Some People Call Me Maurice

Work has been really draining me this week. I have a cold, see, but there's just too damn much stuff to do. As my boss said, we're trying to finish 4 months of roofing in 6 weeks. The good news, though, I'm about -> < - this close to getting a raise. Today marked six months at the job and JE (the boss I work most closely with, as opposed to my other boss JW) said "Okay, I'm gonna talk to JW and get you taken care of. I don't want you going anywhere else." That was with out me actually asking for more money.

On Saturday, though two of four players were unable to make it, I started off my GURPS 4th Ed. campaign based on Kenneth Hite's "The Madness Dossier" from GURPS Horror, 3rd Ed. While investigating a possible Anunnakku irruption in the Welsh village of Llanddewi Brefi, the PCs found a strange gemstone that revealed a terrible future. A future in which Jerry's character was shot four times by an unknown assailant. Luckily they have back-up on the way. I can only hope my Unknown Armies game on the 28th goes as well.

TV has also been treating me well recently. While I was very disappointed by "Jericho" and "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" has been seeming to flail a bit (I'm still pulling for it), "Veronica Mars" has so far remained superb and I'm really enjoying "Heroes". And don't even get me started on how awesome "The Wire" and "Battlestar Galactica" have been this season. I could go on, but I'll let that stand for now.

Actually, how about this: If you're reading this somewhere other than my Den of Iniquity, head over there to tell me what you're watching these days.
