It was a good weekend. The game friday night went pretty well, even though we only had 4 party members of a possible 7 or so.

saturday evening we went to dice to play pirate's cove - though we didn't actually play that game. by the time we all got there, two games were already going and we weren't going to have time to start a new one... ...so we played carcassonne instead - which, unlike the 'city' version of the game, is not so complicated that it causes the players to lose the will to live (as william put it). It's a pretty fun game... ...one i'll have to get eventually. I didn't end up winning, but i had the strangest city on the board.

on sunday i got an idea for a new game of my own. i told gigner and llama that the idea has some aspects of most of the games we've played recently and this prompted them to think up the running development title for this game - which is also the title of this post.

until next time...

well, i think i'm getting over this thing. we're still debating on whether i should go to the doctor, but i've been feeling progressively better the last few days...and it hasn't been a week yet...so...

ginger went and got me started on Baldur's Gate II - which is destined to waste a good bit of my time for a while... ...or, at least, give me something to do in the evenings...

the weekend was pretty slow - with me being sick and all - but it was relaxing which is what was needed. we did get to go to Dice to play 'Ticket to Ride' last night - that's a fun little board game.

i think for the first time ever, i called off a game this week because i was sick. ordinarily i probably wouldn't have cared - especially because we play here - but i wouldn't want to give whatever this is to anyone else.

for reasons i'm not entirely sure of, i am finding myself conscious and online before 6am on a saturday, and i don't particularly want to go back to bed...(though i probably will)... ...though the fact that i slept a good deal of yesterday might have something to do with it.

driving a jeep feels so good after being stuck in a taurus for a few months. Not that i have anything against sheri's car per se, but it's much more comfortable for her 4'1l"-ness.

it's irritating when people get upset because you won't help them to lie. if they want to lie to people so they can cheat them out of their money, that's one thing - they just better not expect me to help them (or give them the ability, as the case may be) to do it.

grr.

well, my parents have left...and this is sad. we had a lot of fun though....

they came in on saturday afternoon and stayed till this evening. We took apart the jeep, watched some movies, hiked to Laurel Falls, and put the jeep back together again - in that order. We also got to go to Cootie Browns and the Crazy Tomato.

My jeep is all fixed up now - for the first time in a few months. Aside from being banged up a little from the accident i had a few months ago, it had the worst radiator problem my dad has ever seen - and, since my dad has seen pretty much everything to do with cars, that's saying something. Anyway, I can actually go places now! yay! (not that i...uh...have any place to go...)

woo-hoo! Lain, my new computer, is finally up, running and fully-functional. Only took me about 5 days. sheesh. oh well, it works beautifully now.

i have, sadly, been neglecting this site since poor penpen died. I think it was a period of mourning - to abstain from my usual penguin-posting in order to reflect on the life of an old friend.

we had a pretty good game last week, though i think i put poor william to sleep at least twice.

in other news, i think my parents are coming to visit this weekend! i'm looking forward to this. haven't seen them for a good while.

other things are pretty much the same.
