Had rabbit for the first time today. Now, maybe it was the peculiar way they spiced it, but I really couldn't eat very much of it at all. It tasted good, it's just that it somehow brought into disturbing clarity that I was indeed eating rabbit. Probably didn't help that they kept the meat on the bones, and you had to suck it off the ribcage... My friend put it very well. "I really don't want Southside (our diner) to be my first time trying something."
It has been far too long since I first tried my hand and DMing. The game went horribly because I was far to busy to help them set up their characters properly, I probably should have done quite a few things differently as well. It was only one encounter, and no plot happened, and a few of them seemed quite bored by the experience, then we all had to split because everybody had work to do. Recently, I've been significantly more active in building the dungeon and the advanture and I'm really looking forward to throwing these traps at them! I've been doing this in my spare time, instead of reading comics and the like. It helps, too, that Cole and I have been working together regularly, so not only do I consistantly get lots of work done, I also work on projects like these. That said, I've got something else dogging my mind. Near the beginning of the year, a friend and I made an effort to get involved with some sort of extra-curricular things that would eventually lead to good opportunities. This was at the suggestion of my eternally wise mother, and it would have been a great success too, if I hadn't exploded with work soon after. Problem is, it didn't stop. It never stops. I've been getting better and better to deal with this stuff in stride, but I'm far too busy to invest more than a few minutes at a time to any effort, and it's been neglected for so long. I guess I'm just having trepidations at how it looks to these people to have effectively dissapeared off the face of the earth and then pick it back up again. Still, it's much better to try and look bad than not to try at all.

You know, you *have* had rabbit at home (for supper, I mean), but we haven't in a long, long while... in part for obvious reasons...
ReplyDeleteSo THAT's what happened to that one rabbit we paired with Lucy...
