Doze nutzecles!
Aron, seeing that you are the main candidate for vice-presidency for the sloshing party, r u stepping up to the platform? I'm good to hang out one of these days. Jon: five - one - Oh - Seven - for - for - niner - dos - nine - three. That's my mommas house. My cell phone has been disconnected and I don't have your cell #.
As for the schedule this weekend, Saturdays bad, I'm flying down to Arizona to look at some housing properties. I heard it's pretty hot down there (real estate wise) and might buy a new track home.
I'll be back early sunday morning, so Sunday looks good for me, but I'll probably be dead tired. Nonetheless, it shouldn't take too much brain cells to drink and play games.
Oi!

Hey Johnny and Enron: How 'bout getting together for gaming this weekend? Either day is OK for me -- Jael how about you? Either day better? Oh, and give me a call. My phone died on me a couple of months ago and I don't have your number anymore.
Back at home after a pretty great week of overeating and gaming. Denis, Eric and I had a more successful run at Arkham Horror and also finally got to play Warmachine. Man what a great game. Thanks for helping me live the dream, Denis.
OK, back to Harry Potter.

E-to-dah-Hizzle:
You are correct, sir. I'm down for at least one night, maybe two. Just to clarify, when are things getting started, and when are they ending? We kicking it off on Friday night and going through Sunday afternoon, or.. ? Should I bring the SUV to the camp site to sleep in? Or, should I show up at your place a little early so I can help you guys set up (you want me to prepare some food before hand or cook at the camp-site, maybe?) ... do we want to go in a single car, or take both for more toting of items to the destination? Is parking space more of a premium/issue, or ability to bring stuff with? I'm down with whatever, and totally able/available to help out.. just let me know what works best for you guys and for the situation in general. I should be down in San Diego by about Wednesday night at the latest, and available by Friday-ish for Texas-chainsaw partiness and excessive re-playing of that Descendants track you crazy guys love so much.

Camping/Vacation Update:
Now looks like a strong possibility that the fam will be taking a trip down to San Diego next week during the week and that I'll be cleared for a side-trip up to the camp-fest with y'all, even. So, pencil me in! Weee!
(I'm not going to have any camping gear or whatnot.. will a sleeping bag suffice, you think, or am I going to be eaten alive by miscellaneous sand-bugs?)

Ah, a nice day of gaming. The 10d6 crowd came by and we played two games of Shadows Over Camelot (lost horribly the first time, won the second time -- used the traitor deck, but everybody drew Loyal). Played some Virtua Tennis, a bunch of Soul Caliber matches on my Dreamcast -- man, those games are so awesome. I looove Soul Caliber.
Finally, we busted out Eric's copy of Arkham Town Horror Fight. The downside of this game is that it's pretty complicated, and is long. BUT, it's also really fun with great atmosphere and the mechanics are very cool. Since we started late we all wore down quickly, but if you dedicated an afternoon to it, and knew that you were getting into a longish game, I think it would be really great.
Update: I've been thinking about it and I take it all back, the game is totally lacking some important shit, please read and sign my important petition:
------------------------------
DEAR FANTASY FLIGHT GAMES, LTD.
We are writing to express our serious displeasure with your new board-game, "Arkham Horror." While your game goes a long way towards capturing the mytho-terrorogical feel of HP Lovecraft's stories about "Call of Cthulhu," we are extremely disappointed to see that you have failed to include the following archetypal elements of the Lovecraft experience. We, the undersigned, will not rest until you have incorporated the following into the game, AT NO EXTRA COST TO YOUR CUSTOMERS.
1. There should be a location, "Prostie's." The encounters at this location should require the players to jam shotguns into the prostitutes' mouths. Also, there should be a mechanic so that players can trick other players into utilizing the services of this establishment, against their will.
2. There MUST be a new character added, "A. Smoxakahk." I do not remember what he does.
3. You must also add a character named "Dewey Lewis." He should have special rules to reflect his successful career as a trumpet musician. Also a hit location system MUST be added so that this character is always being shot or clubbed in the right leg.
4. You have failed to include Lovecraft's famous Vietmanese character, Van. This character should sell "magic shirts." (Which work.)
5. Although the game is long, it is not NEARLY long enough. The rulebook should be over 300 pages long with copious handouts. The game should take hundreds of hours to complete. Unless the party goes to visit at least 50 friends or contacts, all of whom turn out to be horribly murdered, IT IS NOT HP LOVECRAFT'S CRHULHU.
Thanks to you heartless sons of bitches for fucking up this game so badly for all of us. I hope you're fucking ashamed. Fix this shit or we, the Internet, are going to be so pissed.

I am not inclined to put on clothes today
I'm still at my parents' house with the place to myself. It's been a really great trip. I hadn't been out of SF in quite some time and I really needed a visit back to the motherland to recharge.
Not much going on really... um, I played ASL with Eric, that was fun. And one night I ate three Krispy Kreme doughtnuts. I had some good orange chicken from Trader Joe's... uhh, other than that I got nothing. What are you all up to?
