042 - Bullet Points
- My "Fire" came back just in time for ECCC last weekend and I had SO MUCH FUN at the convention that it has gotten my creative juices flowing again! I blame the half-dozen games a playtested while there, along with an extended bit of hanging out with my Niece, Brittany (whom I haven't really seen in like 4 years or so)! She's so grown-up now!
- There are only four TV shows on television right now that I HAVE to watch - Flash, iZombie, Once Upon A Time and Last Man On Earth. All four of these shows have recently evolved into shows that are completely unlike the shows I originally started watching, and that's AWESOME. The latest episode of iZombie was the biggest game changer I think I've seen since the days of Buffy!
- Lord help me, I'm thinking of trying to get a table at the Lake City Toy Show this Sunday so I can weed out a bunch of our game collection. Not a Depression-based decision! We just need more room and I have a TON of games that I bought back in the day knowing FULL WELL that we would never play them - a bunch of Garage Sale and Thrift Store finds that I intended to sell or trade online, but doing it in person would be so much better!
- It's Molly's Spring Break, and I forgot that I had scheduled a bunch of Doctor's Appointments for this week assuming that I had the day free, so Molly is spending a lot of time sitting in waiting rooms while I go talk to doctors and such. Need to make that up to her, maybe Bowling today and a trip to see Grammy tomorrow...
- And finally, YESTERDAY was the first time I've ever talked about my depression with an actual professional. My Doctor's Appointment yesterday was to speak with a Social Worker/Counselor who will help me get to the correct person/people who can help me out, even if I don't currently feel like I need help. Lucky for me I'm in one of my "High Moods" and talking about it all was super easy with no fear or trepidation. Explained how right now my "symptoms" were at zero, but when I'm in my "Dark Moods" they're all the way at eleven. Talked about my suicide attempts back in my early teens, talked about home life, talked and talked and talked! I look forward to figuring this stuff out :)

Did you find anything?

Also found a full run of 1985 DC Comics Who's Who in the bargain bins, that was kind of awesome...
New Mutants *Annual* #1 (so we were in sync there!)...
And OMG SO MANY GAMES I PLAYTESTED! Did you get to go over and playtest anything? I even won a game in their raffel! Oh, and got a nearly full set of Superfight expansions for FREE at the end of the day :)
OOH and a highlight was "Junior Braves Of The Apocalypse", a YA zombie survival tale. Good, fun stuff!

That crossover comic sounds cracktastic. I've heard lots of good things about Junior Braves of the Apocalypse and I mean to check it out sometime. Have you read any Lumberjanes? I bet Molly would enjoy it, too.

The Hannah Barbera thing is just too good... according to Mark Evanier, they called him one day and said "Hey could you write a Flintstones Christmas story for us that uses all the other Hannah Barbera characters as well?" He said sure, how soon do you need it, and they said "Well considering that we need to get it to artists, then the printer... how about in an hour or two?" Tightest deadline he ever worked :)
Oh, and the game I won was Shem Phillip's "Flee The Scene", have not played yet but looks good :)

So far, I haven't met someone who didn't like Lumberjanes. It's just so fun and well-written and quirky.
