Last night I was able to see my Grandma Moreland for the first time since her 80th birthday party in 2003. Today is her birthday, so last night she, Chris, Candace, Mary, Frank, Alison and I went to Sofia's for dinner. Grandma is in a wheelchair now, because she is not stable walking and gets tired so easily. It was wonderful to see her, even though she seems depressed and not really herself. I hope it's the travel wearing on her and not a decline in her health. She and Pat and Denise were going to come down one night next week to have dinner, but now that I know how hard it is for her to get around, I think she'd have too much difficulty with all our stairs, so Alison and I will probably go up to Tappan to see them there. Anyway, at dinner we drank a lot of wine. Then we went back to their hotel across the street (the Marriott Marquis) and tried to open a bottle of wine there, but the corkscrew was from a dollar store and broke, so we went to the bar downstairs and I had a Johnny Walker red because I forgot that it's JW black that I like. Then I had a whisky sour. We were really drunk, so we all went our separate ways. Tonight Mary, Frank, Alison and I are going to see "Wicked," which will be really exciting.
I've been playing a lot of Final Fantasy VII this week. I don't know why, but I got the urge and I'm back in the RPG addiction. I never finish long games like this, though. I've only ever finished FF3 and FF9. I am really far in FF8, Crono Cross, Fable, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, and Sudeki but now that I've gotten away from the story, I feel like I'd have to start over and that makes me sad, so I just never play them. I want to start a real rpg sometime, not just a video game. There are cheap D&D starter sets at the bookstore. Would anyone be interested in some beginners games if I got one? Anyone? We can keep it a secret if you're worried about your pride.
I don't know why I'm asking. No one ever responds to anything in my entries any more. I think I post too infrequently, and thus make too long of entries for people to really read or be concerned with anything any more. No one even noticed my group I started. I think I'm going to delete it. It was a stupid idea to begin with.
I am going to go back to the game now. I'll never finish my book if I keep this up.
