I am taffy-stuck and tongue-tied

enthusiastickI finally got my Exalted game going again this past week. Fall schedule seems to have us meeting on Thursdays instead of Tuesdays, but that's very doable for me. The game went better than I expected it to, under the circumstances. After such a long hiatus, I was expecting to have to spend a game just letting the characters flounder around and accomplish nothing at all. To my surprise they were effective and accomplished some things -- not much, mind you, but some things. That game has so much potential, I just hope I'm up to the task of letting some of it shine.
Saturday night I saw Mirrormask with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sleetfall and Rachel. It was even better than I had been led to expect. The visuals were so stunningly pretty that it really could have been an absolute crap movie and I still would have enjoyed it as a feast for the eyes. But instead the acting was strong and the story was tight, and the whole thing was just thoroughly enjoyable. Good on you, Dave McKean and Neil Gaiman. You'll both have to be kept around.
I still haven't finished reading Eragon; my new commute makes reading on the train a touch harder (and gives me less time to do it in) and I just don't find the lure of this particular book strong enough to pull me into reading it in the evenings. I'm a little more than halfway done and fully expect to complete it by the end of the week, what with my having plane rides and such during which I will undoubtedly read and sleep.
Speaking of which... due once again to job-related sequestering I expect to be rather thoroughly out of touch from Wednesday of this week through Friday afternoon. No e-mail and no LJ are to be expected. And then for 48 hours after that, who knows how much internet I'll have access to, and who cares? I'll be in Chicago! Squee.
