Sunday : 05 November 2006
Today has been a good – and rather relaxed – day. It started with me sleeping in; I consider that a good start to any weekend day. called me to see if I was watching the Bengals-Ravens game, I wasn’t… as I (still) haven’t had the satellite dish installed, I kind of lose track of what times their games are. And I hadn’t gotten around to tracking the game stats on NFL.com. Turns out that the Ravens had started opening their cans of Whoop Ass early on. And, let’s face it: A win (and a 6 – 2 start on the season) isn’t a bad way to start the day.

I followed this up with meeting Perry for coffee. We bandied about a few game-related ideas and, thanks to this conversation, I think that I have a way to implement a concept that I’ve been toying with into the Shadowrun game.

From there, I decided to head to Best Buy. Apparently, the only Best Buy in the valley that carried Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles – the Complete Campaigns. Bad movie (which I still enjoyed), but the series wasn’t quite as bad and I’ve been wanting this for a while, so I broke down and got it. And, I picked up a copy of Battlefied 2142. I headed to ‘ for a while and hung out with him and a few others before heading home.

Rather than stop at Restaurant du Jour, I cooked dinner. Spaghetti. I haven’t fixed it in a while. I realized, after I had started, that I don’t have any oregano here, so my sauce was a little lacking (but otherwise good). After dinner, I took some time to patrol Paragon City. I wound up on a team that took on a couple of arch-villains and some other annoyances.
