Finished two major essays last week for Business Law and Economic Decision Making. The former involved contract law theory and analysis of a company contract (I chose a service level contract for an computer system, which I am sure is a surprise to everyone). The latter was an analysis of the implementation of a 'cap and trade' scheme for greenhouse emissions and particularly their effect on the electricity industry - and how that industry put out its hand in a big way to receive "compensation". I took a line that they've had enough of a free lunch already and other examples of externalities might apply instead.
Last week when getting off the bus after work, I encountered a young guinea pig running along Princess Street. It seemed a bit worried about the lights and many cars, so I scooped it up and took it home. So now we have yet another furry creature in our home; this one has been named Furfur, as it spends time with the equally demonically named rabbits, Astaroth and Murmur. The count is now; three rats, two rabbits, one manx cat, one guinea pig, one turtle and several fish.
With the receipt of Russell Bailey's interview piece I've finally had the opportunity to release seventh issue of RPG Review. Last Thursday we had another session of Dragon Age, which was primarily a 'kill monsters and get some more backstory'. It contrasted significantly with the RuneQuest-Glorantha game I ran on Sunday which was all role-playing and no action (but lots of rising tension). The scenario is based around "Return to Snakepipe Hollow", which was published in RQ Adventures in the early 90s and involves Dwarves, which in Glorantha terms are pretty much robots - good fun to roleplayin in a fantasy setting.
