Seven things from my life

eveglass1. Holidays: The Jewish holidays have come and (mostly) gone, consisting of five family dinners and a TON of leftovers (and one day of fasting). One consequence of all this is that I haven't had to bake bread in a week. Wow.
2. Freezer cooking: I'm planning on doing a big freezer cooking prep day this weekend, of the "put ingredients in bag, freeze, defrost, and throw in crock pot" variety. I generally have a lot of trouble coming up with the energy to cook at the end of a workday; hopefully this will help.
3. Gaming: Continues apace. Three games that are pretty solidly in the weekly/bi-weekly camp, and some on-the-side gaming with Marc to help him prep for his new Werewolf game, which is actually proving to be a lot of fun. My made-on-the-spot character is a jaded kinfolk who's been tasked by her extremely important cousin with conducting the first census of the garou nations. It's lots of fun. Or did I mention that?
4. Les Miserables: Because one of the villains in our 7th Sea game is based on Inspector Javert from Les Miserables, I finally decided to sit down and watch the whole thing, which I've never done before. I was surprised at some of the songs I knew but hadn't realized were from Les Miz, and also surprised at how often the same tunes are used wholesale for multiple songs.
5. Fasting: Every year, I wonder why I do it. Every year, I struggle with the little voice that says, "You could just eat something right now and no one would know but you. You wouldn't have to tell anyone." One of these years, I might decide to stop the tradition, though the time to make that decision is not in the middle of the fast, so I stuck it out until almost the end yesterday. (About 6:30.)
6. DragonVale: I very nearly spent real-world money on my stupid dragons game. I was about 12 hours away, and the only thing that stopped me was that I got the dragon I'd been working on for over a week at long last. Stupid addiction. This is precisely the reason I left FrontierVille, you fools!
7. Work: We're in our slow season now. I really should be using the time to prep stuff for when the busy season picks up again, but I'm feeling kinda lethargic. Stupid shrinking hours of sunlight...

Date: 2012-09-27 07:18 pm (UTC)I keep my own versions of this for religious reasons (no meat on Ash Wednesday/Good Friday and most Fridays during Lent) and no one really knows but me that I'm doing so.
Well...me and God, that is. To me, that's the whole point really. YMMV
