Yay Weekend
Got sick Thursday afternoon and went home early. I'm not sure what was wrong with me, but if I had to guess it was either some sort of allergy or a head cold. I staid home Friday mostly because I still felt bad, I was caught up on my work and didn't want to sit at my desk all day feeling slightly marginal.
It was nice to spend the day at home Friday with the wife, she worked on school stuff and I rested and played Fallout 2.
Played games on Saturday with the regular group, we had a big group this time, topping off at 10. I got to play AGoT again, and again I didn't win or come close to it, in fact I was very nearly eliminated from the game..only Aldie's agreement not to crush me and then my backstabbing him saved me. We played a game called King Me, which was light and fluffy, but I thought it was plenty of fun. We then played Smarty Party and eventhough it's just a party game it's still a lot of fun, I didn't win, but I didn't finish last either :-)
After games we went to a Stanley Cup appearance in Plano with friends from the gaming group. They're part of a retired Greyhound adoption group and this was a fund raiser for them. We paid too much for tickets, it was for charity, and got our picture taken with the cup. Craig Ludwig was there. It was a nice evening spent with friends...all-in-all it was enjoyable.
Sunday we skipped Church, wife didn't want to go and I didn't feel very good again...and I had a cough. So we staid in and hung out. We went to the Dallas Fetish ball that night with friends and it wasn't quite the groovy experience it had been last year. Maybe the 'shock' and newness of the event wore off since we had expectations this time, but I don't think I was the only one disappointed. I heard muttered comments from other event goers and personally I think that either the Ball has outgrown the Lizard Lounge or that someone dropped the ball on organization. Either way, it was still mildy entertaining, though way too much money was spent that I'd rather have kept. Oh well.
