The Big Question:

Bubbles or Not?

As I’m sure you can guess, there have been a lot of jokes to that effect around here recently, but the good news is that I’m done! With that one, anyway, but I have breathing room on everything else.

And that means that I have time to prepare this campaign! After all, Elf needs a title.

One of the amusing features of my ladyvulcan e-mail is that it gives me a random quote at the top of the page every time the page loads (thank you, Pug!). The thing picks from some ungodly number so that they don’t repeat before the teenage user starts to go gray (grey? I never remember which is which.) Anyway, this is what I have this morning:

Yay bio-nerds!

Which OS are You?

The really funny part is that if I change the answer to the last question, “Will the answers to these questions really help you determine my personality?” from “No, it’s entirely random” to “If I end up Windows ME, someone is going to be hurting,” I suddenly become Palm OS (”punctual, straightforward, and very useful, though your mother hoped for more from you”).

On other worthless topics of conversation, my respect for the FWB Public Library has taken a nose dive again. I was there yesterday after spending a long morning at the OWCC library (with which I was quite impressed), researching Jane Austen and the city of Bath. So there I stand at the card catalogue computer, going through the entries for “Jane Austen.”
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen
Emma by Jane Austen
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Persuasion by Jane Austen
Jane Eyre by Jane Austen.

Whaat?? Call me picky, but the last time I read Jane Eyre, the author was Charlotte Brontë, NOT Jane Austen. Really people - just because novelist Austen and leading lady Eyre have the same first name does NOT imply authorship! What’s more frightening is the number of hits from otherwise reliable seeming sources you get if you put “Jane Eyre by Jane Austen” into Google. Now, I know if I were putting the information on a personal website, I would make sure I knew who wrote my favorite book! Wouldn’t you?? Gah. I expect better from a library.

I’m not commenting on the June 17th entry title.

For anyone who was wondering, Jen and I did get to the Gulfarium on Monday, and had a good time, despite the rain! Rain just seemed to follow us that day… Mother Nature would trick us into coming outside with a little sunshine, then bring back the rain clouds.

Despite that, I think we did quite a lot in five and half days! We were out at the beach on three separate occaisions, spent an afternoon at the pool (which was deserted…even the lifeguard left before we did!), biked down to Meigs park, and watched several good movies! Went to go see Troy, too, for that matter, which was better than some of the reviews had suggested. I rather liked it. Anyway, we had a wonderful time!!

I’ve also taken up the DM’s hat again for a while. I’m putting the campaign together myself - and despite having had at least six months’ warning, I’m still playing half off-the-cuff. I meant to write it this spring, but there never seemed to be time or inspiration. Until I starting studying for final exams - go figure. So I took the time to outline it then, and I’m detailing it now. Also tying everying together…. The biggest problem here is that my players can’t interrogate anyone very effectively, because I don’t know the answers, either! Tae and Petra had problems with that today….sorry gals!

I’m about to start school work again. We have to do a lot of the reading and writing for the courses I’ll be taking in England this fall over the summer. That way, we don’t have to lock ourselves in our rooms and do it while we’re there - VERY good. The only tripwire is that I realized (when the first of my internet-ordered textbooks started arriving this week) that I have a paper due at the end of June. It’s not long, but does require a little research, and I haven’t really started to think about it. I’m not terribly worried - I don’t have any other imperatives at the moment - but it did startle me when I saw the due date! I have other papers, etc. to write this summer, but everything else is due in mid-August. Anyway, starting tomorrow, my life is going to be devoted to Jane Austen and the city of Bath for the next week and a half.
