A Pina Colada at Trader Vic's
Diane,
Work has improved somewhat. I'm still swamped, but I have a goal and some guidelines in motion that seem to be working. There's a temp add-on that supposedly coming, and chances are it will be one of my fellow temps from my days at Uncle Herb's Cubicle Farm.
I finally came to a decision about gaming. Gaming will be on Fridays. I told the monday group that I would be shutting it down after Hughes High ends in a couple weeks. I game them priority slots on Friday, but nobody took them. It was sad, really, but something had to give. The deal maker was the time I has at the premiere of Changeling - good drama, good time with friends, and a yummy dinner. I'm sure someday I'll get a game together with the crew from Monday nights again, but for now, the end is near.
Last night was a lovely evening at No Disassemble and Fortinbras' place. It was a large nerd gathering that watchd the debates with bits of snarky commentary here or there. Neither guy delivered a Knockout Blow, but debates are usually Rorschach tests to begin with. Afterwards, Rovcket Boots came by and taught us how to play Mafia aka Are You A Werewolf? It's a fun little game of accusations, treason, and betrayal. We played it for the rest of the night, changing each time to a different theme (Witches, 1950's Communists, Arkham Migo Cultists, etc.) I think a game of Cylons would go over great at the next Bunny Thing, xbeyondinsanex . It was fun enough that I didn't even mind that the big tub of games I brought went unplayed.
