hedgiewanI tried to go out on Friday and not be a shut-in. I really did. But I took one step away from the back door and promptly fell, barely catching myself from going face-first down the steps to the alley. On the plus side, my bruises make it look like I'm in roller derby. Of course, I've also proven to myself that trying out for anything that even slightly emulates Friday's city of ice is a poor decision.
Seriously, folks, freezing rain is one of the top three reasons I abandoned the East Coast.
But the ensuing thaw (WTF?!) made Saturday and Sunday more sociable. Laundry at Mom&Dad's and Naomi and Jesse's game night on Saturday, including a game of We Didn't Playtest This, Either (fun), and Guesstures (charades in a box. again, wtf?). I finished the first season of Star Trek: TNG, which had that episode with the brainstem-inhabiting alien bug species that scared me almost as much as the Wrath of Khan earwig when I was a kid. Now it just looks awesomely gory in a Dead Alive or The Fly kind of way. The earwig is still scary, though.
Speaking of The Fly, I saw Moon on Thursday (which also made use of some well-placed gore). That was excellent. Lots of little touches. Vax's criticism that it was pretty predictable is legitimate if you've seen a lot of science fiction, but I still found it worthwhile. I mean, Miller's Crossing is hardly startling if you've seen a lot of noir, but it's still an excellent movie.
Sunday, I did something horrible to my back (how? sleeping, natch), and then Adjuvant kicked my ass at Magic using decks she'd built. This means that any time she tries to tell you that I always win, she's lying.
Not that she wasn't lying anyway, but still...
the hedge abides.
