It's Like a Drug

After yesterday's Dark Heresy, I gave Sam a lift home to my mum's place like I usually do. This should be the last time I have to fetch and carry him since he is insuring his new bike this week. Anyway, I took the "mini series" of Battlestar Galactica over with me to watch so I could show him how awesome it is.

Unfortunately it's not mine to lend and I think I might have started an addiction similar to the one I experienced when I first watched the mini series. I'll ask Adam if Sam can borrow it after I'm done with the first three seasons (they're all in one boxed set). I've still got season four to watch and I heard that season five is airing on Sky.

Dark Heresy went well. On one occasion the players wanted to split up and I had to force them to stick together to simplify the game. Any GM/DM/Keeper/Storyteller who has had a party split up and go separate ways will know what a nightmare it can be when players sent their characters down two different corridors at the same time.

I'm all alone at work today. Well, not entirely alone; John is off sick so I've got the office to myself. Whoop-de-doo. As much as I welcome the solitude, it won't last and it doesn't make the work any more exciting.

I can't really think of anything else to write about. I guess I should start writing for Dark Heresy this coming weekend.

Oh yeah! I just remembered. While on the seafront with Sam as pillion, I saw ANOTHER VERSYS! It was black, outfitted with panniers, and probably a load of other stuff I was too excited to notice. I did a one-eighty turn on the roundabout and filtered through traffic, chomping at the bit whenever the traffic lights turned red just so I could catch it up and wave manically to the rider who had parked the bike up and was busy taking his gloves off. At first he smiled and waved, pointing at the bike in a "hey, you've got the same bike as me" kind of way. When I started yelling awesome bike and awesome and awesome I think he might have been a little freaked out. I then just dashed off back onto the seafront to do a u-turn and continue with my journey. Sam said he was hiding his face the whole time.

Well excuuuuse me it's not every day you see another Versys. More people should ride them. Only they shouldn't, because then the novelty of their unique rare awesomeness would be degraded.
