Dec. 16th, 2025 07:57 pmThis has not been a good week so far. It's been bitterly cold out the past two days, our router broke yesterday morning, and though Verizon sent someone to fix it this morning the wifi's still being a little testy, and apparently my brother-in-law is now sick. Not to mention I spent much of today discovering exactly how cataloging giant OCLC introducing AI into their system is just going to create more work for us catalogers, since we can't rely on the records involving it to be accurate.
It's supposed to warm up starting tomorrow, though. Good thing, too, since for the second week in a row, my D&D group is meeting to try to figure out where we go from here. Last week the number of players officially shrunk down to three, though one of them has now invited a couple of his friends to join us, and the DM decided to abandon the current campaign and start over. I've got to think up another character. Maybe a rogue. I don't know. Last week we also finished the "Death House" short adventure he ran for the three of us, only revealing in the end it's actually the opening adventure for Curse of Strahd. Which he was not now going to run for us without warning, he was quick to say. Though honestly, if I ever do play it, I will likely use the gnome cleric I created for the Death House. She feels like the right kind of character to use for that.
