Tuesday night
Nov. 27th, 2002 12:47 amToday was nice. We got a bit done around the house, and now we're idling before bed. Magnus is trying to figure out what kind of mandolin he should build next, and I've been bouncing from one time-waster to another. We went up to the parents for a while and had a very humorous Rook game. Mom passed (the bid) and sent us into gales of laughter for several full minutes at one point, but the story wouldn't be as funny if I retold it, so I'll just leave you to wonder about it.
It's snowing. I guess it's the first real snow of the season. It actually stuck (sorta). I don't know if it's going to snow more overnight, but I hope not. Magnus has to go to Augusta tomorrow, and if it's all slick, I'll worry about him. Of course, I worry about him all the time, so I guess it's not much different than always. It was so nice when we walked up in the snow tonight. It's cold, but crisp and not windy, and there was just enough snow to make all our neighbors stay inside, so it was very quiet.
We ordered a pizza for dinner.. it was extremely good. Also, I found out that there are fewer calories in delivery pizza than I thought, which is always good. Of course, I still wouldn't argue that it's healthy or anything, but better than it could be.
I've been spending much more time than normal on the muds. I've even been working on stuff.. the website and mudlist. Part of me knows that it's ultimately a waste of time.. there are just not enough people interested anymore, and the aber mud population itself is dwindling (I'm not sure about the other types. I was never interested in them.) Muds are very popular with college students, you know, and by now, most people have gotten on with their real lives and then they eventually stop mudding altogether. It's probably easy to do.. we don't log on as much as we used to. First, you take a break, and then you log on and don't see anyone you want to talk to, or there isn't anyone at all on, and so you log off, and each time you take longer before you log back in, and suddenly the habit is gone. The kids have no imagination anymore, and the graphics get better and better in the other games. People don't see the point in a text based game when you can also play a graphic multiplayer game. It's so much more fun, though, and it annoys me that people don't get it. Still, part of me thinks that maybe they'll last. But.. last night I looked at Crimefighter's mudlist, with the listing of muds that have gone down much longer than the list of the ones still up. It was utterly depressing. Stephie and I indulged in a wonderful fit of nostalgia the other night, which I guess is what prompted my reinterest. We had so much fun. Anyway, we decided, at the end, that we were going to try to revitalize the mud. I'm thinking on contacting a couple people I haven't talked to in a while, as well. I'm also thinking evil thoughts about certain other people I haven't thought of in a very long while that I don't like any better in retrospect than I did at the time. Hehe.
In conclusion, I guess, I should say that if you want to get involved in a very fun, text-based role-playing game, check out DarkScapes. (My name is Kadi, I'll see you there.)
