Just a few things…

Tomorrow is is a big rock show in Chilliwack. I hear we might pull out Ogdru Jahad even. Twenty-two songs on the set list.

Zuul and Kodos are getting along just fine. They sleep on the same bed – mine!

I’ve been reading a lot of comics lately. In anticipation of running Mutants and Masterminds. And also drawing for it.

Right now Stewie and Taylor and Darcy and Arinn are doing Track Zero in the other room. They’re watching Alien Nation.

My 2-month no junk food diet is going well. Anti-fasting will be observed around Hallowe’en. Anyway I’ve been eating a lot of Chunky Soup because it’s like cat food for humans. Mmmmm. Turkey is the healthiest but last time I went to Safeway they only had one left. I leave the broth to Kodos. Also mandarin oranges are back and I am taking advantage of that! And enjoying the kitty face-scrunch on Kodos whenever I pop one. I’m not getting any exercise though.

This week I’ve had three game nights. D&D was on Tuesday and that was a lot of fun. I got to use my new character Sunshine who wields a double-bladed sword and drow poison. Wednesday was Call of Cthulhu at Geoff’s house and Thursday was board game night at Sheri & Stephane’s. They made some coconut chicken curry and it was deeeeeeelicious. We played Apples to Apples and Poleconomy.

Next week I’m having dinner at Karen’s on Wednesday. It’s been a long time.
