Session 1 Recap

So I had the first session of the 4th edition D&D game I'm running yesterday. It went alright for a first session. I certainly learned a lot about running a game in this edition and I am very excited to make some minor changes to accomodate what I've learned. I've include a story version recap of the session in the Read More section. Fair warning, it's close to 3 pages long. This one had to cover a lot of intro material, so I skimped a bit on the combats. Enjoy!

GoogleBooks!

Just wanted to let everyone know that "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" is on GoogleBooks! That means you can read it online rather than buying a copy.

Here's the link: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

So this means there's no excuse not to read some of it! ;)

Happy Reading!

Love,

Liz

I've embedded the first part of Young Sherlock Homes film below.
Jump to 5:29 for the movie theme.

Jessie: I hear you Anne!

I think a lot of it is the weather. I'm dead tired today. If I wasn't raised the way I was, I'd call in....
I guess I fell asleep during RAW last night, and I woke up on the couch this morning. I don't blame Greg, once I fall asleep, I'm dead to the world.
Soo... the beginning of March-exciting! Greg and I will be going to DC soon ( 2 weeks to be exact), my first time in an airplane in over 12 years. Spring is right around the corner, and 13 days until we turn the clocks ahead!! I'm excited for a longer day.. I'm sick of going to work at 7 when it's kind of dark and getting out when it's beginning to get dark. (on an 8-4 day, the rest are 3-11). And I want it to warm up so I can start using the moon roof on the jeep! Also, our landlord does the bare minimum when it comes to snow removal, meaning he passes the plow once.
On a more positive note the kittens are doing well. Adora "talks" when you call her, and Artemis only seems to meow when Greg isn't around, she really likes him, he'll work on the computer and she sits next to it on his desk and purrs. If he doesn't pay attention, she'll lay on his keyboard.

So, that's pretty much all from the NH front.. hope you all have a great week!

Tired.... so tired....

Been working crazy shifts lately, 9 and 10 hours long. On top of that, I've been pretty gosh darn busy.

Went to Providence on Saturday and bought Lego Harry Potter. I'm almost done with story mode, which everyone knows is the bit you play through just to get to the REALLY fun stuff. Besides, I already know the story.

Before that was playing Dynasty Warriors 6. You all pretty much know how I feel about the DW series, so I'll spare you.

Also attended Boskone 2 weeks ago- I have a fair amount of wonderful things from that, including most excellent memories.

Coming up, things are only getting crazier.

Pax East- It will be EPIC.

My national certification test

Frank's game (way psyched for this!!!) :)

Seeing a friend of mine with whom I've reconnected lately

Into Boston to see another old friend and talk shenanigans. Seriously, our conversations get way weird.

Add to this the fact that I'm gonna get overtime this week, and will try to pick up extra hours the next.

Oh! I'm going to try and read up on the Sherlock Holmes. But I've also started Salman Rushdie's The Satanic Verses as my next book.

Also, I have to go food shopping. I've had rice the past 2 days.

Web Page Design-BLAHHHH

I'm currently in my Web Page Design Class right now. It's so boring and easy I decided "hey, I'll write a blog post!"

Honestly, not much is happening in my life. I've been listening to T-Swift and watching "Greek" like an addict. I got into some colleges! So that's awesome. I haven't heard from all of them yet though (only 3 so far). Right now, I'm just enjoying the fact that I don't have to make any major life changing decisions yet!

Although I have yet (YET) to finish Winnie the Pooh ( I'm finising it tonight, I swear! It's not boring it's just that I keep getting distracted by stupid distracting things). I seriously recommend everyone read "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" with Frank, Dad, and I. It's going to be AWESOME!!

Frank: It's Snowing!

I shoveled the driveway again today. I'm getting a little tired of it, but what can you do? In other news, my D&D game starts this coming friday, I'm really excited. I'll be posting the game recap next weekend, so stay tuned for that.

Again, the book club is now official on the blog, and March we'll be reading the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. If you're interested in joining me, Liz and Dad, here are the actual case names for the stories contained in Adventures: A Scandal in Bohemia, The Red-Headed League, A Case of Identity, The Boscombe Valley Mystery, The Five Orange Pips, The Man With the Twisted Lip, The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle, The Adventure of the Speckled Band, The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb, The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor, The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet and The Adventure of the Copper Beeches. It's twelve stories in all.

So I figured out how to modify my blog profile settings and make this one private. So I'm back to being Frank, although my posts will still be written as Octavian, because Octavian is cool.
