Can I Speak With You For A Moment In Private?

Tuesday, May 23rd, 2006

I think that would be a good name for a song.

This weekend past I went into Chilliwack for a good three days. I got a CD of six new songs by The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets. All I have to do is put lyrics to them. It’s just a demo, but it will help us suss out the rough bits before we record them for reals. Don’t tell Warren, but I let Stewie listen to them, and he gives his stamp of approval (with comments).

I also played D&D with the old group. And when I mean the old group I mean the OLD group (but not the oldest group - that would be Ken, Garett & co). Chris, Bob & Warren and I played for over ten hours on Saturday in celebration of Chris’ birthday. I played a female halfling rogue who poisoned herself and was out of action for 6 hours because of it. Haha…ahem. Well at least I didn’t get killed like Bob’s character! Next time I’m going to make my legendary monk/wizard who specialized in touch attacks.

This weekend X3 opens and I’m going to see it at 11am at Tinseltown if anyone cares to join us (Taytay, Stewie & the gang). We’re going to play “spot the Toren.” I hope I win.

Also this weekend - Con Fu Gaming Extravaganza. Promises to be a low-key but extremely fun convention at ye olde Marpole Curling Club. Dig out your d4’s.

Thanks for all the migraine advice, y’all. No recurrence as of yet.
