So much to do, so little time

Man, there are just so many things I'm wanting to do these days and no where near enough time in each day to get it all done. While I really enjoy and appreciate the act of doing the things I love to do; sometimes I just wish I could read books like Data from Star Trek, or download TV shows into my brain instantly like on that one episode of Futurama.

Oh if you hadn't guessed by the references I made; all these things that are warring for my time are just leisure activities. Nothing of any REAL importance. Here's the list:

1) Doing research for the new character I'm going to be playing in Jeremy's sci-fi campaign. Shepard Liam Gudson. This involves rewatching Firefly to learn from Shepard Book, reading the books of the Bible that deal with the lives of Paul and Peter, reading another book about Paul, and reading a book about a missionary named Bill Wallace. I'd like to be doing all of these things simultaneously and at at least double time; cause I want all that info in my head when we play the first session on Sunday. Not going to happen of course, but doesn't stop me from wanting it. LOL.

2) Last Exile. Beautiful, beautiful series. I recently recommended it to a friend and since he has been enjoying it so much I've decided I really want to watch it again myself; so ya even more hours of TV to watch.

3) I'm also finishing up my Mouse Guard campaign, trying to plan how to run a portion of it for Magpie Night (with 6 players to boot), and trying to finish up the Burning Empires book so that I can move on to finding a system to run another fantasy campaign idea I have in my head in.

Add in all the TV shows I try to keep up with, my usual social gaming activities; and a full work week and my free time is at quite a premium these days. But I guess its better than being overloaded with other more stressful things and the like. Anyway, I'm hoping to get a more normal job starting next month (at the least I'm going to be very aggressively attempting to get one) so hopefully a more standard schedule will help me do more that I want to do.
