throat chanting monks sound incredibly cool yet completely disconcerting. The piece I am thinking about was used near the end of an episode of season one in Six Feet Under... let me consult the HBO website to see if they have it listed -- nope can't find it. But check out "Gyuto Monks" on iTunes Music Store...

Checking them out now... Looks like 'Freedom Chants' is on Rhapsody. (:

Hee. I love that, since they're selling the music on a 'per track' basis, this entire album is $2.97 since it's only three 25 minute tracks.
