Mar. 14th, 2021 06:38 pmHere we are on the first day of Screw Your Sleep Schedule week. I woke up before sunrise, of course, and could not get back to sleep. Read some Conan stories, watched a SpaceX launch, tried to be still enough to sleep, and eventually gave up. Showered, went to Aldi, started laundry, listened to a few episodes of The Good Friends of Jackson Elias. Napped a while, read a little more. I'm just not a fan of this archaic time shift nonsense.
I've picked out some games from the Garycon 13 schedule. A couple of Star Wars sessions, DCC and MCC. Didn't get to test out Fantasy Craft/Primeval Thule yesterday; put it off until next weekend.
It's been right at a year since quarantines and lockdowns and everything else. Vaccines are being produced and distributed; we aren't out of the woods by any means, and there are some astonishingly stupid things going on - godsdammit, Texas, really - but we're going to manage this thing. I'm going to keep wearing a mask for a while because not suffering allergy attacks last summer was pretty darn nice. Plus I can be childish and stick my tongue out at fucking everybody. I'm ready to get back into a bookstore every few weeks. Get a drink at the Back Door after game night.
Finished watching CBS's The Stand miniseries last night. I liked it on its own merits. Kept the core of the story intact; blended a few things together. Casting was really good. Amber Heard was a darn good Nadine Cross, and Alexander Skarsgard was about perfect as Randall Flagg. Watching it put me in a mind to reread the doorstopper of a book, and that led me to reading articles on The Dark Tower, and I think it's about time to revisit those books again. Including Wizard and Glass, this time around.
Go slow past the Drawers, Gunslinger.
