Feeling Good

[rowyn]

I went through my regular workout today. I haven't been wholly indolent so far this vacation -- John and I have done some walking around and I did some exercises last night -- but it feels good to have done my whole regular routine. Now I'm showered and clean and feeling nicely relaxed. If I manage to finish a Silver Scales entry today, I'll even consider myself productive. :)

Last night, after koogrr got home, we invited moonwolf, gwendelkitty and jordangreywolf over. The idea was to watch a video and/or play a game. I rather wanted to play more SPANC (Space Pirate Amazon Ninja Catgirl), a cute and simple game John got back in August. Except that SPANC only alows a maximum of four players. At first, Moonwolf volunteered to sit out, but Greywolf had spotted Tales of Tomorrow, one of John's graphic novels that I'd finished readng earlier in the day, sitting out. The lure of graphic novel was a strong temptation for him, so we figured the rest of us could play SPANC and he could read in contentment. So Jordan sat on the couch reading and laughing, occasionally laughing at the comic book and occasionally at the flavor commentary we invented for the narrative.

The first several times I played SPANC, it was a pretty quick game; I think the longest one went for an hour and a half, maybe two hours. This one went for nearly three. It would've been quicker if we hadn't had three rounds of ganging up on whoever was about to win and stopping them. :) In the end, we all had enough loot to win, but gwendelkitty had the most so she took the victory.

By then, Greywolf had finished reading and was drawing a picture of three of the Superior City NPCs, in a scene from the last session: Jing Li (my character), Nao, and Abigail, all wearing their new thematic kimonos and shopping. So cute! I was particularly pleased because I'd wanted a picture of the three in their new outfits. Heehee! And Moonwolf drew a cute SPANC-themed Sasta picture. <3

After that, everyone went home and we went to sleep.

Today, well, apart from exercising, I haven't done much. At about 5PM, Moonwolf is going to come over and take me to meet John at a dance studio, where the three of us will have a dance lesson. We think it's a ballroom dancing class but none of us actually know what kind. Should be fun!

I'm glad you're having a good visit! :-)

Woo! SPANC!

SPANC rules, utterly. And it gave Baba a new character for his collection of personalities: Rauol, the Poolboy.

Have fun with the dancing!

"Tales of Tomorrow" was interesting in parts, but Koogrr's warnings were on-spot in regards to what parts I might find less than entertaining. =P It seemed to really go downhill toward the end of the collection. (Maybe they were running out of steam? All I know is that everything seemed to get gorier, grosser, and more in the gutter ... oh yeah, and suddenly, not-funny. But then "The Cobweb" was just stupid-weird for the entire run, ugly, badly drawn and ... why in the world was it sharing space with the other comics? I wonder.) But all the same, there was enough good stuff that I was glad to read it. =)
