I really should get back to updating this blog on a more regular basis. I'm sure I can come up with something inane to say each and every day ... and probably even more often.
On Friday night, I kicked some serious ass at Tikal. Rich, Christine and Lita all came over to our place for some dinner (we ordered 'za) and games. Lita and Loki kept each busy for most of the evening, and then both the kid and the dog passed out shortly after we started playing Tikal.
Now I'm not the competitive type, but when a board game goes your way and you know you're going to come out on top, it feels damn good. At least with Tikal, if you're doing well, you can easily see it. I've had the "I'm gonna win" feeling with Puerto Rico several times, and not once have I one that damn game. Stupid, frickin' hidden victory points. *grumble, grumble*
Saturday was mostly spent getting ready for a Mother's Day dinner that evening. My parents and Jacquie's parents were coming over for a BBQ. I really hate prepping for those types of things. Jacquie and I tend to get on each other's nerves fairly quickly. I think we both came close to murdering the other on Saturday afternoon.
Sunday was a quiet day. I hit up Comic Book Addiction in Whitby, chatted with the owner (Steve) and ended up buying a few trades. CBA just started a new thing where if you buy nine trades, you'll get a tenth one free. Not at the same time, of course. Y'know, it's a stamped card kind of thing. :P
