Playing catch-up, yet again
Jul. 31st, 2004 12:03 amYe gods, I really need to stop neglecting the LJ thingy. Ah, well, full speed ahead:
1) Game Night (aka Das Spielnächt) went quite well indeed. We reached quorum headcount, seven all told, and actually played a game, which is not exactly a given where Das Spielnächt is concerned. We torqued up on deep-fried miscellany and Wednesday-type booze, and
rafaela risked her own bodily integrity by giving everyone a guided tour of the album of my childhood photos that my mom was kind enough to blackmail me with. A spendid time.
2) In re #1: Hallelujah, saints be praised, the apartment is clean. Dishes were washed, leaf-piles of miscellaneous papers were slogged through, the coffee table was unearthed, the CD racks were stabilized (with the use of three eyehooks bolted into the wall) and the CDs scooped off of the living room floor, the random hairs were shaved off the vanity, the dust was blown off the vacuum cleaner... *whew* Well worth it. I almost feel civilized again.
3) Unrelated to #1, strangely: I am so addicted to Fluxx that I may never leave my newly-cleaned living room again.
4) Got a CD from
grrwoo that rocked the proverbial Casbah. Yay! Between that and the ones
rubian77 and
rhiacat sent, as well as many cards and letters and packages and such (including a recent thank-you note; thank you, hon! *hugs*), I'm reminded of why I do LJ in the first place.
5) On Monday, I get to introduce
rafaela to Oneonta. Wish me luck!
6) Utterly shameless, unmitigated, arrogant self-promotion: Pick up the latest copy of Games World of Puzzles, please. Thank you. Carry on.
7) Oh, and while I've been neglecting my posts, I've also sadly been neglecting my friends' list; if there's anything important and/or noteworthy that I've missed, please point me in its general direction. I'm sorry, and thank you.
8) Have I gone all godawful schmoopy enough to let you know how much I love you guys lately?
