Thursday evening at the Haven was the first session of Brian's Serenity RPG game (played using the system from the Buffy and Angel RPGs, instead of the Cortex system, because Cortex system sucks). It's looking like it'll be a really fun game, and I can't wait until next week's session.
So, Tim got a new job. He now works for Chase in their collections department. That said, we've all decided not to try an buy a house, but instead to look for places to rent. We've been looking at ads the last two days, but Anna was only able to get in touch with the people who own two of the houses (she left messages with the rest). We've looked at two duplexes so far, and they both were nice, but the first one we looked at was nicer.
Because of the immediacy of the housing situation--Anna wants to be moved out of Mom & Dad's by the end of July--we've all got to save up as much as we can for the first month's rent and security deposit on any house we end up renting. Which means I won't be able to even start finishing that set of viking chairs until August or September at the earliest.
I also won't be able to get that correspondence course about piano tuning, or to make a Tri-D Chess board, like from Star Trek yet either. *Le sigh.*
I got the Star Trek DVD set last week from Amazon. It was actually the second set I'd gotten of it--the first set was missing season 1, disc 2, so I had to send it back. I'm on the fourth or fifth episode of season 2, and as soon as I finish this entry, I'm going to watch it.
Mom's birthday is coming up on Tuesday. I got her Highlander season 1 on DVD. I was looking for Kung Fu season 3, but they didn't have it at Record and Tape Traders, which is the only store I've been to since I got paid yesterday.
Next week, if I remember, I'll post a list of things I might like for my own birthday.

Highlander! *Love it*
ReplyDeleteSo why's the housing situation so immediate? Why's Anna want out so soon? Are your parents thinking of moving or something? Renting probably is a better idea. *Were you all able to get four people to pass a credit check? Banks are so picky now*
Um, yay for Tim's new job. *Even though i think Chase is run by Satan*
Cortex System sucks? Ouch!
ReplyDeleteS'okay, I think Cinematic Unisystem is a great game.
Well, maybe "sucks" is a bit strong. But seriously, having to fish for two or more different types of dice for every roll gets a bit ridiculous after a while. It seriously slows down the action, having to check which dice to use and then making sure you get the right dice off the table.
