What else did I do this weekend? Oh yes... I entered the serious procrastination zone. I mean, I am a master of the art on a good day, but when I'm in a seriously stressed spot, then I exhibit pure genius. This time, in the form of redesigning the appearance of Abe, and discovering Vampire: the Masquerade.

When I'm really searching for things to do, I change my desktop. Of course, once I've done that, then I have to change my windows theme to match, don't I? I actually really liked my last desktop and theme - it was all greys and blues and it featured a great picture by Meilin Wong, who is an incredibly talented artist. Now, I have another fantastic picture I swiped off Elfwood. It's a evocative half-portrait, slightly abstract... beautiful colours. But it's on a black background, which makes the theme-matching hard. You see, black 3D objects really don't look very good at all. But that's a long, and fairly dull, story.

And as for the second, well it wasn't a real, true discovery, I suppose. I have heard of V:tM before. I've even browsed through the rule book. But I've never had an opportunity to play it, and I tend to steer away from system roleplays in any case. But I came across, in my meanderings, a roleplay that looks absolutely marvellous. Slightly more free-form than system (and now I'm degenerating into roleplaying jargon, someone slap me... thank you) it looks like something I'd really like to be involved in, so I applied to join. If anyone else is interested, this is the place.

Right, that's enough of that, then.
