A productive weekend--imagine that! Tore through a big chunk of the Secret Thing, which as we all know is a game about a certain specific time in the future. Tearing through, of course, means that I wrote up descriptive stuff but skimped on the nuts-and-bolts rules. That will come soon, probably at 5:30 some morning...
A friend of mine in Brooklyn had a bunch of us over Saturday for another kind of gaming. Somehow he'd hot-wired a bunch of makeshift PCs into a LAN, and ran hours and hours of Quake II. I haven't played a first-person shooter in some time and found myself getting nauseous within a few minutes. Not so nauseous as to stop ripping my buddies to shreds, but hey.
Heard from another dear buddy, a mad scientist who is trying to turn molecules into Eskimo pies. (As Gore Vidal said of J.D. Salinger, "It is very cold where he lives...") We hadn't talked on the phone in ages, and it was great to get back into that groove--e-mail can only give you so much.
A pretty blah entry, but I think I used all my poetry on real life this weekend. More soon.
@ 7:46:00 PM,
