the nothing encroaches

oh, wow. nutritionally, this weekend was a total washout. starting thursday, i feel like i consumed mostly junk food and i suspect that that's a valid reason for having been up half the night with a rather tender belly. right now i'm feeling in particularly bad shape :(

i didn't do much yesterday, and then it was time to be off to the blues brothers screening for carcassonne and belgian waffles.

1. a conflict between the map on the place's website and reality led pg and i on an hour-long walk in the wrong direction. it was just warm enough and humid enough for that to be uncomfortable and pg's only suitable shoes for the evening weren't so for the walk.

2. the event was under-organized. intolerably long queues for everything, scarcity of choice, and everywhere out-of-control groups of little children abandoned by their parents. it wasn't much fun; it would've been better to find a coffee shop somewhere and play there.

once the screening was over the place turned into a street party, which was actually not bad, and i was taken by surprise running into a mexican guy i used to be friendly with over eight years ago; he's been living in calgary, i hope he might be able to hook me up with some connections over there...

pg and i walked home, stopping (exhausted) at streets for pretty good food (and notably excellent service) - we talked about literature, and after being with my fiancée almost two years i now finally *get* what she's into. fantasy, and my kind, but i realize now what it is that doesn't work for her. i finally know what to suggest :)

today is (hopefully) my last day at work. i'm torn between hopping to it and sleeping a little more.
