Stress-related non-blogging syndrome
It's been one of those weeks. You know the cliche. You've probably used it. Well, I am having one of those weeks. A feature story that's due on Monday isn't coming together worth a shit, and it's stressing me out. I've got far too much day-to-day work piled on me, as well -- or so it feels like. My day-to-day to-do list wouldn't seem so bad if it wasn't for this damn feature article. I really hate doing features when working on a daily.
Then again, I don't think I've ever been all that fond of long feature articles. I guess I just believe that nobody bothers to read them.
My blogging has been relatively sparse over the last couple of weeks. I haven't had all that much to say, and so I've just kind of ignored it. I've worked on RPG stuff in my spare time. I'm running my D&D Greyhawk campaign this weekend, where we'll continue along the path of the Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil adventure. The PCs are still in the moathouse, and they probably will be in the moathouse for at least another couple of sessions, which most likely means we'll be dealing with the moathouse until the new year. I seriously hope it doesn't take any longer than that in real time (as opposed to game time, for you non-gamers out there). Everyone will start getting bored with searching the moathouse pretty soon, including me.
My Vampire: The Masquerade PBeM that is set in the City of New Orleans continues, and I'm starting to look for more players. Since the game started in January of this year, I've lost a few players, including two of the original four that started. The pace of play-by-email games turns a lot of people off, but sometimes it just so happens that players run out of time for the game. I've enlisted other players to take their spots, but we've even lost one or two of those recently. Now I'm looking to fill out the ranks with new players.
I think it's about two weeks since I popped onto EverQuest. All of my gaming time has been spent dealing with pen-and-paper games rather than video games. I actually think I'm going through a bit of a lull in terms of video games. I just can't be bothered to play them right now.
