Sunday

And so the weekend ends. The weather is a lot better today than yesterday - yesterday was chilly and wet; today is warm and sunny. And breezy. The living room is livable, which is awesome. And in an hour and a half, we'll have the new Doctor Who to watch.

Yesterday we went out to the mall. Jilly picked up an outfit for the cruise. I picked up some jeans, swim trunks, sandals, and a nice work shirt. Between this week and last week I'm set - I now have infinite more pairs of shorts than before, for instance (from 0 to 5). Yaaay shorts. :)

Today was Father's Day brunch. Good company. We'll leave it at that and not discuss the food.

Which brings us to this week. To do:

write a DC report (need to just add Steve's DST awards and hit send)
plan a Forsaken game
write up a plotkit for Nick
do a mage write-up

I'll probably work on the first three items tomorrow night. I will also likely hang out on Mirc for any online RP people want - just let me know if there's a need.

Have gotten most of the way through Sharpe's Triumph. The Sharpe series is actually pretty good, following the exploits of a British Sergeant in the midst of India. Good descriptions of historical events, good action. Richard Sharpe would probably be best described as the Bruce Willis of colonial England.

Having almost finished it, though, that leaves the question as to what I read next:

• Traitor, the next in the NJO series
• Starfighters of Adumar, the last X-wing novel I didn't own until earlier this weekend.
• Arrows of the Queen, a ML novel that I purchased on northernminx's recommendation.
• The Thirteen Gun Salute, the next O'Brian novel
• Something else (suggestions welcome)

Hell, I'm about to go on a 7 day cruise, so its not like more reading ideas are unwelcome. Otherwise I'll just have to bring a bunch of computer books. :)

I can pack the sequels to Arrows of the Queen if you want to read those on the cruise. Aaron and I also picked up a couple different card games we are bringing for nights of sitting around goofing off.

Uno. I demand uno.

(I stupidly love that game)

I will also pack munchkin which I know you don't personally like if I recall - but with this group could be entertaining if only to see us all wheeling and dealing.

We have Munchkin, and Phase 10 and Fluxx and one that is something to do with Mad scientist that looks similar to the others, all are coming with us. I do not have Uno. Sorry.

PS. I am okay with Munchkin as long as the people I am playing with do not get obnoxious over it. But I am that way with any game.

Totally agree with you there - I've played Munchkin with groups that get entirely nasty about it, and I've played it with groups that don't. The latter is infinitely preferable to the former.

recallinng the individuals that used to play it around us... point taken ;)

Okay I'll get uno and I'll bring one expansion deck for the munchkin (too many cards on boat bad)

Eeeeeeeeeeee.

Now if I could just find a job!

Thank you! Steve has them, though, so I'll likely raid his room. :)
