I must be crazy...

I've taken on this project. It's directly related to my (currently) most involving hobby. Pen and Paper RPGs for those of you who don't know. Basically, I'm redesigning the way Magic works so I can integrate it more flexibly into the system I most enjoy playing with.
It's a big project. The basics of it are easy enough, and I've almost gotten them all finished. The problem is that to be complete and thorough with it, I'll have to take every single spell in the existing rules and do a minor rewrite to make it fit my new system. Very labor intensive, even if it's not very difficult. The final results would be about 200 or 300 pages long.
I'm not planning to do all of that yet. I just want to get the basic mechanics worked out and get some feedback on those. Heck, I may even post the results here for a longer-term storage space.
I'm excited about this project, even though it's a huge amount of work. We shall see what happens.

That's nice.

I managed to pass all my classes. With A's no less. Go me.

Recently, my life seems to have done that shrinking thing that it does. Basically, it gets more and more focused on a very few of my activities until I begin to think that those are the only things I do. I used to be all about the job and video games, and occasionally books, because those were the things that I did regularly. Then my contract ended and I got back into conversations, school, hanging out, and all the other stuff that I'd been ignoring or neglecting. Recently I've noticed that narrowing of focus. It's been most apparent when I try to have a conversation and all I can talk about are classes, gaming, and any video game or movie that I've seen in the last 72 hours or book I happen to be reading. That's it.
I'm kind of annoyed with myself over that. There are so many more interesting things in the world in general and my life in particular that I could invest time in. Instead I've chosen to focus on just a couple of topics. This is very annoying when I get into a conversation and run out of material in the first 20 minutes. Sure, I can talk about religion or philosophy or politics but people tend to be very stubborn and irrational about such things making any discussion about them no fun at all.
Bah. Maybe I'll start running again. I do have enough free time for it...
