I'll write up more about what happened when I both have the time and am not exhausted. However, I'm very pleased with the characters I came up with, even though the actual game wasn't quite as good as I'd wanted it to be.

Oddly, there's not a great deal to tell about my life right now. Most of it is consumed with weight watchers and trying to slim down. I promised I wouldn't post about that publically (I post plenty behind the lock), so I'll just mention it in passing, oh, and I've lost 15 pounds since I've started it. Which is a drop in the bucket for the amount that I'm overweight.
I made a batch of experimental salsa--roasted tomato, black bean and corn salsa. I'm curious how it'll turn out, but I don't think I'm going to know for at least a day, and from what I've read I get the feeling that the stuff is best 3-4 days after it's made. Er, at least, the stuff that I sort of based my recipe on. Which this kind of isn't very much like, except for having black beans and corn in it. We shall see! I also made my more normal roasted tomato chipotle salsa. That one ought to turn out well, tho I suspect it'll be quite fiery.
On the gaming front, at the end of the last session (oh crap, I never wrote it up), I sent my players off to WAR. Not that they know what the war's even about yet. They have some guesses, but I've set enough different things in motion it's going to be hard for them to really predict a whole lot of this. Some of what's going on has just been in the background and never made it to the players' knowledge. I'm looking forward to the next session, though I'm nervous about the scale of what's going on, and whether or not it'll actually work out in terms of fun play.
KublaCon is coming up around Memorial day. That one's going to be busy for me. I'm running a Feng Shui game there, as well as the bulk of the Shadowfist events. Should be interesting and exciting. And all those other things too.
I learned last night I make a really good margarita, now that I know how. And now I've gotten to put the martini and margarita glasses that Andrew got us for Christmas to use twice. Wish I had a place for them. We have so much stuff!
Also, I'm hungry now.
