Ok, the title thing has already gotten ridiculous. But, like all geniuses I will suffer for my art.
I made pancakes this morning. Pancakes for breakfast is quickly becoming a mote of happiness in my household as they're yummy, easy to make, but still require a bit of work which makes me feel that I've accomplished something. I gave Miranda a few small bits, which she enjoyed and I'm looking forward to having a three-person breakfast.
I got a call today from one of the temp agencies I'm involved with and they have a job lined up for me. It'll just be a 5-week job answering phones for Amerigroup. I'm hardly excited about it, but I'm looking forward to working again. Just some sort of paycheck. I've worked two days since the beginning of August. We're doing ok, but we're one minor misfortune from being hobos. Well, maybe not, but still.
Speaking of Miranda, she's doing quite-well-thanks-for-asking. We're planning on getting Christmas pictures of her taken soon, maybe next week. My mother had planned to do it last month, but obviously couldn't thanks to the accident. We have a dress and hat picked out, and plan on picking up tights and shoes pretty soon. Maybe this weekend.
Shea let me borrow Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth for Xbox... One? Classic? Origional Flavor? Anyway, I own the PC version of it, but didn't get far because it played like I was trying to push the main character through molasses. The XBox version is already much more responsive and I look forward to witnessing Jack Walters spiral into insanity.
Speaking of Call of Chthulu, it's terribly unfortunate that Chaosium has, though the CoC role-playing game and Arham Horror has cemented the form of Lovecraft's creatures. His descriptions of the various entities went into the bizzare and upserd because they were meant to be beyond description. His descriptions were meant to be a gist. A "kinda-sorta" but instead we're subjected to a winged cucumber with a starfish for a head. While I have enjoyed the various games built around ol' H.P.'s work, a Yithian is a stupid thing to behold.
