(GURPS) Eric Jacobson, Gamified - Year Fifteen

I am in zero part of the holiday spirt.  Traditions have a sense of purpose, so it makes sense to continue one of the long-standing holiday traditions of the blog:  gamifying my on-again off-again dream journal, and translating them into character points for a GURPS (3rd Edition) version of myself.  I've been doing things this way for over 30 years, and the dream version of myself isn't some glorified super-hero...

It's Tom Arnold character from True Lies (Albert Gibson).... and this year he's a little more tired than normal.

I'm also amused to find the Netflix series FUBAR was an unofficial follow-up to True Lies, and they did have Tom Arnold in it as Norm, an interrogator. 

After the last couple of years, turning into an interrogator sounds soothing.

324.5 Points

It's been a rough year for good sleep.  Cinematic bit character me has not become a master interrogator (especially since I already have a point in the skill), just staying in share, joining the agency softball team, and getting some time in the NYC field office.
