dance dance wherever you may be

Just a promised reminder to Certain People™ that there is an all-ages Spiral Dance Elvish Winter gig on Saturday July 31 at the Folk Centre (corner South Road and George St Thebarton) from 7pm. Also, that Voltaire is playing at Higher Ground (on Light Square) on Sunday August 8. Accompanied by Brillig. I think the inability to dance on them afterwards is the only thing stopping me from chewing my limbs off at the moment. This interval between the expiry of the last dose of Humira and the new one taking effect has been particularly ouchy-inducing. [I wonder when my neighbours will get tired of all the screaming. It's a good thing I'm not doing it out loud, I suppose. At least, I don't think I am.] Ouchy! Apologies to Other people™, but saying I'm ouchy in a public forum works well in getting it outside of my head. Which helps control it. <grimace> "Shared pain is lessened; shared joy is increased. Thus we refute entropy."

when will the games all end

The nominations for the Indie RPG Awards can be found here. Which is a reminder of how many more of these games I have yet to acquire. I mean, I'm asking myself as to why I don't already have a copy of On Her Majesties' Arcane Service... Then again, I already have 19/39 of these games and only ever likely to play one or two of them. Not too bad for someone that's an ocean and half a continent away from where it is all happening. [I really hate those shipping costs with a passion, especially when back when I started ordering stuff from the US it was a lot cheaper. From 40% it's trending up to 100%, especially if a book is over the magic 3lb limit. (I believe that the USPS uses the international postage to subsidise the domestic postage. Although it does mean it has become economical for various companies to create US Mail boxes for non-US people, and then ship the packages en bulk (as freight) to the country where the local post office takes over).] Oh and I have 3/6 of the supplements too, but I'm afraid to look at previous years work (although a quick glance means I'm still running at about 50%, but have managed to play even less of them). And I still have this Summer's releases to consider (GenCon and Origins is where many of the companies launch their new products). I've already got over a half dozen physical games in the preorder or shipping queue. <sigh> Which reminds me ... still no Ganagarok Tarot available (although I did discover an excellent Skesis deck for playing Ganagarok with a Dark Crystal bias). On other news, Wonderdrug has kicked in and I'm no longer quite so ouchy.
