Weekend, mostly in Redmond
Saturday, we had Iron Heroes. Unfortunately just as I was heading out there, the 520 bridge decided it was closing for boats to go through. Doh. So after a huge reroute I was over an hour late. Oops. Session went okay, I just feel bad for being late (though Pete was later and Drew is out of town) and ending early. We need more plot movement and everyone's weekends are so full.
Saturday evening, we met up with![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
cheerfulchaotic for dinner. Mindy had come over, so Zach and I and her picked up Carl and headed to the Broadway Grill, where I had another installment of my "investigating the phenomenon of Chicken Fried Chicken" kick, with their chipotle buttermilk fried chicken. It was tasty enough but later on in the evening my stomach really hurt. After dinner, we all walked over to Twice Sold Tales, where Stevie bought a whole buncha books, Carl nearly did, and the other three of us wandered around the shop petting the cats.
I stayed up all night following the last game of the Asia Series / Konami Cup, as the Fighters beat the La New Bears, the champion team from Taiwan. It was actually a very scary close game, the final score being 1-0 and that run being unearned. Darvish struck out 10 though, and it was actually 9 in the first 4 innings, the first 5 batters he faced in a row, even.
The network flaked out several times between 2-4am though -- it completely went out at 3:30am and I gave up and went to sleep at 4am. It's been flaky the last few days, so I called Comcast and they said a tech would come out.
Today, a tech did come out, and he's like "wtf, your modem is fine, the signal is fine, the splitter is fine, the only thing I see that's not fine is this awful crunched cord coming through your window," so he replaced the cable coming in and we'll see if it makes any difference.
In the evening, we headed to Redmond again, where Jason had made a huge Thanksgiving dinner of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, sprouts, cornbread, I forget what else, capped off eventually with pumpkin cheesecake. We had a group of 8 in all, between Jason, his friend Kirby, Zach and Mindy, Jeff and Jonobie, and Pete from D&D, and myself. There were a ton of leftovers, which I guess is the other typical part of Thanksgiving dinner, but everything was very good. I'm not sure what I'll do for Thanksgiving day itself, actually, though I will be in Seattle (planning to not be here over Christmas, I think).

Rakuten would be exactly that, to be masochistic. I mean, the Fighters were losers when I first started following them too, though not nearly as bad. The only things Rakuten really has going for it are Fukumori, and eventually Masahiro Tanaka.
