My Hobbies

Things I do with my time...

I have several ways to spend or waste my time, all alone, or with my friends. These pages give more information on some of these.

Gaming:: Currently playing in a Greyhawk campaign. I'm playing a priest of a very peculiar goddess of death and arcana. I've decided, to help myself get into character, to keep a journal of the party's misadventures. Also, I've had to come up with a short history of the character himself, and even a summary of the rites and observances demanded by this deity. (linked below)

Character synopses and history (Word 5.0 document).

Party journal (HTML)

Essay on devotions to Wee Jas (Word 5.0 document).

Also, one item I want to point you to, is a terrific article on mechanistic games. It was written by a good friend of mine while we attended High School. Check it out: The Hottentot Hack'n'Slashers vs. The Personae Incarnate

Computer Gaming:: Daggerfall, by Bethesda Softworks (link pending).

Computer Art:: Paint Shop Pro, versions 4 and 5. GREAT tools. Everything I need for photo work, and a fraction of Photoshop's cost. Download them for free, but don't forget to register!

Calligraphy and Illumination:: (links pending - for now just go to my meagre C & I page)

Worm Composting:: I just this very afternoon (May 31) managed to overcome my fear of handling worms enough to help Heather change the bedding for the worm composter. We now have MUCH, MUCH dirt. It's wild! The worms are kinda cool, really, once you bite down and touch the little freaky things. It was an afternoon well-spent. (links pending)
