Various and sundry
Sep. 23rd, 2009 03:59 pm- Pendragon was ok, which is to say I had a good character and a good time, but I know all too many female players who didn't and am ticked off on their behalf. I turned out to be absolutely right in covering my ass on the questionnaire by saying 'no damsels/useless female characters' explicitly.
(I will say, though, that for all that the game had problems, some of which aren't mine to discuss,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
zrealm and the rest of Foam Brain did an admirable job of keeping the game running and making it fun. Serious kudos for them.)
- Unfortunately, I got next to no sleep over the weekend, thanks both to the schedule (understandable but still strenuous) and the fucknuts downstairs from us playing loud rap music at four in the morning on Saturday. I wound up dragging my comatose ass to the manager's office, so he could shut them up before I bludgeoned them to death with a swivel chair.
- I did, thankfully, get the internship I was stressing about. Starting this Monday, I've been the communications intern for Jane Doe, Inc. - an advocacy organization for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. It's been an excellent job so far, and I really like my coworkers.
- I seem to be suffering from annoying allergies and dehydration all week, both of which leave me brain-fuzzy and low-energy. Meh. One of them, at least, can be remedied by plying myself with water till I burble. If the water's cold enough, it doesn't leave me feeling as pukey. (Too much plain water can make me sick to my stomach, due to an incident where I was forced to drink too much of it prior to an ultrasound.)
- Currently reading Black & White, by Jackie Kessler and Caitlin Kittredge. As a superhero novel, it's not necessarily the freshest thing on the block, but it's a fast, engaging read and I love the characters.
