As some of you may know through the social osmosis that is Twitter and MySpace/Facebook, I lost the job I had at Fulton Bank. It was a temporary position sure, but I was comfortable there and got along fairly well with my coworkers and did the best I could at it. According to my agent at AppleOne I was let go to be replaced by a college student. So it's been a week since I've worked and my mood has been up and down. I've been trying to find solace in the idea that it's hard all over and that many people are in a similar situation. It doesn't really help, but I keep trying.
Bahie let me borrow Lost Odyssey and I'm digging it so far (although for a bunch of immortals they seem fairly predisposed to crumpling over and dying).
I really, really want to be reading more. So far I'm 3/4 of the way through Bonehunters and 18 pages into Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell.

Beyond
Ok, yes. It has been nearly two months since my last post and for the ones and ones of you that read this blog, I apologize. Of course, since so much time has past it's going to be impossible for me to relate everything that's happened over that time.
So instead, I'll talk about a few things that have been going on recently:
Today, I'm sick. Maybe. I've been feeling off all day, and since both Miranda and my mother in law have had fevers, I assume the headaches and "swimminess" in my head are due to the on set of some sickness. Chance of it being the swine flu? Minimal.
So yes: Miranda has been sick. I came home Friday night looking forward to a fast and loose evening of not doing much and ended up spending a few hours of it at Patient First where I paid a $30 copay for them to take a few possibilities off the table (i.e. It's not strep or flu). So at the end of the weekend I had convinced myself and Amanda that it was side-effects of new teeth coming in. Then mom in law and myself come down with something, and now it's all weird. Miranda, on the other hand, was zooming around all morning without a care in the world. So at least she's feeling better.
As some of you may know, I host a Monday night gaming group where we've been enjoying a rousing Shadowrun campaign run by my buddy Nate. In it I play a Troll mafioso by the name of Slabber (as in, he puts people on slabs) who acts in most situations as either a negotiating liability or a meat turrett (he's terrifying with an assault rifle). Starting last week I shifted gears a bit at the table and started running a Feng Shui game. I had to cancel tonight's game as I am sick. However, I'm excited to be behind the GM Screen again and telling tales. I really enjoy running games because you can start off with a story in mind and have it shifting week to week as the players say and do things you'd never be able to prepare for.
I'm going to try to update again later this week and then keep it to an update a week after that. I also want to keep my community involved, so if there's a subject you'd like me to comment on, let me know.
