after a very rough day, i somehow managed to make it through until 4pm. that’s when i headed across town to meet up with travis and jen to play some magic and eat some sushi (and get in some kitty-love with his cat, amy). i was crazy early at our rendezvous point, but luckily for me, christopher was in the neighbourhood and he came to meet me. we stopped in the nearby pub for a quick drink and then entered the lair of gaming geeks to purchase a deck for jen.
chris will no doubt go on about the overwhelming dorkiness and how he felt like just entering such a place erroded his cool quotient, but i think the puppy dog like eagerness of the two guys who everso intensely helped us was kind of sweet. in a totally dorky way, of course.
then it was off to travis’ place where chris somehow made a beeline for the copy of the Schoolhouse Rock dvd on the shelf. we subjected jen to four or five grammar rock songs & “i’m just a bill” before sittng down at the table to indoctrinate her into the goodness of collectable card gaming.
i think everyone had a good time. i know *i* certainly did. the deck i bought was awesome and the slow pace we took to teach jen helped me remember a lot of things i thought i’d long-ago forgotten about the game. i won the last game, but i’m pretty sure that’s only because clint had to leave halfway through to catch his bus.
i didn’t get home until well after midnight and asleep until well after 1am, so i’m a very tired girl today. my head feels very weird and all i want to do is go home and get back into bed. thank goodness i have nothing planned for tomorrow daytime, so i can stay in bed for as long as i damn well please. it’ll be lovely. lovely, i say.
the nikon people called yesterday & my camera is ready to pickup. unfortunately, i have lunch plans and there’s no way i’m going to negotiate the knight street bridge on a friday night after work, even if i could get out of here a little early. i’ll just have to go monday (which kind of sucks since it means i won’t have the d70 for the parade of lost souls tomorrow night). what was surprising is they said three days for sensor cleaning turnaround and they called just shy of 24 hours after i dropped it off. yay nikon!
sorry for the haircut blogging these days. i can’t seem to find any time to dedicate to anything more thoughtful. i can’t seem to find time for much of anything these days. i spent the morning listening to a local radio station trying to give $100,000 away to some lucky listener. i realized that that kind of money would solve a lot of my stresses by eliminating my debt, pay for a new car in cash. i could afford things to make my life more comfortable like a new couch and mattress, things to make my life more fun like vacations to places not on this continent, things to enhance my creativity like a photo printer and craft-related sundries. alas, i didn’t win the hundred g’s. some guy named brock did. brock. what kind of name is that? anyway, yeah… if anyone has a hundred-grand they don’t need, i could use it to change my life. thanks.

  1. Haircut blogging is better than no blogging, in my opinion at least :)
    What was the $100,000 sound afterall? I spent part of my morning at work listening to people try to guess, but had to turn it off before anyone figured it out.
