A good day

I highly enjoyed my Kiltie Band rehearsal today, and wearing around my Kyoto Utano Youth Hostel shirt, and shopping in Squirrel Hill. However, since a lot of my shopping and the rest of my evening had to do with procuring birthday presents for mrpeck, whose birthday is today, (Happy Birthday!) I'll talk about it more later because if I say where I went it'd be totally obvious what I got.

Vices

Unfortunately, I can't go into Phantom of the Attic (local gaming store a block from where I work) without spending at least $40-$50.

Fortunately, I only go there every few weeks.

Unfortunately, I saw at least $100 worth of things I want to buy.

Fortunately, I think Ralph has or will soon have most of those things.

Unfortunately, they had a copy of Zombies! in the display case.

Fortunately, it reminded me that buying lots of silly games can be a bad idea, and I just got books, a new dice bag, and some more dice. (So much for my idea to use the Power Puff Girls purse as a dice bag... I couldn't resist getting a real dice bag.)

Fortunately, we saw the D&D Clue game and the Simpsons Clue game, and thought "Damn, these are dumb." I also fortunately decided not to buy the new Forgotten Realms sourcebook. $40?!!?! Are they insane? I bought the 2nd edition Dark Elf handbook instead - I think I want to run a Dark Elf game sometime (or better, convince someone else to).

Unfortunately, I'm back at work.

Carl is fun to shop with. We sit there and make fun of all of the games in the store and then lament that we don't own copies of most of it. Oh, and we ran into Lori, which was also a Fortunately, I think.
