Super Sunday (Partial Weekend Update)
Sep. 11th, 2007 05:32 amI posted about yard saling on Saturday, which was pretty much the whole day, so here's Sunday!
The morning was pretty slow and uneventful. We did some stuff around the house and just kinda slept in and were lazy. We met up with Ray at the HUB in the afternoon, which was really cool. Ray and I haven't had a chance to hang out in quite some time! We played Legend of the Burning Sands, a CCG based on Arabian Nights and built on a modified version of the Legend of the Five Rings mechanics. As with most CCGs I had trouble getting my mind around the game mechanics but it played fairly well. I brought home a copy of the rules to read at some point to see if we missed something. My biggest problem with CCGs is that there's too much to keep trasck of what with every card changing the rules in some complicated manner. I'm only good with multitasking to a point and don't handle a constant flux of rules very well. After the game we grabbed some lunch and chatted for a while, which was awesome. Ray left to spend time with the family and I waited for![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
painted_wolf to finish her meeting for work.
After PW finished we went to meet up withciliandis. Her mom cooked us a delicious meal of chicken cacciatore, salad and garlic bread. We got to meet Pablo Stitch, their new dog (though he may not be sticking around sadly) who is cute and extremely energetic (OMGYAYIMAPUPPY!!!1!). We went bowling for a couple of strings at Funspot where PW and ciliandis proceeded to trash-talk eah other in character (very amusing to watch!) and we had a blast. After that we returned to ciliandis' place to watch Bubba Ho-tep.
We had a great time on Sunday! Hopefully it helps ease the grueling week ahead. I have meetings galore this week (four today alone!) and all kinds of appointments and work and stuff. Today is going to be a 12.5 hour day with about 200 miles of driving! Seriously. Four meetings in two towns about 100 miles apart. Gotta love it.

Concert Meme
Sep. 11th, 2007 03:35 pmI'm taking a quick break at work to do this. I need a moment for myself, it's been a long day and long from over!
I kinda swiped this fromnepenthe01, but since she's been to shows I haven't seen (though many of the bands I would love to see in concert) and since she's never seen the bands I've seen, I just started over.
here is how it works. copy this list. leave in the bands you've seen perform live. delete the ones you haven't and add new ones that you have seen until you reach 25. an asterisk means the previous person had it on their list. two asterisks means the last two people who did this before you had that band on their list
1. Gary Lewis & The Playboys
2. The Grass Roots
3. The Buckinghams
4. The Turtles
5. Van Halen
6. Stryper (yeah, I'll admit it)
7. Bon Jovi
8. Extreme
9. Damn Yankees
10. Poison
11. Firehouse
12. Hurricane
13. Danzig
14. Suicidal Tendencies
15. Metallica
16. Jim's Big Ego
17. Jethro Tull
18. Yes
19. Kansas
20. NeverSayNever
21. Margot Day
22. The Brass Monkeys
23. Black Eyed Susan
24. David Bowie
25. Nine Inch Nails
Feel free to delete the colorful commentary if you swipe this, though most of you will likely be deleting the three bands with comments anyhow. ;)
