Fried Kugel is tasty - although it does make me think I've made latkes the long way round.

Weekend was mostly hanging about; on Saturday while our womenfolk were having a girly movie night, umbran, laurion, and I embarked on a heady evening of manliness which I cannot describe here. Fun stuff.

On Monday I went out early to help B move some furniture, fiddled about with his banjo, then drove hither and yon collecting J and P so we could fight all afternoon. Had just enough time to get home and shower before heading out to rigel's birthday dinner at Cuchi Cuchi with lots of fun people. shavallan and arachne8x graciously worked with my non-bready restrictions* in selecting tapas-style dishes for our corner to share, all of which were excellent, if overpriced. (Though our table was fairly large, it was still a bit startling to flip over a bill for half a grand.) Then I made the possibly unwise, but more fun, decision to continue back to rigel's where a few of us gamed and chatted until after three.

And oddly, I've been sleepy the past two days.

Yesterday was not especially notable (I watched Ocean's Twelve from Netflix - a couple of good bits but really it just tried way too hard). Tonight I went back to B's for more fighting, which was still fun, but... my rate of improvement is disappointing, and with Crown Tournament coming up in two and a half weeks I should be much better prepared than I am. I do not seem to naturally be a thug. Oh well.

Ok, time to catch up on a little more of that elusive sleep.

*It hasn't been that hard this year, but I am still impatient for tomorrow night

You've only been fighting for two years -- and not so actively.

And thank goodness, because otherwise you'd spend all your time smelling like rotting helmet lining, visiting god forsaken parts of the kingdom for fighter practices, and going to events only to fight and drink cheap beer all day and then sleep rolled up in a plastic tarp. You're much better just the way you are :)

Aw, thanks :-)

I wanted to never be one of those fighters - it just annoyingly turns out that they're harder to beat. As with so many things, having broader interests means having shallower skill within each.
