I've now had a complete day to rest up ... and I still feel exhausted. I think I'm going to need a couple of nights of nothing but rest before I start to feel normal again. Maybe all that staying up until 2:00 a.m. is what did this to me. Maybe it's thrown my sleeping patterns off.

So the last day of Origins, Sunday, was mostly a write-off. We were getting packed, checking out of the hotel, making sure travel plans were worked out (they weren't, but it all worked out in the end) and taking one last spin around the vendors hall to spend money.

Despite the fact that I spent more money than I should have, I'm still glad I took that last spin around the vendors hall. The cheap RPG place had reduced everything to $5 apiece just to get rid of it all, so I picked up a couple of books that looked neat, including Terra Primate and Godlike.

I also got sucked into buying a subscription to Against The Odds. The Clash of Arms guys were just too nice and helpful. I wasn't planning on subscribing at Origins, although I have been pondering a sub for awhile, but the guy I talked to was just so cool that he sold me on a one-year subscription. I walked away with a copy of the newest issue, as well as die-cut counters for their new postcard game (a brilliant idea).
