QueueQueue - LiveJournal.comMy cousin is back in Iraq- January 28, 2008 Well now I actually have more than 2 minutes to try to let yall know how i'm doing over here. But yeah, it was also a little early there when i was writing. Right now we're basically gettin use to the place over here. It's more for the newer guys who don't have the shock and awe of being here in Iraq. But really, for the next day or two, all we'll be doing is eating, sleepin, and working out. But i definitely figured if i have to be here in hell all hot and sweaty, I might as well work out as...http://queue.livejournal.com/840583.html CSI: Boston- January 27, 2008 I talked to the police today. They have a suspect, but he claims that the GPS belongs to his girlfriend. Luckily, I still have the box, which has the serial number. This will allow the cop to take it from evidence tomorrow (the evidence guy isn't around on Sundays, I guess) and turn it on and then check to make sure the addresses on it match those that I gave him. And then we'll "go from there," whatever that means. No clue if I'll have to be any more involved in it (give a statement or...http://queue.livejournal.com/840205.html Live-Action Strange Synergy- January 27, 2008 Talking on the phone with magid last night, she suggested the idea of a live-action game of Strange Synergy (I made a felt board for it yesterday, to replace the paper board with huge creases), something more akin to human chess than to LARPing. We started talking about it a bit, and I think it might be a really fun thing to do with a group of people, maybe even at Arisia. I could come up with a fun way of representing the different powers, effects, and so on. I may have to get started on this..http://queue.livejournal.com/840031.html The short version (since I've already told the longer version several times)- January 27, 2008 Car broken into while parked near Davis Square. GPS stolen. Front driver's window smashed to hell (and I found a 3-lb barbell weight on the floor of the passenger's seat).Called police, and they had somehow recovered the GPS! I need to call back tomorrow to talk to the officer who handled it. No other details on that yet.I requested an appointment via an online form for a local glass company. Nobody seems to be open on Sunday, so I hope to have this taken care of Monday.Yes, I know that at...http://queue.livejournal.com/839654.html Moving right along- January 23, 2008 I'm holding in my hands (well, I set it down to type this) an advance copy of Quests: Design, Theory, and History in Games and Narratives. This is the third book to come out that is one that I acquired, and the fourth book will be coming out in a few more weeks. It's a pretty nice feeling. And the book is pretty, too.http://queue.livejournal.com/839181.html |
