Buh?

I didn't sleep hugely well last night. Got about 4 hours or so, though, which is enough to function provided I relax tonight.

So... here's the obligatory weekend update:

Saturday
Went into Staines to buy new jeans and underwear. Came back with two pairs of each. Next weekend I will be returning to staines to exchange one of the pairs of jeans which is clearly not the same size as the pair I tried on, despite being labelled as such.

After this, I watched a bit of Carnivale, followed by rather a lot of Live 8. Of course, I couldn't quite handle watching some of the acts, so I made use of the "interactive" gubbins and watched a few bits from the other concerts around the world.

In all, some of the acts were just plain mighty, and some were good, and one or two I just wasn't really interested in. Basically, if they'd been performing for more than about 20 years then they were mighty. Without fail. The act which did surprise me with how good they were was Keane, who I normally find bland and uninspiring. Considering two of the three band members were fixed in place, and how nervous they seemed backstage beforehand, they really belted it out and maintained a decent stage presence. Pleasantly surpised.

Sunday
Sunday was eaten entirely by Mage. I finished preparing the second "radio free gaia" broadcast in the morning, played around with some NPC gubbins in the early afternoon, then went up to the game. I reckon the game was fairly harsh, but in a good way. Two PCs didn't return from a mission, and several of those that did get back were more than a little screwed over by paradox, one of which will be ongoing for a while, I believe.

Speaking of which... themadone, Mike has been posting on the national mage lists. I would imagine that his current "problem" poses something of a hindrance. Think on this, and prepare appropriate responses. I'm sure it's feasible, but I think you need to let us know how you're handling it!

I think we also stirred things up a little with some visiting NPCs later in the game. All good fun.

The list isn't a mailing list any more. It's a geomid(sp?) spirit that watches reality for signs of anyone trying to send a message to the list and if they're allowed to, it accepts the message and delivers it in a format appropriate to the receiver.

Mike's prefered method of sending and receiving is still email though. Not sure what hinderance you think there is. The glove he uses to control the laptop is stuck to his hand? Can't see any reason why he can't type in the air like he normally does? As long as he doesn't wave his hand around too much and hit anything and get stuck to it. Which is why I've slowed his typing speed down though cos he's being extra careful.

Air typing's probably still fine, I guess. I should point out that the glove isn't so much stuck to you as much as it's now part of you.

Yeah I know. Stuck/part of. Not much difference when it comes to him trying to use it. If the powered armour wasn't so slow...

Keane are surprisingly alright actually. Overplayed, of course, but extremely good musicians (in my humble opinion).
