I apologise for the previous post. Leaving me with nothing to do at the moment is a bad idea, I seem to be getting depressed when I’m bored… Sorry! Eight days to go.
The wind blows coldly from grey horizon to grey horizon, and the neverending threat of rain looms over the sky. The kind of weather, the kind of day that saps the spirits and clenches its tight and dreary grasp around our hearts. Summer is over, autumn has come with its...
Two moments of public lollage today, much to my embarassment. The first, at the train station… Rammstein (in headphones): “Let me see you stripped…” guy next to me starts taking off his jacket And secondly, on the billboard advertising today’s Echo headlines… “Accident shears off bus roof! 414 jobs inside.”...

Today: Character Creation. Tomorrow: Playing the Game! For players who haven’t read it already: Dreaming Awake...
