Week of Nothing
It's been a little over a week since I've been off work, and I haven't really accomplished anything that I wanted to so far. Days off seem to pass by so quickly if you blink you'll miss them. So nothing terribly exciting happened either, but there was a few highlights.
Canada Day had a barbecue at my place with some friends that I called at the last minute. It was fun, and it's always nice to see their three year old son Alex. He's very entertaining. Then we went to see the fireworks downtown. They were pretty good, but not as good as last year when we stood on the high level bridge and they seemed to be right above us. My question is though; Why must people turn any public event into an opportunity to get drunk and yell various incoherencies off your balcony?
The next day was the first game of Fallen Angels at Mary's cabin. The cabin was super nice, as soon as we found it of course. Just a note the cabin is not in fact at Alberta Beach like some people's girlfriends had suggested. It was okay though as people were kind of lazing around looking very tired as if they hadn't slept the night before. Of course the excitement ramped up as the game started, and everyone got into it. The game was excellent, and everyone was really sad when it was called. The mark of a really excellent game. Despite what Cory says though I felt like I didn't really connect with my character. I can do evil, and make all sorts of nasty plots, but I have trouble being really mean in a game. Plus I hate posing for pictures. Never works for me.
The week as I said kind of went by in a blur. Nothing really exciting.
On Friday I was excited though as I was going on a date with Shani. My co-workers had gotten me a gift certificate to Brewsters as a parting gift, a restaurant which I enjoy, and I knew Shani likes. We had a good meal although both of us got really stuffed on their heavy beer, and had to get it packed up. Afterwards we went to the Big Mall to see a movie. We had ice cream, and we decided to see War of the Worlds. I'm really not sure what my opinion was of it. It was a good movie with a lot of human drama as Tom Cruise tries to keep his family safe in the midst of an alien invasion. I think the problem was that the drama didn't really get to me except at a few key parts. The acting was good, and I actually bought Tom Cruise as a blue collar, bad dad. Both of the kids were excellent as well though I didn't really understand his son's desire to head towards the fighting constantly. The ending is pretty faithful to the book, and I could see how people who hadn't read it would be disappointed. I liked it anyways, and the voice over at the end gave me chills. After that all I can say is that we went for a drive before I took Shani home.
Sunday was Shani's, Werewolf Game in the Park. Another good game that I really got into as my character took center stage. Lots of plotting, and I managed to make an enemy. Wheee! The problem I have is when the cliche comes up, "We have to work together for the good of the city, or else we're doomed." It's not just the Werewolf game either, as it comes up in almost every game. I understand why it's there, and it makes sense that the characters should work together. I just really don't like it when everyone is all happy and teamworky. This chronicle of Purgatory too it has seemed like no one can cross the street without getting their entire clan, the primogen council, and all of their friends to facilitate them. I'm exaggerating of course as their has also been a lot of backstabbing, and conflict.
So today it feels like I'm coming down with a cold. Despite my ten hours of sleep I don't feel like doing anything so my projects are going to be further delayed.
So I'll end today with a message for a special someone as ordered.

I loves you Sweetie. That was just a bad dream. I'm not breaking up with you over my blog. See. Hugs and kisses.
