So apparently I have gone missing from the blog in the last week. After the release of Stupid Hobbitsess last week I kind of took a breather. It was nice to step away from the PC and just relax! I did play a little on the 360, but hey, can you really ask me to completely unplug? So here is a run down of the last week.
Sarah and I got out last weekend on the holiday to hit up the Ren Faire down in Spotsylvania. It was just a day trip but we still dressed up for it. I wish I had gotten more pictures of course, but it was fun none the less. It’s a very small faire with lots of little booths with vendor stuff. It was nice to just get out and get some fresh air. I did get to show a few arrorws which in turn gave me a nasty bruise on the inside of my upper left arm, yay bow string! Towards the later part of the day the heat started to take its toll and we packed up to head back. On the way back we stopped off at Ikea and picked up some new house wares. I loves me some Ikea, I think we paid about 60 cents and filled the truck! (just kidding)
Most of the week was spent in Misery because of allergies. I finally broke down and went on the Claritin kick. While it is a total god send in how I can breathe and function again, it sucked getting used to it. The first few days I was pretty loopy.
My shoulder is killing me now because I went a little overboard on playing pool. It has been a long standing tradition to go and play pool for lunch every Tuesday. I have been doing this for about 2 years now (maybe even more). Well, last week on Friday it was a slow day so we decided to go again. Then on Saturday, Paul calls me up and asks to go shoot pool. Then Sunday Andrew and I have started a tradition of going to play pool and eat brunch. So in one week’s time I was playing pool 4 out of the 7 days! Towards the end there it showed too. I was worn down.
This last weekend was very lackadaisical. I had nothing planned and stuck to that plan! Sarah wasn’t feeling well so I did my best to take care of her. We even managed to do a Video Teleconference with my parents while they were visiting Gina in California. Does that count as her meeting my parents? Sunday I did nothing but play some games and do laundry. I needed to work on Salie in Lord of the Rings online to get him up to speed so that filming can continue.
Interesting note and something that maybe you guys can explain. Why is it that teenagers feel the need to argue even if they know, and have been proven, they are wrong? Seriously! There was a shot in pool where the 9 ball was sitting near the side pocket. It was very close to the corner bumper of the pocket and from the angle I was shooting at, it would have caused it to hit the bumper and roll out, instead of going in. So I shot for something else. Andrew asked why I didn’t go for the 9. I explained why I didn’t and he didn’t understand, instead saying that it would have gone in. After explaining again, he still didn’t get it. So after the game was done I re-set the ball in the exact location and lined up the cue. He then spent the next 10 minutes trying to sink the 9 to no avail. Even now it claims that “it should have gone in” even though he proved to himself that it wouldn’t. WHY???????
He is the W.O.P.R. from Wargames. He has to play tic-tac-toe (followed by Global Thermonuclear War) about a thousand times before he learns that . . oh yeah . . . that won’t work!
