Planning

 Found my earring. :-) Thanks to everyone who cared enough about my trivial problem to ask me if I had.

Now I'm trying to figure out what to do with this weekend. My first concern is work; the first act of my screenplay is due this coming Tuesday. I need to have thirty pages and at the moment, I have less than ten. So this will take a huge chunk of my focus and time. And since I'm struggling so much with this class anyway, a class I want so badly to be good at, it's important to me that this thing not suck.

On Saturday, I believe Bernie will be running "Unconventional," his original Spycraft mod. I've been spoiled on the idea so I can't play it, but I like the idea a lot and would very much enjoy watching it run. So that would take a lot of my Saturday-- Spycraft is never a quick process. I can bring work with me, of course, especially since I won't be playing, but the chance of writing meaningfully without my full focus is anyone's guess. There's also a party I wouldn't mind going to, as it would make me very happy to have a chance to hang out with the host and the rest, but that will depend on where I am with work, and the position of the other factors in the equation. 

I also need to start figuring out a costume for Game of Empire. I confess I have not yet read my character because I'm trying to get through all the background materials first; I get the impression that knowing the context will help a great deal in understanding my sheet. Last night natbudinexpressed the opinion that he really liked me in this role, which I find extremely interesting. As for costuming, my first idea is to check out a shop on Moody Street that looks to sell Middle-Easterny-type clothing and things. I don't know yet what sort of things my character would wear, but I will shortly, and this place might be a good place to start. Perhaps, if I have time, a costume run will be in order, for anyone who's interested.

So, I suppose I'm thinking to spend pretty much all of today writing the screenplay, with the possible break taken if Bernie wants a second opinion on anything about "Unconventional" before he runs it. Saturday then can be given over to watching the mod run, and possibly even the party in the evening, all variables being constant, as Dave likes to say. Sunday I'm not sure about-- the only thing I know at the moment is I will be taking Jared to church with me, so he can observe and write on it for his Sociology of Religion class. Other than that, I probably will have to do more work, given that I seriously doubt I'll be able to finish everything on Friday. But perhaps it will be free enough that if anything else interesting arises, I will be able to participate. Perhaps it's not a firm plan, but it'll serve in the meantime.

It occurs to me now that because I tend to write about so many different things in a single entry, I am something of an abuser of tags. This one, at last count, has seventeen. Excessive, perhaps, but I like them. Chalk it up to my compulsive love of categorizing.
