one tough weekend

the picnic was actually pretty cool - decent food, a long talk with one of the quieter girls in our office and some not-bad frisbee. then i had a shirt made with an airbrush caricature of my face on a camel's body - my kind of weird :P

i bladed back home, showered and took my restrung guitar and the stand i'd picked up for singer to her place for an evening of eating and music until i was too tired to do anything but slowly shuffle home and into bed.

i spent today watching house (too much of that series can make one fairly paranoid about environmental health threats), reading comics and beginning a new vtm campaign. the new storyteller's a bit difficult to follow - he speaks funny - but his ideas a pretty good. and i *love* the character i wrote up.

shit - i can't believe i've been looking for a group for so long without success, and here i am participating in three different games simultaneously. yes!

i'm absolutely exhausted, the sink is full of dishes (scrapper made a pretty decent dinner) and i'm concerned about how i'm going to get up in an hour to put in my eye-drops... all this medication is really messing with my schedule. and to make it worse - i think i should walk to work because i've been exerting myself while my body's trying to heal, and that's not a good idea.

ah - almost forgot: this morning i signed up for a skype package whose advertisement found its way into my mailbox this morning. 120 free minutes to call south african landlines? sweet!

i'm still laughing about a slightly embarrassing incident that just occurred: scrapper left my computer logged in to his facebook account. i updated "my" status, posted a piratey link (he's a ninja) and then logged out as soon as i'd realized what was going on, but before i could undo the damage i'd done :P

here's some amusing south african slang i came across yesterday

renegade's coming to town - a pity i'm going to be out of the country... that's the waitress i ran into before our high school reunion :P

now that it's a retrospective, i found the order of the stick's gygax tribute very artfully done :)

the end of the ballroom blitz video reminds me of a quake level.

dan piraro has just informed me that i require a penguin.
