magic playing has been a little slow since I moved here but Brent, Pascal and Chris all made a trip to visit and play cards with me Saturday. It's nice to be loved enough that people want to take time out of their lives not only to hang out but to have to make a trip to do so. That's a lot of the word 'to'. I wrote that sentence and I had to read it twice. Anyway, the three of them showed up and we played a few games of 2HG and then went out for lunch.
We went to Subway where we were told "We are all out of bread". That was kind of wierd. So we got Pizza Hut instead.
I purchased a box of Alara from De which Brent brought with him. The picture above is the aftermath of that. Brent's birthday was just a couple of days before so I got him a couple of nerd chic t-shirts. I wasn't sure he'd like the actual comic book characters on them but I thought the nerdiness of them would be enough for him to enjoy.

Don't make Brent angry.

Braska & Me
Brought Braska to work today during my lunch hour. We went around to a lot of different offices to show her off. She was a big hit. When we were at the Prosecuting Attorney's office she got swarmed by adoring fans which promptly threw her into a screaming fit. We got her away from the lawyers and she seemed fine.

Biggest floppy ever
Found this at work. You may think you know what it is but you are wrong. Who said it's a 5 1/4 floppy disk? I'm sorry that's incorrect. It's an 8-in floppy disk. Maybe you have to be a nerd, but for some reason this thing cracked me up. It's huge.

Bought this massage chair less than two weeks ago. Sold it for $200 more than I paid for it. Skrill!

I have a small arsenal of idiosyncrasies. One of them is that I can't stand crunching. It makes me near homicidal. When someone is crunching around me I start having thoughts about stabbing a knife in thier throat or running over their head with my car, you know, anything to get them to stop crunching. I don't know why I'm like that but I am. I know it's not logical but I can't control it. It turns me into a German-engineered hate machine- zero to livid in under 4.5 seconds. Mom and Poe are eating chips behind the pillow so I don't have to kill them. Good kids, those two.

All my poker playing has come to fruition. Here I hold a check for 125 smackers!
