Halloween is over. I should change my profile picture. Hm... Oh! Found the new one. I'll peel it off the wall and scan it tomorrow....
So, I am about halfway through 1984. I'm starting to get very very excited to see the performance on Tuesday, because it's causing me to wonder more and more how they're going to be able to really pull this off. I mean, there's so little dialogue, and not a very lot of real action - at least so far as can be performed for an audience. So much of the novel is constructed around thought, and ideas, rather than actions - at least, so far as I've read. As stated, I'm only about halfway through.
I wish I could see more theatre. I know the scene up in Minneapolis is really great right now - I'd LOVE to be able to get some tickets for a performance at the Guthrie... Maybe Merchant of Venice later next year. The Full Monty at SDSU is going marvelously well, though there are already some costume malfunctions. I miss theatre a lot these days. It's been so long since I was really involved. If I had a way to pay my student loans this summer, I'd be quite tempted to do Prairie Repertory Theatre for one last summer before I am taken away from all of this. It'd be nice, too, to get a few more things on my resume before leaving, too.
Lunch with the beau tomorrow. We both opened our evening online chat tonight by remarking that we were due for a good cuddle, and that it really felt like a long time since we'd seen each other (last Friday night, I pretty much tore out of his place Saturday morning because I was in such a bad mood). I look forward to it. Actually, in terms of happy-making, the next few days should be promising. My schedule at work goes fairly easy on me, my days off are spaced out nicely, and the 14th (1984 night) will be a genuine treat. Here's hoping we do sushi that night, too.
Nothing much else is going on right now. I'm not looking for a new job half as much as I ought to be, but the job market around here is sort of discouraging. I'm squeaking by, and it's scary, but not so scary that I'm getting my ass in gear and really working at finding a new job. *sigh* Oh well. Working on Thanksgiving, which means time and a half holiday pay, and I went and volunteered to work the evening of Dec 24, and whenever was needed on Christmas, too, which is more holiday pay.. I need the monies, and the family that matter, that I actually might want to spend time with, understands. The family that will bitch at me about it, well... anything to piss them off is fine by me.
Hopefully I'll soon know if I can get the location I want for my next attempt at an SG set. With luck, we'll be able to shoot during Christmas break, or, if we're very lucky, before. Ah, well.
Fuck, my apartment's cold. It's bedtime. Nighty-night, SG! Sleep well!

And every edition change has marked a substantial change in the rules, (except maybe the change between 3.0 and 3.5) but the difference between 2nd and 3rd is particularly large, probably because between the two releases D&D got bought by Wizards of the Coast and is now being worked on by different people. So yeah, it really has changed a lot, fairly recently. Though I suppose it still might've been third edition that you originally encountered.
