The birthday weekend...

vianegativasuffice it to say, rocked my socks. I could get knee deep in the litany of who, what and when of my birthday party on Friday, but I leave it at this: it was a perfect mix of number of folks, temperments and interesting stories. There were some people of incredible quality at my house Friday night & I enjoyed talking to everyone I could corner over the tapas we had.
Saturday was languid & hazy until we went to see Grindhouse Saturday evening; I can see the small flaws in the films but overall it was totally the experience it promised. Any critic who glossed over that is just some sad Goth kid shame-eating his way through a plate full of twinkies and weltschmerz. It was a brilliant, filthy day-glo cinematic romp. I worship at the twin temples of Rose McGowan and Rosario Dawson.
I was ill-prepared for my Star Wars game on Sunday, but everyone seemed to have a good time. The further I divorce gaming from trying to create "epic storytelling" the more successful I seem to be as a GM. I'm still bandying about ideas for my next game, but as of now I'm hip-deep in lightsabers and clone troopers. I'm thinking a trilogy for Star Wars is both fitting & proper, so as soon as everyone's character matures a bit I'll move on to a new story. Perhaps over Summer.
So, I'm 34. Officially an adult, but I have yet to approach that "mid-life" point. I'm still childish & immature with hobbies better suited to a ten year old, yet here I am with a career and finding myself pushing towards college degrees aka "employment approval". I feel some reflection coming on, but I'll slip into that later.
Is it time to shake things up a bit? That seems to be the question on loop for me these days. If so, what should I change, I wonder?
Reinvention is a bitch as well.
