Updates galore.
Friday: Skully’s Church Halloween. Put together a 5 minute costume because my original idea wasn’t panning out. Had good fun, drank plenty, made my lady happy.
Saturday: Started with a wicked hangover that I decided to ignore so I could Gina to Boo at the Zoo. The Zoo was awesome, and worth the pain it caused me. Highlights:
Wonder Woman: Not a zoo attraction per se’, but in the kids Batman, Wonder Woman, Joker show which we watched half of, the only bearable parts involved her turning around. Made the rest worth while.
Mexican Wolves: Got to see a sweet struggle for dominance.
Tiger: He was frisky, came right to the glass and paced up and down in front. Gina put her face against the glass to get his attention.
Oh hell, the Timber Wolves, Bobcat, all the different Bears, and a bunch of other animals were up and running around. The lesson is, go to the Zoo in fall, in the summer the animals are too hot to want to move.
Saturday night was Max and Erma’s followed by passing out by about 1:30.
Sunday: Larp…. Well, it wasn’t that bad. I had my first player tell me they weren’t coming back. Luckily it was a player who’s contributed nothing to the game for the last year but a bitchy attitude, so I feel fine about it. I have no time for people who assume every honest mistake anyone makes is cheating and malicious. Other than that, JoeJo’s is working out awesomely, and the Continent is a fine site for a larp. I have to figure out how to incorporate the two available sites better, but beyond that couldn’t be happier. This Sunday I’ll be hooking up my laptop to the speakers in the back and giving us our own game soundtrack.
Monday: Pumpkin Carving. I will put up pictures later, but Gina made a skeleton pirate, and I made a spider. Both by stencil. Aside from minor mishaps (like me carving my hand), they look good. Pumpkin carving made my girl happy, so that is the important part.
