It was a good weekend.
Friday night we had an impromptu gathering with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pezwitch and williamofoccam for Chinese food, chocolate chip cookies, and a couple of rounds of Magic: The Gathering. careswen's Deck of Furry Squirrel Fury took the first round, then the boys beat the girls in a team competition. We love playing together, because none of us take the game too seriously, you see. We use whatever cards are at hand, from whatever editions, usually bought in a cheep bulk box from Shinder's, freely mixing and matching sets.
Saturday I made French Toast for breakfast. We spent the better part of the day hanging out at Kilted Koffee in downtown Minneapolis with some friends. The conversation was brilliant, the coffee good, and the place very nice. Saturday night we came home and I watched Oklahoma vs. Texas and Minnesota vs. Michigan, which I had recorded to DVR. Skipped all the commercials, analysis, and committee meetings. The game goes much faster that way.careswen disappeared into The Sims. She also made fire starters out of egg cartons, dryer lint, and old wax, and I read out of my Braille book.
Sunday we slept in like a couple of bums. Had French bread pizza for breakfast. Spent the day being lazy. I brought up the Halloween decorations from the basement, but got distracted when I ran across all the stuff from a Halloween LARP we ran a few years ago (Dead Man's Party, a.k.a. Vincent's Keger, for those who are curious) and never did decorate. Watched the Vikings, watched a program about Ghost Hunters, and studied Braille, not necessarily in that order. I made Alaskan Pollock with lemonpepper and basil, baked in butter and a dash of balsamic vinegar.careswen made a bonfire using her nifty new fire starters, and she talked on the telephone with her mother while I fed the pretty flames. More Sims, and a little revisions on some short stories. Reverend Selena was fuzzy. On the negative side, I've had a box elder a day in the house since Wednesday.
Discovered I actually have three novel ideas waiting around for me to finish Move Along Home, not just one.
Tried for a stress free weekend. Pretty much succeeded.
In Peace
Michael
