games and grumpiness and go team uuugh *thump*

In the morning [livejournal.com profile] jtroutman met with [livejournal.com profile] daerr and I, and gave me even more things to do before Wednesday. Press releases, flyers. We'll see.

Games at [livejournal.com profile] dougo's. Was taught Richard Borg's new Command & Colors: Ancients and played it twice. Loved it, though too bad about the giant step down in production quality from Memoir '44. I really don't mind using wood blocks instead of plastic miniatures, but the Battle Cry-style dice are unfortunate and the paper-thin board, terrain tiles and even playing cards are a crying shame.

People with industry ties there, and got some good networking and some lame networking in, though I can smooth over the latter in email. Had fun watching [livejournal.com profile] dictator555 get beaten up by a baby while teaching people to play Settlers of the Stone Age but then it was time to join [livejournal.com profile] doctor_atomic and company for the Venture Brothers season two premiere. That was a good time.

Now, though, I am grouchy because a jokey thing went sour, putting me into a bad mood that followed me all the way home. I think really I just have a high base level of grouchiness going on, between having no money or time and... oh, yeah, I guess that's all of it.

J lent me Perdido Street Station. I haven't read any fiction in weeks. I think I'll go to bed with it now. Way too much to do tomorrow, including a new Gamut release before the Werewolf test if I can swing it.

I wanna do the license thing tomorrow, but, grunt, it's occurred to me that they might make me surrender my license to get the temp Mass one, leaving me with no valid-looking photo ID at all. So I will have to call and ask them about it first. I hate calling about stuff like this. Bleaaah.

I have flown on a fax of a passport (my wallet was stolen). I'm pretty sure I also flew on one of those temp (non-)drivers licenses. Both of these were within the last four years.

You don't need to give up your license; they won't ask for it. If they do, say you lost it. But they won't.
