Break on Through

Upon inspection in the bright light of day, the damage to the Mustang isn't as severe as I'd thought.  The driver's side headlight assembly will have to be replaced, but the fender isn't creased, just pushed inwards a little bit.  No structural damage to the bumper, although the paint is badly messed up.  I'm dropping it off in Liberty this morning (although I haven't quite wrangled the logistics of getting back to Lexington), as Dad has already spoken to two body shops down there about repairs.

So, upon further review, I think I'm going to go to GenCon.  I can swing a loan from Dad to cover the Mustang repairs (or, if it comes to this, store the little guy until my 10KB check arrives), and my insurance rates may not increase significantly.  So, for anyone still in need of a hotel room and not bothered about being out at the airport, let's talk.

Almost finished reading Mage: the Awakening, and I'm very impressed with it.  I loved Purple Mage in all of its bugnuts glory, but Awakening may very well eclipse it.  It's more coherent, definitely more personal, and beginning characters can actually do cool stuff.

elalyr and tegyrius took me out for a while last night.  We wound up at Joseph-Beth, of course, and the Harry Potter line was plenty deep.  I shamefully appreciated no small number of the schoolgirl outfits, and Tegyrius' highly-advanced targeting system immediately locked onto the representatives from the Stinky Trenchcoat Brigade.

I've heard good things about M:tA, but I just can't past "The Mysterium" *waves hands for added effect*. I'm sure they're not that kooky, but the name just distracts so much.

Anyways, I don't know if we had lines for HP here, but I managed to tear karanina away from it long enough for us to see Order of the Phoenix and have dinner at Mum's last night :p

I think a better name was probably out there, but the Mysterium's my favorite Blue Mage order. They're the setting's Indiana Jones crowd.

I've just about finished reading the core. The Legacies are interesting - sort of "prestige classes" for the aspiring mage. My old pals the Tremere exist as a rather icky Legacy - definitely antagonist material.

Next up: Promethean.
