Happy-making.
I was feeling a little low the last few days, and when that happens, I try to think of things which would make me feel better. Spinning yarn is one, but it takes a certain commitment of time, and besides I loaned my wheel to Jetsy, so that’s off the table for now. Mainly because of the time, Jetsy, don’t worry – I’ll definitely ask for it back when I want it!
Playing piano is another. So I did, and that was good. I think I’m also going to order Denes Agay’s Best Loved Songs of the American People. The songs are old folk songs that I grew up with, and they’re quick and easy to play. That book was on my Amazon wishlist for several years, and it’s ridiculous that I haven’t managed to buy it when it’s one of my top picks. It’s vanished off my wish list now for some reason. No idea why. But it’ll be a quick fix to help me with a little piano pick-me-up when I’m down.
Third, play DragonRealms! And I mean play, not just GM. Usually I’ll play for a few minutes and then start thinking of new things to do for the game, and then I’ll wind up writing new vision messaging or shop items while I’m hacking and slashing. That’s probably what’ll happen today, but we’ll see. I logged my moon mage in this morning to discover that I had a couple of new spells from the Analagous Patterns spellbook. Woo! So time to practice a little magic, and maybe do a little hunting. I can take a break this morning for a little mindless entertainment.
And no, I’m not scripting while I write this entry. I follow the rules. 🙂
I have some non-Jayne knitting to show later. Nothing too complex, but still a nice break. Jayne hats do continue apace. Hats up for: Charlotte, Phoenix, and Chicago.
Pardon, I have to go kill monsters. Elanthia awaits!
Ooh folks songs for the win. I wish I could actually play the keyboard currently sitting behind me.
I’m sorry you’ve been blue, I hope DR helps! I’d send you a puppy for cheering up, but my doggeh is evil.

OK, as long as you promise.
I’m pretty close to the price of a Kiwi in the wheel fund…

You need to play with me one of these days ;3 I promise wont tell anyone who you are!
As an aside, if you’re available on the 20th at 8pm EST you should swing into my wedding. Well, get-together, whatever lol. We’re using that new snowy area.
Oh, I insist you add knitting to DR, too! It could teach mech! I’d so rather text knit than text fold paper.
get needles
You get a set of knitting needles from inside of your knitting kit.
get wool
You get a hank of wool from inside of your knitting kit.
knit wash with my wool
You start the tedious task of knitting a washcloth. Knit, knit, knit, knit.

Heh. Wind your yarn into a ball, and if you flub it badly enough, you need escaping to get yourself out of it. 🙂

Haha.
This would be awesome for the mech split. Make knitting a skill ;3
Being able to make sweaters, scarves, etc etc would be neat.
You could buy patterns from a shop, and get more advanced/detailed ones from merchants as well as rare yarns.
Do you see what you do to me, woman? lol
