Things I wish my fellow drivers would not do.

1. Cut off semi trucks, even "just" to get to the lane on the far side.
2. Especially when they're next to me.
(Yes, I'm fine, no accident; just scared me. Glad the lane to the right was clear!)
3. Talk on their cell phones while driving.
4. Gesticulate widely with their free hand while doing so. Folks, the guy on the other end of the call CANNOT SEE YOU. And I am happier if you have at least ONE hand on the WHEEL.
(No, he didn't cause an accident either. At least, not while he was near me. I'm sure he'll manage it some day.)

Today ROCKED.

I got stuff done at work, felt very productive. That is always nice.

Then I came home and played in the Seventh Sea roll and keep game that Scott runs. That was a blast in a lot of ways. the dice were wacky - everyone had horrid or excellent rolls, only a few were mediocre. Scott told me on one roll (where I had 6K4, mind you) that it was hard, and did I want to take any raises. I said no - and got a 54, I think? (Turned out the TN was 40, so raises really would have been risky, though as it turned out I could've done a couple. Sheesh. I got the key info, anyway.) On another roll, I had a 7k3 and got a 65. One eight, one nine, and one ten that exploded repeatedly to a total of 48. Everyone else was staring at my dice by the end of it. So was I. Shiny!

That one was a social roll. People were exchanging gossip about where ships were going and so on, and trying to get the info out of each other. Isa was demurring and saying she didn't know. The roll? The roll was because Isa was trying to react each time she heard a mention of Vodacce, as if she was interested in it but trying to pretend she wasn't. (Actually, she wasn't interested in it, and was trying to pretend she was, but pretend she was trying to pretend she wasn't interested.) A whole lotta folks were convinced that Isa knew more than she was saying, AND that her ship had an interest in Vodacce, by the time she was done. I love my little schemer, but that dice roll was hysterical. (I'd only taken three raises, but I think Scott gave me a little extra oomph for the sheer improbability of the roll. I may be wrong and it was just an easy TN. Who knows!)

Then I got home to a ship'n'click notification from Black Phoenix Alchemy Labs. I'm betting that's my smaller order, the Blue Moon order, since it was placed first and is in the right time frame for what's currently being processed. It didn't go out until this evening so presumably the order will actually be picked up or dropped off or whatever tomorrow, meaning I might see it Saturday if I'm lucky and Tuesday (argh, holiday weekends!) is more probable. Still - it's READY. Besides my Blue Moon, it has a few imps, among them Queen Alice which I really would like to get. The bigger order was placed not-quite-two weeks later, and had a large number of imps, so I'm not sure when I'll see it. Hopefully sometime in June, anyway.
