Projects: Regency Stays

So, I've gotten all the eyelets done. And I can sure tell the difference between the first few and the last few, heh. The last few look much, much better as I was getting the hang of it.

Weekend Update: anime, family, friends, and fun!

Lots of gaming this weekend, plus the beginning of the anime craziness. ^_^

The Thursday game is going great. I'm really enjoying the setting and arioch1970 is doing an excellent job of telling the story. Our Friday GURPS Fantasy/Conan is really coming along, too. We're finally getting our grasp of the GURPS rules again, so combat should flow more smoothly each time. I remember really liking GURPS from way back when, so it's nice to rediscover why I liked it so much.

Saturday was really busy in spite of the Saturday game at my brother's being canceled. Matt and I got up early-ish and took care of some banking stuff (which took forever), then I went to my sister's and picked up a bodice and visited with spar30 for a while. He's working on lorica segmentata, which Matt has wanted to make for quite some time, heh. So I envision some evenings spent over at Annie's place. Fun, fun! ^_^ Matt gets to play with metal, I get to play with cloth. And Lex. Of course. :D

Anyway, after hanging out there for a bit, I ran to Love Field and picked our friend Shaun up. Shaun stays at our place every year for the past oh, I dunno. Six years now? He comes over every year during A-Kon and we watch anime all week. Heh. I first met him in the early days of playing Dark Age of Camelot (an MMORPG), and we've been friends ever since. So I'm taking half-days this week and watching anime with my friends. Fun! Anyway, we started the anime fest with Full Metal Alchemist and watched like the first five disks on Saturday, and the next several on Sunday afternoon.

Sunday we braved the rain and went to Scarborough. I had a ton of fun with the hubby, my sister, the Lex, and Shaun in spite of the rain. We were wet, muddy, and tired by the time we got home, but I think fun was had by all. It was awesome to hear Lex sing the Dark Side March, heh.

And Monday had me back at work, but only half days all week. Whee!
