A good way of staying up too late

It would be hard to explain how this affected me, but I almost cried. This is really cool and more people need to do it:

I found that via DetentionSlip.org, a blog I read about the horrific state of some of our school. I won't call it good, but they made a good point in the blurb they wrote about it. This can be done for a couple hundred dollars (probably quite a lot less), and it would make a truly amazing experiment for class.

Things appear to be... shifting. Up until recently my Friday-Sunday schedule was completely filled. DnD on Friday, GURPS on Saturday and Calc/Chem-splosion on Sunday (usually spilling over into Monday). Dnd and GURPS have both been dropped. While the Calc/Chem-splosion is still there, I also need to study-face the calc-book until it bleeds (the book not me. I'll have bled dry by then). I've also been picked up into a singularly epic GURPS group on Saturday, which technically offsets the previous GURPS being dropped, but I don't know. It just generally feels like everything is changing.

I'm ranting....

We're also trying to set up a regular meal plan. I'm cooking Monday and Tuesday. Clinton cooks Sunday and Friday. Wednesday is leftovers, and we'll see what happens for Thursday and Saturday, but we should be fine.I'm not worried about Clinton holding up his end, he's really reliable, but I worry about holding up my end... We'll see how it works.

The GURPS group is amazing. I don't expect any of you to understand this, but it's a Stalker module. Stalker is a pretty cool game set in post-Chernobyl... uh... Chernobyl... It's a science-fiction thriller deal based off the novel Roadside Picnic (or alternately, the novel Stalker, based of the movie Stalker, based off the novel Roadside Picnic), where bizarre "phenomenon" manifest like natural traps. My favorite, and the one I always use to exemplify these phenomenon, is called a whirligig. It's a sort of gravity well that, when objects (or people) get within it's radius, draws them spiraling inward, faster and faster until they get ripped apart by the centrifugal forces. I mention this, because the group I'm playing with is HEAVILY focused on roleplay, and it brings out the contrast between the GURPS system and DnD. The long and the short of it is that I'm having a TON of fun, and I've started trying to collect our adventures in written form on my adventuring blog:

I'm up far too late at this point, so I'll call that quits.
