NOT GAMES

I got about 15 lbs of Yerba Mate I ordered in bulk. I honestly don't mind the taste, especially cut with a little mint. The only problem is "Chai Spice Mate": Too much chai spice for me to deal with.

I'm starting to consider the benefits of a EEE PC. Will have to gather friends' success stories with them.

Nasty cold sore under tongue, feels like a slug in my mouth. It's better, though.

Talked to Nikolai last week, it felt wonderful to get in touch. Now I have to track down Drew and do the same.

I gained another level doing squats, 300lb (x20). I am now a 3rd level Lifter/6th level Yoga-er.

I need to find a new protein powder/supplement. Gold Standard or Muscle Milk are looking like good candidates, but may want to give a soy one a shot due to lactose issues.

Turned on the Christmas Lights in the house again: Feels like winter now. Love it.

First nabe of the season: Kimchee with chicken and fish. Delicious.

GAMES

Went to a game con this weekend. As expected, gained 3 pounds. I will sweat it out this week in the gym.

Played Dragon Age Origins on the PS3 last week for a few hours. I'll end up picking this up, but maybe in a few weeks when I'm done with some side-work (Tenra). Nice graphics. A little too weird in places, though: All of a sudden WHAM I pick up 3 lifelong traveling companions in like 20 minutes? Space this shit out more, yo.

MACE: I liked going as a player. Only issues: Some rooms were freezing the entire con. The bearded cosplay dude running HarnMaster and his boom-box blasting prog-rock the entire weekend (whether he was running anything or not). The Sheraton(?) turned into a Best Western, and is kind of a dive now. If it's at the same venue next year I might have to consider options strongly.
I liked the events I was in. I liked sitting at a table where it turns out all the other 4 players are members of S-G that I didn't recognize. Best games were the ones where 1-2 friends were involved.
Considering that gas, food, lodging and con cost a bit over $100 for the weekend, I'm thinking what I could do with some friends in the Triangle for like $30 per person: Find an office or gamespace, host friends in people's houses, basically organize a mini-con over a weekend or something...

I need to find a new protein powder/supplement. Gold Standard or Muscle Milk are looking like good candidates, but may want to give a soy one a shot due to lactose issues.

Jerry tells me that GenCon is coming up. I kinda cried a little inside.

Once the dust of prior commitments settles, I'm diving into a HELLAS campaign.
