[Hivemind] Remember -- the fish know

Is that related to cutting back on your games?

yes, I cut back on my games for the ENnies and the Ennies are yet to really start yet. Also, I tend to watch a bit of TV during the year but now we are in the summer season I rarely watch anything. I've been going through my friends DVD collections watching things. I've gone through the first 3 seasons of Stargate for instance.

There are a number of things I can and should be doing my my mood has been dreadful these past few weeks. My sleep schedule is totally off I conked outafter work for a few hours for the first time in ages. And I slept soundly, it was one of those were I shut my eyes for a bit yet a couple hours passed rapidly.

Crothian, just think of it as more time to go for a walk, or ride your exercise bike, or finally read that novel you've been putting off for ages.

My problem is I have no energy for anything. Even things I enjoy I just can;'t get into. I have gotten through the first 4 harry potter books agian as I wanted to reread them all for the mocvie. But even that has been slow going.

Crothian, when I've been in a bad mood lately I've really found that wicked clown music helps.

Now, I have no idea if this is your speed at all- but I recommend either buying or downloading the following songs as mood boosters IF evil horror music with its tongue firmly in cheek might cheer you up.

"Toxic Love" by Dark Lotus (the story of a man who accidentally makes it with a toxic waste barrel)
"What is a Juggalo" by Insane Clown Posse (just what is a juggalo anyway?)
"Hom-Sha-Bom" by Twiztid (suddenly there's a nude wounded woman running from demonic cultists and you let her in your car and then...)
"Headache" by Dark Lotus (demon-induced migraines?)

I dunno if you'll enjoy them, but those songs (among many others) have really given me a good mood lift lately... all for different but similar reasons. All those bands are very funny and also as offensive as I've yet found.

Anyway, just a thought- music is great therapy (whether it's my insane clown tunes or classical or whatever). Much better for you than tv.

Gaming tomorrow?? Me too!

Are you dming or playing?

No gaming for me tomorrow. I'm still toying with the idea of DMing, but I'm too scared to try it. I don't enjoy studying rules and looking up stats. I'm also afraid I can't think fast enough to keep up with the players, lol.

Confidence, that's all you need. I don't look up a thing, if I don't know it I make it up. Just don't tell the players that.

Running is not easy, but I never had the fear of it. I was running games almost as soon as I started as I was the only one patient enough to read the rules. And that was 20 years ago.
