Fan Tabulous

Played a little warhammer friday night, then came home and took things easy.  Saturday was more putzing around the house, then a fairly laborious process of rounding up materials and traveling into the contry for a fire spinning cookout.  Lots of new faces, and very interesting performances.  Fire spinning isn't just visual beautiful, the sounds is pretty amazing too.  The constant rush of the flames in the air, the way the spinner moves in and out of shadow.  I took one of the staffs and played with it a bit in the darkness, but unlit.  This could be worth looking in to.

Sunday my friend Carmen and his friend Greg came into town.  We went out to lunch for sushi, browsed Newburry comis a bit, then ended up back at the house for more conversations.  They had never really tried sushi before, so I suggested the boats, which they attacked with much gusto.  All the sushi was delicious, and I had a serious case of sushi face again with the black marlin.  My God, it's been too long.  I was a bit stalled for plans, but it turns out no plans were needed.  We talking most of the day away, ending with discussions of my legendary status in the State College LARP scene.  Apparantly someone out there wants to be me in the worst possible way.  How about that?

I'd seen some pretty awful movies lately, so I cleansed my cinematic pallate with Queen Margot.  Stunning.  Well worth seeing again.  Next up is the epic Gettysburg, which I'm really looking forward to.

Almost forgot

I saw A get on the T this morning at Central.  I hadn't seen her in ages, since she vanished out of mine (and mostly everyone else's) life.  She seemed to look right through me and stood facing away.  Business as usual, I thought.  When the train stopped at MIT, she got out, and she finally saw me.  Her eyes widened, her mouth curled up in a smile.  She didn't really say anything as she walked out, she didn't need to.

She smiled.  That was enough.
