The post-Christophermas round-up
So Saturday turned out to be a fairly good, albeit easy-going, day. Around mid-day, Rich, Logan and I ventured out to Wyldstar to meet up with Stephen, who Rich and I met last Tuesday. We arrived about half an hour later than expected, but Stephen was still waiting for us when we finally got there. Unfortunately, not much was waiting for us, product-wise, at Wyldstar. It seems Dave, the guy who owns the place, had had some distribution problems and didn't get his weekly Wednesday shipment of comic books. So new titles for us. Oh well. Next week.
After that, Rich dropped me off at Logan's place. Logan fed me and we watched some anime. Specifically, we watched the first disc (four episodes) of Paranoia Agent. Definitely a bizarre anime. I'll be interested to see what happens next.
After we finished off lunch and anime, Logan dropped me off at home. Jacquie and I hung out for awhile, and then we met up with my parents, her parents and Sean at The Gryphon in Whitby. For my birthday dinner, I just wanted something simple, but it had to be a place I could get a half-decent beer.
Dinner and drinks ended, and then we headed back to Rick's and Pauline's place for some chit-chat, some more beer and a few rounds of Sequence. For those that don't know, Sequence is a board game that uses cards. The gist is you play a card, find the matching space (i.e. King of Hearts) on the board and place your marker. Get five in a row and you win the round (for six players, anyway -- for less, it's two rows).
The only unfortunate thing is all the food and drink in my belly didn't sit well. I woke up at one o'clock with -- I must be getting old -- heartburn. Heartburn! I couldn't believe it. I never have heartburn. Perhaps my poor ticker is not dealing with spicy foods as well as it used to.
And that was what I did on my twenty-ninth birthday.
