the kangaroo communique --> back-up style!

So Panzer Division tackled its first session for seranx's Atropal War, and from the way I see it things went swimmingly. Congratulations, all, and thanks especially to miguel_zeruel for joining the DM team and cpon_prod for helping the boys set up the playing field (and providing those wonderful character markers!). :3

Was supposed to go swimming with the folks this morning, but I couldn't rouse myself in time -- my hours at the part-time and the weather are both making it extremely difficult to wake up before 10:30, or 11:00 if I sleep particularly early, as in morning hours early night before. Aidan!Laptop's giving me some trouble because of some Trojan, but I THINK it's been cleaned up. I THINK. I'm running another scan with another program just to be absolutely certain.

Now how I got that Trojan? No clue. Flashdisk!Rethe is perfectly clean. *checked how many times?*

Mass in the afternoon -- I don't think it'll be in Tagalog, and really, that's a good thing. The choir they get for the 4:30 PM mass in my community is really sucky, and the priests usually aren't all that either... those factors are enough of a brain fry for me. Now what more if I couldn't fully understand the celebration? @_@

Before I bugger about that, I'm going to wind down a bit and read up on World of Darkness and all the other White Wolf systems under it some more. While nothing can beat the good old high fantasy and hack n' slash of Dungeons & Dragons, I feel that WoD is a system more suited to my tastes and to the fact that numbers and I just don't get along.

On other news, Litsoc is supposed to have its Plansem at my house tomorrow and nobody -- and I mean nobody -- seems to have taken any initiative towards setting things in stone.

Because I like pretty flashy interweb thingies~





I suddenly find myself chasing deadlines, self-imposed or otherwise. o_o

April 25: Encode all the backlogged campaign stuff for WoD. Module 1 has some edits done to it, and I cooked up a lot of shit for the second module and beyond while I was at the STAR the other day.
April 26: Campaign for the World of Darkness crowd. Make sure to have everything printed and (hopefully) a hard copy of the source book at hand, beyond the laptop.
April 27: Deadline for submissions to Issue #2 of India & the Conundrum. On my end, that means the revised version of Endtimes, Chapter 2.
April 28: Panzer Division Campaign. ultra_arvin, gimme your address! D:

I still haven't been able to get back to the work I started on the world and other important background information for Apocalypse Please... I have the first part of the history down, and I've edited and listed down all of the important locations -- I've even got their political systems down, and have taken note of important characters from their end. There are still drabbles in my notebook waiting to be transferred also. ._. *sadness*

Right now I'm sitting around at the office, killing time before my Dad and I hop down to the shooting range. The computer I'm using's on Ubuntu. *proud to be familiar and comfortable with the OS now*

Barrion Heritage Tour tomorrow for us Punzalans. Rachel is coming along~~~ she's making her character for the World of Darkness campaign right now as I post this. Anyway.

PANZER DIVISION: As I have constantly outlined in my y!m status message (yes, cousin, I know it's not technically a status -_-), the next campaign date is set for APRIL 28, SATURDAY. We do NOT have a venue. I repeat: we do NOT have a venue. Any takers?

WORLD OF DARKNESS PARTY: Character creation is ongoing at this moment, and we need to set a date for the first session. Please let me know when all of you are free. ALSO, join the board at Happy Pending for future announcements.

...On that note, all gamers on my flist are welcome to join the board. It's geared towards tabletop gaming, among other things.

Today was my busiest day at the STAR yet. I encoded 10++ press releases, answered a shitload of phone calls and edited some stuff too. *feels oddly refreshed because of it*

I think I'll go back to encoding campaign stuff now. I've been in God Mode a lot these days, and I'm not just referring to the campaigns. *proud of the stuff she's doing for Apocalypse Please* I really, REALLY should encode those backlogged drabbles though... came up with a new set earlier this week.

I should've posted about this last night, but the article I had to write kept me occupied. I honestly think what I put out was shit. >_> So, if you want to read shit, watch out for it in the Lifestyle section sometime this week.

Anyway, the Tarlac trip was even more interesting than I thought it'd be... slept for an hour on both the trips coming there and going back, but given that I'd only slept five hours, that was expected.

Warning. Teh hueg pictures underneath the cut.

( Peter says I should get a Multiply account. )

The funny thing about this is I nearly didn't go. As yukitsu partially witnessed since she was online with me at the time, my knee acted up last Tuesday, and Mom had a Mother Moment. To make a long story short, she wanted to send Dad to cover my assignment for me.

Yep, I would have died of embarassment. I told them as much.

Now, on the knew, and other sometimes bad things that happened today.

• Mom made me push back DM planning for the doctor's appointment. Mom also freaks out when she discovers I'm a lone girl going to a guy's house to meet with him and one other guy. From today I have learned the virtue of the occasional safe lie to tell parents.
  
• I make miguel_zeruel and seranx scramble a bit to find a female beyond miguel_zeruel's immediate female family members or his girlfriend to be with me. I end up dragging yukitsu over to make sure I don't cancel the thing altogether. Sorry about that, minna. >_>
  
• Doc tells me to get an MRI. DM planing pushed back again. MRI was long and not as scary as medical dramas crank it up to be, and I get my results tomorrow. May get left behind over the weekend while the rest of my family goes to Puerto Galera. ._.
  
• DM planning eventually ensues after yukitsu and I arrive there after 5:00 PM. Ph33r, Panzer Division. Ph33r.
  

House has cursed me. I'm suddenly getting all these sicknesses and conditions now that I'm following the series. =_= *wants to watch episode 16 anyway*

On another note, Air was better than I thought it'd be. MUCH better. Shouldn't have watched the TV series first though, because the campy animation of the movie turned me off, especially since it basically tells the same story as the anime. The only difference is that it has an even sadder ending. .__.

...I'll go draw up that long overdue mod post for LO now.
