Nothing much going on today. Just another day at work. I try not to think too deeply about my days at work. 8 hours is far to long to spend on this stuff, but... eh... it's a living. I even managed to complete an expense report from my trip 2 months ago.... heh.
I much prefer the endless diversions of friends, good stories and fun games. I'm still working on pre-made characters for a d20 Modern game I'd like to run in later this month. We'll have to see how it goes though. There's lots to do around the house.
Some time on the ride to work I had another Modern campaign idea. Have the PC's play the handlers/personal assistants/security for a deranged celebrity or whacko politician. Sort of like "the Apprentice" or "the Osbournes"... I was also thinking of the Burt Reynolds character from Strip Tease. You could work out a wide variety of scenes that would mostly be non-FX and non-combat. Just an idea.
The other cool idea I had this week was about a business idea. I look around and I see folks struggling to get everything finished in their lives... too much work, too many house chores, too many appointments, etc. So I thought a community that offered "life management" might be attractive to some. Imagine a small housing and/or apartment community with all the usual luxuries. Now... the management company doesn't just mow your grass and fix your appliances, it also tracks your appointments, does your grocery shopping, cleans your house, does your laundry, etc. Maybe even (as an option) controls your diet and suggests excercise schedules. Naturally most of your income is consumed by the management company and you are left with only your truly expendible income for junk. Sounded plausible in my head...
Other random news. I think I need a new 2nd vehicle. The f-150 truck is great, but also chugs gas like a... a... well like a 20' truck. So I'm thinking I can get by with something smaller. Lower payment, lower insurance and lower gas. I'm thinking about a Hybrid (cuz they're kinda cool gadgets) or if not, then some other rice-burner foreign job. Any thoughts?
Time to pack up and head home so that I can watch the kidlets while my beautiful wife (she reads this ya'know) goes to class. Catch y'all later.
