"You'll Have Time"

This weekend was a party. I will post more on the party itself once I get more pictures from the party sent my way.

So at this party, two of my good friends from Richmond showed up. My old roommate Kevin, and Russell. Between the three of us, we have more facial hair than any four of you. Also, our collective media collection will smother yours with its vastness. It is also fair to say, that we will actually make you pee your pants you will laugh so hard. That is to say, when we are all "on". This party was a little more hanging out for the three of us; rather than trying to entertain everyone. It was nice. I did a little time behind the bar, and walked around, but generally, I talked to my friends. I hadn't seen Russel in many months, and so we did a lot of catching up. It was good to talk to Russ. When I talk to most people up here about creative ideas, it mostly comes in the form of Role Playing games, mostly. When I talk to Russ, it could be a play, a comic, a series of novels, or a TV show.

Speaking of TV shows, I'm not sure ( OK, I am sure, but I want to hold out hope) but I'm fairly certain that none of you know anyone at CBS. This is too bad. Because if CBS wanted to throw money at people to do a show about vampires, Russel and I had a great idea that was not a direct rip off of Angel. I'm looking at you soon to be cancelled Moonlight! Plus it is set in Las Vegas, similarly to CBS's already cancelled Viva Laughlin. For the price of these two shows, Russ and I would have created a wicked sweet show. To bad CBS, I'm sure you'll throw good money after bad and let some other duo with things like "guild cards" and "a track record", and "already written scripts" take a chance instead of two barely employed nobodies from the East Coast with a great idea and half a pilot written.

I almost made Kevin cry with joy. This may have been due in some small part to the alcohol, but also because I gave him his birthday present. A wicked cool knife unlike any I had ever seen. Kevin named it one of the five greatest presents ever, which he had to scale back a bit after I reminded him that he had probably received sex as a present many times. So he then declared it in the five greatest non sexual gifts of all time and proceeded to hold it close to his bosom for the duration of the party

For those living in the Richmond area, I am afraid that I may have given him the impression that, like the blades in many video games, his will gain power when it sucks your soul. I am sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you. On the plus side, I did tell him that you had to take 5 souls in quick succession to activate the blade, so if you are traveling alone or in a small agile group, you should be fine. If you are part of a large slow moving band of travelers, well I've already apologized, nothing more I can really say.

What else happened this weekend? Well, I got to start my game, which went well. The players nearly died in what ended up revealing itself as a live fire exercise. I loved the reveal there. I made it through the entire weekend without a stomach pain attack. I had a real serious conversation with my girlfriend about religion, its place in our lives and on the lives of the children we have both talked about having one day. We were both raised Catholic and find ourselves lapsed, so you would think that we would have a lot of common ground, but we really don't. I swear if I didn't love this girl I don't even know if I could talk to her! We come from a different point of view on almost every subject, and yet we seem to be able to make things work. The Sox swept the series. Stupid Rockies! You were supposed to use a slingshot!

While I've been writing this, I received some pictures and promises of more, so tonight or tomorrow should be party picture time.
