Thursday night I visited Cerra with Risk in hand and spent several hours in heated battle for Middle Earth (we were using my roommate Nathan’s copy of Lord of the Rings Risk). We finished two games (which we split in victories) before dark. I quite enjoy playing board games, especially in good company.
Friday morning I went with Cerra to the train station again. I had intended to leave behind a book for Book Crossing . com at the station for some lucky passenger of the rail way, but despite a reminder from Cerra (and also in proxy from A Bitter Cherry) I forgot to leave the book. I must make an effort to leave the book again.
Friday afternoon Nathan’s friend Andrew visited, so we spent the evening gaming. We ended this in the late hours of the night with a game of Risk. It was one of the closest games I’ve played in some time, and was again quite enjoyable.
Slow motion’s prevailing in my solitary life. There’s been far too little progress in it for my liking. It’s a phase of stagnation of the sort that always deeply troubles me. When there’s no evolution there’s barely survival.
I sent off a large batch of books this past week, and it feels good to have the additional space. I find it cathartic to clean out the physical things I have accumulated since my childhood. I find that rather than passing away memories, it helps to strengthen them by sending off the physical reminders sometimes. One dresser drawer and half a cubic meter box remain filled with books that should leave soon.
I have a large collection of comics (mostly of the superhero variety) that I haven’t been able to find new homes for yet. There isn’t much of a market for most of them right now, and I’d rather not just recycle them. If anyone knows of a way I could pass them along to someone who’d appreciate them, please let me know.
Two Fridays ago, while hanging out with Cerra and a couple of her friends at a bar, I noticed that the music being played was in alphabetical order, playing Big Sugar, Big Wreck, Bob Seger and, by the time we left, on to Collective Soul (a band that was long my absolute favourite). This observation prompted me to schedule an alphabetical listening to all the music I have. I have quite a large collection of music, so it will take a long time to get through every last song, but thus far I’ve listened to all the songs I have from 3 Doors Down to Counting Crows. If nothing else, this will give me a chance to notice some underlistened gems (of which I have a countless number, surely).

I did listen to Aerosmith, but Tori’s down with Tas 3000, Tegan and Sara, Terami, The Doors, The Smashing Pumpkins, The Tea Party, The Thorns, The Trews, Tom Cochrane, Tool and the other T’s. I might make it to her by the middle of next month. 😉
I love sharing books, especially if they’ve touched me in some way. Sharing stories, whether my own or others is something that has profound meaning to me.
We’ll count the hair as a similarity. 🙂 Yours looks mighty nice, even if it is unnatural.
I’ve missed you very much!
I listened to Honkin’ On Bobo in its entirety. The songs are all in order by band name.
Well, similarity has room for diversity. Violet is a nice shade as well.
I’ll try to be on Monday myself then.
My fingers and too-long toes will be crossed for you too.
I’m having some nice vanilla coffee right now. I’ll be up all night at this rate, but it’s so, so nice.
*hugs*
You know, I haven’t used crayons in ages. My inner child must be repressed (nah, he gets his share of action in other areas).
I’ll look forward to talking tomorrow.
It’s Nescafe Rich Flavours French Vanilla. Do you have that there? This was made here in Canada, so I don’t know if its offered there as well. The taste is just the right balance between vanilla and coffee, though less bitter than might be expected. With milk or whitener and sugar or a sweetener it’s smooth and smells really good.
I find it to be an enjoyable coffee, and it’d be worth searching for. It’s instant, so that may not be to your taste.
I’ve never had my own brewing quipment, and I don’t care for most chain coffee, so I’m partial to instant.
I’m actually chilling some chilled Lemon Ginseng Green Tea at the moment. I’m generally not a tea person, but this is nice.
I’ve never had mint tea. I may have to check it out sometime.
Risk was very fun. We should do it again sometime. Also, sorry I forgot to remind you about the book once we’d made it there.
Risk was indeed very fun. I’m definitely up for having another game sometime.
It’s okay that you didn’t remind me.
