Evil Bob: Lawful good since 2038!

I'm watching the 1990's Flash TV series as I type this, so attribute any lapses on my part to astonishment at the craptacular effects. This post is a simple life update, nothing too intense or meaningful.
I'm back from camp and actually feeling a bit re-energised. Unexpectedly, I had a great experience - the kids were great (which I pretty much expected - I'm their Year Adviser and I've fostered them fairly well, to blow my own trumpet), the activities were fun, the gym was open for basketball, the Christian Camp Leaders refrained from being pushy and the leeches stayed away. Not much more I could ask for, really.
I've secured a government grant for the school to encourage the use of Interactive Whiteboards in our classrooms, so I now have yet another drain on my gaming time. I really need to get out of this whole 'working' thing. Bob's got the right idea.
I played a really good game and a really lame one last night. The good one was Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay (3rd Edition). This was my first actual play and the game held up to the hype and my own personal excitement over it. Fantasy Flight has done something right by me once again.
The lame one was Heroes Incorporated. What a waste of a half-decent concept. The combination of uncompelling theme with generic mechanics and repetitive gameplay made it a fairly snoozish affair.
Avery and I built the new LEGO Ninja Ice Dragon today. It's so unfathomably awesome:
Finally, while I'm not writing anything down (because it would violate the rules), I am thinking about what to do for my entry to this year's 24 hour RPG contest. Obviously I can't say too much, but expect 118 character archetypes.
Tomorrow; GURPS Supers with Benj and the crew. Last session was the first that has had me interested in a very long time, so I'm looking forward to its continuation. To cut a long story short; I'm a Russian noble and artist, hosting a charity Christmas gala for the elite of St. Petersberg. Personal dramas are taking place for two members of my team. Then a big armoured Scorpion monster from the first few sessions of the campaign burst in through the door. Did I mention I have no combat powers?
