Published!

The QM's WiFi has not been working well lately so I'm falling back into coffee shop habits. Mmm, coffee. Actually, this place doesn't even serve plain coffee: espresso drinks only. Yum. It's a bad habit though. I don't think, however, they would be very pleased with me staying all day like I did in my Atlanta haunts.

Going back to the topic of the QM though, I have news. I've been published in their magazine QMunicate. Yes, that's right....
I AM IN PRINT!!!
Alright, alright, so it was co-authored and Molly actually deserves the lion's share of the credit. But it was fun writing together and fun seeing my name in print. It was just an article about GUGS. They only gave us one day's notice since they needed to fill a slot opened up by a flaky no-show. (Boy do I remember those!) So Molly hacked something out and I went through and poked, prodded, added, subtracted and then she went through again and then I went through again and then we threw up our hands and declared it good enough and out it went. The other gamers thought it was good, but we've still got no idea what non-gamers would think of it.

Gaming itself is very exciting this week. I am, more or less, in three games: Harry Potter which will have its final session this Sunday. My 11-year-old Slytherin, Hetty Cowell has been facing many moral dilemmas and frightening situations but hopefully will come out ok in the end. MI8, which is action-horror-spy stuff, is getting quite tense at present (ah! they're hunting us down! They know who we are!). And then there's a Black Jewels rpg on Witchfire (online) where Kharian Danza is being swept up into all sorts of adventures...and swept into the arms of a handsome young man (who's really lucky she doesn't put a knife through his ribs; she is an assassin after all. She seems pleased though. I know she's my character but I really didn't know what she would do till it happened.)

I don't know what, if anything, I'll do on my birthday. The British tradition of going out and getting pissed with friends would not be a good idea given my concert the next day. Maybe we'll go see The Golden Compass. Or maybe I'll spend a quiet night with Ron. Don't know. But I am looking forward to Saturday. La la la! And then we can party afterwards.
