Last week, I was interviewed by Vince and Mark of the Darker Days podcast (some of you may have noticed that being on the front page of white-wolf.com). The show was an absolute blast to do, Vince and Mark are great folks, and I was just sleep-deprived enough to be entertainingly crazy.

To give you an idea, I know we had were-chickens, the ossuary at Sedlec, Hunter, upcoming books, the Paris catacombs, Mage, the significance of human-relatable inhuman characters as evinced through the literary works of Iain M. Banks, Geist, and the secret origin of Steve Wilson: American Hero.

Seriously. I can run on at the mouth for hours. Go have a listen!

Spent yesterday entirely offline. Made a change and left me jumpy. I ended up writing three pages of LJ-style bollocks on a notepad. I no longer can tell which symptoms are due to nicotine deficiency, which are due to online deficiency, and which are solely due to being at home. All I know is that I need to get back to the land of wireless, of smoking, and of no fucking family.

Still. For record-keeping purposes:Loot )

Spent yesterday perpetually hungry, and had much the same problem today. I don't know if this is the appetite suppressing ability of nicotine or what. I dread to think.

For reference, tonight consisted of a huge meal, two bottles of wine between three, two bottles of brandy between three, and a bottle of single malt between the same three. And people wonder where I get it from. Hence, I'm being random.

I believe that my brother will be proposing to his grillfiend this coming year. This does not fill me with joy, and not just because I can't stand her. I dread to think what else the year brings.

Speaking of them: Presents rant )

I know what I'm doing next year for gifts. Because I feel bad for not giving, because I know people and I think they deserve something. But also because I'm usually close to my overdraft limit anyway. I have an idea, and if the rest of my resolutions work out they should be good gifts. Remind me closer to the time.

The entire family paused for Doctor Who last night. I pity those 'Merkians who get it late, I really do.

I had a random idea for something Arthurian. This could be something to do with reading "The Family Trade". But I need someone who knows their Arthurian mythology, so I can write it up. Probably something tasty to drop in my New Awakening setting. We shall see. Speaking of which, expect a massive collection/update sometime early in the new year, when I have time. I need to realign my tag use. I'll fix that when I have time. Along with fixing the site. Soon, soon. All happening soon. See how little I actually do.

Time off, at last. The couple of days for Samhuinn doesn't count, as that was all intentional and spent doing such things as building stages, carrying fire, and recovering. This is a day off with nothing to do. Well, nothing but reflect.

Back home tomorrow afternoon. Train leaves at four. Then, I get to spend a few wonderful[0] days at home, dealing with family and people and not smoking. It's a family occasion, so it's free living for four days, free food and free wine with the occasion meals. But it's also being around family, in a place that I know is near-terminally bad for my head. I think I'm going to write a lot, though if any of it is good enough even for the slushpile of this journal remains to be seen.

It's weird, thinking that I've been here ten months. Unlike every other time, I've no plans to bugger off elsewhere any time soon. But then again, better to get that out of the way before I officially turn into an Old Man[1] next year.

Now, all I need is something to do while I'm sat here. I can't waste all the day, you know.

[0]: For certain, specialised, values of the word
[1]: For values of "old" that just about nobody in my immediate peer group would agree with
