Friday saw HP4. Have not read the book, thought the film was pretty good. People who have read book the complained that it was chopped up and unintelligible. Not surprising with a 700-page book in 160 minutes, though I didn't think it was unintelligible, though perhaps bits not sufficiently motivated. Also, the 17-year-olds playing 14-year-olds does not really work. They mostly come off as 17-year-olds here, so if you ignore them constantly saying they're 14 it sort of works.

Also went to 3 Scorpios birthday, which was fun but wound down much earlier than I expected.

Saturday played in The Fisher Expedition, a BYOG larp from natbudin, tpau, V, and J. It wasn't bad, for a game written in 24 hours, and at least I got to have some good byplay with baron_saturday.

Sunday went and worked on armor, bringing it to more reasonable condition except for the shield, which I still need to pick up some hardware for.

Likewise, but it's par for the course with a Friday party. Also, a handful of the guests (including your peppy self) had been at The Babydolls show the night beforehand and were a little underslept. I think my days of parties until dawn are largely behind me; most of my friends are pretty responsible and/or tired.

Meh, I'll be responsible when I'm dead. Or something.

It's really a matter of priorities. For me, spending time with my friends will beat out sleep for a rather long time. I certainly didn't get enough sleep Thursday night, but particularly knowing that I could sleep in on Saturday meant that I didn't care.

Y'all are just too old for this stuff.

1) Piss off, child. I was still awake for an hour or so after y'all left.

2) A lot of the folks came a long way to see me -- which I really appreciate. If the trade-off is that they leave early, I'll deak with it.

3) I can easily out party, out drink, out womanize, out revel, out club, and generally out socialize you. So, while some folks may not be the party animals you wish you were, be careful about lumping me in there... boy.

Four days in Vegas, we'll see who sleeps first.

You're going to be so sorry. It's only out of respect for your dear wife that I won't drink you under the table.



More than once.

I don't like burning sleep for no reason, so there better be a hell of a party that Sunday.

I quite enjoyed HP. I liked it better then the book, which I thought was unfocused and overlong. The chopping down to one coherent plotline improved it for me.

Likewise on the Fisher Expedition. I wish we had done a little more byplay, but there were women to molest, and duty called. :-)

On the party front (not that I was there, but you know) I find as I age (gracefully) that I can still party as long and as hard as I used to, I just pay for it a little more over the next couple days. And while, I may not have new_man's strong Russian constitution, I'll still put myself up against anyone and see who wins. :-)
