The best laid schemes o' mice an' men
Gang aft a-gley

Unlaid schemes give back what you put into them. At some point in the recent past I schemed to participate in some live roleplaying games at CanCon 2003, listen to the Triple J 2002 Hottest 100 countdown, watch the live broadcast of Superbowl XXVII and generally spend the Australia Day long weekend in the company of friends and beer. However when it came time I had done nothing to organise any of this and achieved only 4% of my calendar of social events. On the other hand I did play a 15 hour session of Jon's Dungeons and Drangons game, had concept and character generation sessions (with beer) for Dave's new Hero Wars-based game, chatted to Kelly Osbourne about Iron Crown Enterprise's Middle Earth Role Playing game and spent $200 in the dealer's room at CanCon 2003. Which was nice. Next year I will scheme to watch the live broadcast of Superbowl XXXVIII, listen to the Triple J 2003 Hottest 100 countdown, participate in some live roleplaying games and dispose of most of my collectable cards via the second hand dealer's stall at CanCon 2004. (This reminds me of my exercise scheme which is significantly behind schedule at 66% of its spurious intended temporal correlation.)
