Yesterday...

Was interesting. I got home from work to find that the cable box was acting up. I called Comcast and tried what they told me to do (what the robot told me anyway) and went to bed. I didn't sleep well, but that wasn't unexpected- I'm certain the current source of my sleep issues is allergies, especially since I had a scratchy throat from drainage all day yesterday. I got up, and like I've been sort of expecting for a while now, the cable box was dead. In fact, it totally died while I talked to Comcast. The only real annoying part of this is that we lost all the stuff we had recorded on it, so I decided to just get the new box when I did the running for the day.

As I was planning on making dinner for the group while character creation went, I decided to pick up a new box whilst out. Me and zxizaraxii headed out about 3:30, planning to pick up foeclan was also ready, and using two vehicles we headed over to Cub. Groceries went quick, and I started cooking as soon as we got there. While I made the marinera-and-chicken sauce, phineas made garlic-cheese bread. Food was devoured and we went to character creation for the Anuris campaign.

At the moment I have five players, four of whom have mostly-completed characters. I'll edit this later to add names if people come up with 'em today.

zxizaraxii is playing a Sarind (lizard man) Barbarian/Rogue.

foeclan is a Dwarven Bear Shaman Druid. He DID have a name, but I can't recall it at the moment. :P

phineas is a Locin (wolfguys) Cleric of Ah-Hur.

feezlekahn is a Human Fighter.

It was a fun night, and people finally headed off to their homes or bed at about 12:30. I was planning to stay up as usual, but that's when the fatigue said 'fuck you!' and my brain failed at about 1:30 to 2:30 somewhere. I slept like a stone, and I woke about 10:30. The start of the campaign looks to be about 2 weeks off, and my last player, joshuwain, will get together with me on Monday or next week sometime to get his character ready. All in all, a good day.

Food!

Tonight, foeclan and feezlekahn stopped over, looking to go out for food; no plan was in hand as of yet, other than the suggestion of pizza. We (me, them, zxizaraxii, khirsahdrgn and phineus) ended up going to Black Sheep Pizza (http://www.blacksheeppizza.com/). Wow. VERY good, and they have Surly's beer! The booth was a little cramped for six, but oh well. I definitely wanna go back, especially since its in the Warehouse District, where I need to do scouting for locations in one of the stories I'm writing. :)

Oh- I had a 12" cheese and sauce pizza with white mushrooms and fennel sausage.
