the curse of TMA?
Feb. 15th, 2020 07:47 pmThe day before yesterday I introduced a work colleague to The Magnus Archives. (Yes, I am shamelessly seeking out opportunities to tell people about it.) She was interested, so I played the first episode for her while we worked, and she loved it. She has a long commute and was excited about the prospect of something cool to listen to.
And my innocent act of evangelism seems to have brought down a curse upon us. That evening, while driving home, my colleague was in a minor car accident (not her fault, no one hurt, insurance taking care of damaged car). The next morning, while I was taking my walk, as yet unaware of colleague's accident, I stumbled over an uneven sidewalk and fell hard. My glasses flew off but fortunately didn't break, I hit my head (which I didn't realize until considerably later, when I looked in a mirror and saw a little dried blood on my forehead), scraped and bruised my knees and my hand, and bruised some ribs as well.
I'll be fine but I am quite sore. I blame the city for not maintaining the damn sidewalks better, and Jonathan Sims for his cursed creation.
Colleague is somewhat surprisingly still enthusiastic about TMA, and said things like ( slight spoilers for early episodes under the cut )
In other Rusty Quill-related developments, I have some thoughts about things in Rusty Quill Gaming through episode 37, "Ups and Downs," but mostly about 34, "Gai Paris," ( under the cut )
