Happy Halloween!

Got a LOT of housecleaning done and had Faye over for the first time. Good times.

Also it was beautiful outside so it was nice to walk Gert.

Saw the new Simon Pegg flick Saturday with Faye.

I liked it, not as funny as Shaun of the Dead, or Hot Fuzz, but still good.

A few of the dramatic elements were overplayed. (Montages ran a little long, as did gripping slomo scenes)

Before the movie we had the worst dinner ever.

Everything was awful, to the point that it was actually enjoyably funny like a B-Movie.

Here is a picture of the toilet water. The one on the right was off color and very off-taste. (Faye immediately horfed it back into the cup) Not sure if it will show up on film well but it was obvious.

Also in the restroom I saw some graffiti I liked. Taking pictures of graffiti is kind of a hobby of mine, though I’m not sure I’ve posted much of it online. I’ll start now.

I find it interesting what messages people want to share badly enough to break the law.

Had a great time at Remedy with Faye.

Got to meet some more of her friends.

Fun at Brendan’s in Chicago.

In honor of Gary Gygax we played 1st edition “Tomb of Horrors” Module. Sooo out of date, but strangely still playable.

Oh and I made a kid cry, that sucked.

Also he completed his Tiger Mural, which I air-humped because it is awesome.

A pretty positive experience, I had a lot of fun (which is why I do it). Got to beat a guy, got to do a sweet flying armbar. And I did things how they ought to be done, so I wouldn’t feel like apologizing to anyone afterwards (unlike one of the guys I fought).

No medals this year.

Oh, and the best part was after really busting my hump to make cruiser-weight, I weighed in at 195.5 (clothes on) which is a new personal best, down from 223. (This new years resolution is working out pretty well)

Also good was that my chiropractor fixed me up very well so that my recent neck thing was a total non-factor.

The only thing I would have changed is the MAJOR overcrowding problem. I’m no stranger to conventions but this was ridiculous. And going to the bathroom was like visiting a stadium full of Katrina survivors.

I would have maybe liked checking out some more of the convention too, I kind of rushed out to get home in time to watch UFC with my boys.

(and I suppose I could have done without the bruised ribs, heh)

I’ll post video later, got to rehydrate now from cutting weight.

This is what happens when you don’t provide enough room for people and their shit. It’s a pile of shit and people.

Donated plasma for the first time today.

It’s not bad.

I think I’m going to keep doing it since it’s 240 bucks in my pocket every month.
