The Ravings of Demented Rabbits

Revenge of the Snow Day

So, in talking about snow the other day, I said:

I'll be even more displeased if it prevents me from going out tomorrow, too.

As it happens, snow did not, in fact, prevent me from going up to Corvallis and to Mel/Rema's New Year's bash, where much fun was had by all, including:

- Carting the souls of the damned through Hell in Hell Rail, including such statements as "I burn some astrologers and some schismatics!"

- Armada 3, which involved such things as getting our enormous pirate bands slaughtered by natives, me suicidally attacking Rema and losing, and a large three-way fight over the central island objective. Funness.

Not wanting to brave the roads to my snowed-in house at 3am, I spent the night on the couch, which in and of itself had some exciting times, such as having my head used as a climbing toy in the middle of the night by cats. Somehow that was amusing, too.

Having had so much fun the last night, nature decided that I would be better off stranded in Corvallis and forced to play more games, and so dumped about ten inches of snow on my house. So we played some D&D miniatures and some MW:DA, whereupon my Uller Star of Doom ran over a Republic Atlas and a Republic Jupiter before being stepped on by Rema's entire side.

And then we went back and played some Roborally. Let me tell you, that game is fun. You drive little robots around with randomly determined cards, trying to move around conveyer belts and pits and such. There is much zotting people with lasers. And fun times are had by all.

And that night's sleeping adventure involved waking up to find the dog staring me in the face from 3 millimeters away. I think I was a cat toy, too, but slept through it.

At any rate, nature decided at that point that two days trapped in the same clothes are enough, and cleared the roads so I could go home. And I did. And here I am.

So, yknow, Happy New Year, boys, girls, and Whir.
