Sleep Mode

This was a quiet weekend. Friday's mage game was quite small, but a lot of fun. New elements were introduced and the time table advanced towards it's harrowing conclusion. Several of the players showed up as NPC's which is always fun. I resisted the urge to go clubbing that night, and relaxed around the house. Kahula and milk is fast becoming one of my favorite relaxation drinks.

Saturday was given over to a pre-release V:TES tournament. I made it to the finals with my chose deck, and hung in there until one big mistake cost me the game. 3rd out of 18 is just fine, considering I haven't played in a year, according to the people who saw me Saturday.

Today I had to work really hard to get anything done at all. My plans to hang out with M fell through, but I really liked having the day to myself. I made it to the gym, cleaned the house and attic a little, and in general luxuriated in doing Nothing. The week is filling up rather quickly with events, so a day of rest is all for the best.

It feels like card playing might edge out war gaming for a while. The last league I was in was unfulfilling at best, and I haven't had the urge to paint anything for a while. And Cris has pointed out a number of books I might enjoy reading.
So many hobbies, so little time....

I've never played V:TES, but I've got hundreds, if not thousands, of Magic cards. I'd be happy to take you on in Magic anytime, and even loan you cards to build a deck if you want.

You would righteously kick my ass for I have never played magic. I'd offer to teach you V:TES in return, but it really requires 4 players.

Of course I could also teach you Warhammer in return...

Either way it looks like I'm doomed to pick up another cash-intensive hobby. Alas.
