a very nice weekend

It was a very nice weekend. We gamed on Friday night for the first time in AGES, and although there was a lot of sleepiness going around, we managed to get through at least part of an adventure (vampires! dynamite! wrecked ships! very exciting!) before we broke early ’cause Jack had to fly away for something or other. I honestly have no recollection at all of what we did Saturday during the day. I didn’t work at all. I walked the dog, and I … oh yeah. Now I remember.…

Sometimes I haven’t found one that looked right, so I’ve ended up taking the one or two that were closest and making the right thing out…

Smug.

I have a new hat. I am smug. I’ve had object lust for this hat since August, but I couldn’t quite justify buying it (I easily justified buying the fedora, as I’d been looking for a really great fedora for years, but I simply had not been looking for a really great dinky red hat for years). However, I got paid yesterday, and in a paycheck-inspired fit of frivilous spending, went forth and bought the hat. Now I need a red jacket that particular shade of red to wear it…
