Whee, I feel a big plate of sick coming on, of the run-down-blah variety. Been feeling it down deep since early evening. I hope that I can still make the final Chicken Heart recording session. I don't think I'll be that sick. We'll see. The thing is that I haven't really been ill since we set up in December, and I fear that my luck'll run out before winter does.



Propped on my elbow in bed, I mistyped Chicken Heart as Chick3en Heart, and I think of some sort of post-cyberpunk reimagining of it. Please don't.



Went to a perfectly fine housewarming party tonite. I had picked up on some worries about possible social tensions, but to my eye these were absent or at least quietly averted. It's true that I'm often not very good at spotting these things, but I do believe that my friends do OK by each other. So says jmac.

As with the famous housewarming at Highland Avenue I helped host 3.75 years ago, there was relatively little mixing of tribes. My glob kept largely to the living room, and we were many, so it was OK. Sometimes someone would go into the kitchen to hear the theater geeking a little better (or to get at the fruit plate or the booze), and sometimes a theater geek or bookstore employee would wander into our section if they had something to add about Abba or Nerf or whatever we were going on about. Or to get to the cookies. We should have established trade routes.

Whoah... I just posted about Volity Fluxx to Looney Labs' Fluxx mailing list, and now there's people all over the system, according to the game finder. Though I see that most tables are in Setup mode, and have been for a while... are people having trouble figuring out how to start?

Should I swing by the tables and say hi? I don't like doing that... it feels like putting implied pressure on people to play, at least if they're strangers.

[livejournal.com profile] daerr just noted to me that Fluxx takes 10-15 seconds to load even on a fast Mac. This is because the file is bloody huge; beyond the zillion JS function, there's three separate versions (thumbail, closeup, "alt" view) of each card in the deck getting loaded into memory before you can even see the table. I wonder if it would load faster if the cards were constructed on the fly. Probably, but it might not run any faster...
