Harper Time

Categories: A Case of the Mondays

Last night John and Amelia Harper made the hour drive up I-77 to visit and have dinner. We were glad to see them and hang out for a bit. While we miss all our Charlottesville peeps, it's good to be so close to the Harpers. Although the next time we eat, we'll steer away from Mexican (even though nothing else is really open on Sunday in Rock Hill).

Other things this weekend . . .

Sarah and I went furniture shopping. We didn't buy anything, but did learn that good stuff is not cheap, but probably worth it. I also learned I hate Rooms to Go, but that's just me. I am cursed with wanting the $800 bookshelves at Ethan Allan.

The most frustrating thing this weekend was the (non) D&D Meetup. Somehow I found this site -- Meetup.com -- that lets people with similar interests find each other in their area. There's one for Charlotte D&D players. An in person meetup was scheduled for Saturday and four or five people had RSVPed. I RSVPed, went, and no one else showed. I was pretty angry and dissapointed for a couple of reasons, the least of which was I cut short all the stuff I wanted to do around the house Saturday and drove my ass all the way into Charlotte to go to this thing. I don't understand how five people all RSVPed and then crap came up for everyone at the last minute.

The second reason is I really, really want to get gaming. I am going through withdrawl or something. The past week or so I've felt like something was missing in my Rock Hill situation. Sarah suggested it might be a D&D group. She's probably right -- the lack of gaming friends and a regular group is a big hole, given that I've had a gaming group (even if we didn't game all the time) for the past five years or so. That may also explain the inordinate amount of time I've spent on ENWorld lately. I want my D&D, dammit!

The other dissappointing thing this weekend was the Red Sox getting swept by the White Sox. That sucked. They sucked. They get a bye year, I guess, for winning the Series before I really begin complaining. I just hope the Angels can put the Yankees away. Game 5 is tonight.

And speaking of baseball -- 18 Innings! Holy Crap! And, as much as I dislike Clemons, him coming in from the bullpen and pitching three innings as the Absolute Last Astros Pitcher and winning the game was pretty impressive.

Still haven't seen Serentiy yet.

But at least I haven't had Bojangles in a week.
