That was the weekend that was.

Off to the gym on Friday, where I continued my attempts to look less like a blancmange by early September. Sadly, this resulted in me picking up yet another injury, which is going to screw around with my training regime for the foreseeable. After being forced to stop running due to pain that can best be described as excrutiating - like nothing I’ve experienced in recent memory – the physio at the gym told me I’d developed what’s known as Shin splints , with the result that I’ve to reduce my training dramatically. Arse.

Saturday it was off to meet with a variety of gamer types to talk about plot for Gencon (coming along nicely, thanks), and also London ‘ling, which I’ve agreed to AST. Perhaps I ought to read the rules at some point…
Oh, and Greenwich game on Saturday night. It was OK, but I can’t really get into the whole gaming thing at all at the moment.

And then Sunday we went to the Costume sale at the Royal Opera House, where I foolishly bought myself a fine evil wizarding robe that I really couldn’t afford. I’m kicking myself for it now, but at the time I couldn’t help it.
And then finally, after a fairly mediocre Chinese meal, we scuttled off to see Men in Black 2, which is one of those special comedies that does without jokes. Or plot. Scooby Doo was better, and that’s damning with faint praise…

Ah - so you bought something? Was it good?

I was very jealous of people in London this weekend.

Rules? who the heck needs the rules? Run a good and fair game that people enjoy and the only rules you need to know are what beats what in RPS. If you want to borrow any of my books on Changeling your more than welcome, there's a fair bit to learn even to cover the basics but the huge majority of its well written and a damn fine read. Especially the sidhe politics ;-)

So, looking forward to the INP turning up looking for contracts?...

MIB2 - hurm... seems to be either you love it or hate it, shame as I was rather looking forward to it but now am not so sure.

I gave up running machines a while ago at the gym after my ankles started hurting; I use the crosstrainer insted now - no impact and just as much effort, plus awkward balancing tricks

yeeeowwww. Shin splints? How *much* running have you been doing? Or do you have fallen arches (that's usually a contributory factor) or foreshortened calf muscles (which is usually caused by wearing high heels). There is something to be said for fancy trainers, as long as you are paying for the shoe not the embroidered logo...
