Assorted updatey stuff
Aug. 14th, 2006 09:01 pmSo I haven't updated in some time, I've been meaning too, but I just haven't got around to it. Nothing particularly major to write about just a few little things.
I still haven't got around to changing my car yet, but I have some time off in a couple of weeks and I'll do some about it then. Kind of looking forward to moving on from the Fiesta it's been a good little car, but now I want something better. Of course first things first I've got to get the exhaust on the Fiesta changed as it went recently. The welding had gone at the end on the first silencer box, which means the car is very very loud now, hopefully I'll have it all sorted by the end of the week.
This weekend I'm traveling up to Liverpool for a wedding on Saturday. Actually I'm catching a train to Nottingham on Friday, staying with a friend there, then we're driving across to Liverpool on Saturday morning, coming back in the evening to Nottingham, and I'm catching the train back on Sunday. Think it's going to end up being quite a tiring weekend. Still I get to see people I haven't seen in some time so that's good.
So that means no larping for me this coming weekend. I haven't larped that much this summer really, well at compared least to the previous university year. Partly it's been the weather, I'm not good in the heat, I prefer the cooler weather. It would have be nice to play Lucien, but I don't see a point in a playing a character that's for a large part is about having silly amounts of armour, when it's too hot to wear the padding for the armour, let alone the armour itself. Still it's giving me time to get my platemail sorted, having to clean off all the rust caused by the salty candlestone sand and air.
Larp yesterday was good, I got to play Aurinyan again which was a lot of fun. I think Aurinyan's changed slightly because of that larp. Ever since the rules changes came in, he hasn't felt particularly useful, and is not willing to put himself in any danger, even if that means standing and watching the rest of the party fight while invisible. Partly that's due to me having to take quite some time working out what Aurinyan was good for, because I didn't feel I was able to able to use the old tactics any more. It is also the character though, he has had to re-adjust to a situation where his previous experience doesn't apply and he is having to relearn, but with a much more dangerous environment to learn in. He's rediscovered that sometimes just a weapon, and a little power damage is enough in a fight, and he can do more than power people up (still sparingly though, so he can use the mana to save himself), and then stay out of the way. He'll stick pick and choose his fights, but we be working on the assumption he can make a difference until he see's he can't rather than assuming he can't help until it's proved otherwise, or he has no other choice.
Other that all's fine, well the muscles around my right shoulder blade hurt, but I'm hoping that's just a ache because I larped yesterday.
