Yesterday evening I did something I have not done in several years: I sat down at a table with a friend and created a new RPG character. The young lady in this icon is Jehanne, who I will be playing on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, and hopefully for some time thereafter. She turned out to be a nice balance of some of my own strengths (communication skills, diplomacy, and etc.) and some of my wish-fulfillment traits (bold, athletic, adventurous).

I'll be sitting down at the table with two people I know -- Hob and [livejournal.com profile] _storyteller_, one I know slightly from LJ and will have met once prior to the game, and one (or two?) I will have just met. It will be the first time I have ever gamed with anyone but my previous, long-running group, which makes me both excited and nervous. I'm glad that Hob is going to be there.

Going to work today does not thrill me -- but it's going to be a short week.


Oh, and I finally saw Good Night and Good Luck on Saturday night with [livejournal.com profile] uncrowned_king. If you haven't seen it, make the time. It is an excellent movie, both in themes and in artistry. Afterward, [livejournal.com profile] uncrowned_king and I had some excellent conversations about justice and rights. Then we watched The Contender, which is also quite good and treats some of the same ideas, but paled in comparison to GN&GL.

*sigh*

I always feel virtuous -- but very tired -- after exerting energy in the Pentacles realm.

Today I had a doctor's appointment (routine), a dental appointment (twice yearly cleaning), then came home and made fajitas for my daughter and [livejournal.com profile] uncrowned_king, who has also been sick with a bad cold. He has a paper to write, so he retired to The Yellow Room soon after dinner. I cleaned up the table and the leftovers -- giving the Daughter a few minutes off before the rest of the work began. Then I grabbed her and we swept and scrubbed the kitchen floor, the living room floor, and the bathroom. She cleaned the tub while I did the floor and the toilet, and then we re-organized the shelves a long overdue task. It was a solid two hours work, all told. And the dinner dishes are still sitting on the counter and in the sink. They can wait until tomorrow.

[livejournal.com profile] uncrowned_king is still finishing his paper. The Daughter has taken shower, and she and I have cuddled, done bedtime reading, and I've put her to bed.

Now it's my turn to relax -- and it's almost bedtime.
