yelosonI tend to jump around when reading stuff, especially if I've read it before. Took a break from the Mahabharata and re-read The Living Sword and the Shogun Scrolls. I'm not sure if it's actually the writing or simply the translations but generally the Japanese martial arts/philosophy stuff tends not to get so much flowery prose tacked on to it like the Chinese or Tibetan stuff I've read. It's sad, but the mix of spiritual detachment and pragmatic "Sometimes you just gotta cut a fool" is really fitting my mood right now.
I'm thinking I might make Shadow of Yesterday the first game I run on Skype, though I want different setting stuff and tighter character generation. One of the problems I find with looser games is that new people have a hard time building solid concepts sometimes ("Key of Murder, Key of Masochism" are things people pick out of curiosity and silliness, not because it fills a character in mind, etc.) What would be a good setting? I'm feeling vaguely POC focal steampunk but haven't found any passion to it.
I'm signed up for a class on how to train safely, and more efficiently, which includes figuring out how to develop exercises and routines for your specific needs, including which things need more range of motion, more endurance, more stabilization, more motor skills, etc. That's Sunday! AWESOME.
I need to figure out what I'll be doing on the dating front. My homey got solid hits on Match.com, so, even though I despise, "It's ok to look" etc. it might be the most efficient way to get out and start dating. (Gained a new crush at school. There's apparently a secret contingent of cute filipino women down in Antioch or something, this would make the third who's come to the school lately...)
