So, yeah. Saturday.

It started out like any other day, with my pupils dilated so large daylight was painful.

Okay, that's really not any other day, now is it?

Early Saturday morning, Cynra & I had gone down to Chinatown West for our irregular eye exams (we hadn't been back in four years or so) and ot make preliminary orders for new specs (I'm hoping to get two pair, one regular & one solar resistant, although I may just get Nerd-Class clip ons).

Afterwards, we went to the mall thingy at Bay & Bloor, grabbed some lunch (and should have really just walked up the street and grabbed some pizza), watched The US vs John Lennon (Spoiler: he dies at the end!), which was a good documentary, although a bit too hippy porn for my tastes. Yes, the Nixon administration was bad, like someone else we could mention, wink wink. Yeah, Lennon wasn't exactly smart about who he was hanging out with, unless he WANTED to be associated with people who were attempting social change (but what are the odds).

It did give a lot of details about what he was up to during his post beatles years. The whole bagism thing was pretty neat, in an "I'm a rock star married to a crazy performance artist" way, and the head games they played with the media ("come see us making love on our honeymoon!") were cute, too.

Afterwards, it was off to 401 to take advantage of the board game sale (MMA & Betrayal at HotH were my picks) as well as pick up a couple games of Fluxx for Cynra and a booster of the BH expansion for SWMG.

I was contemplating getting a case, but I've decided to get a few boosters and wait until the Starship battle game comes out and maybe go hog wild on that. Or just get a couple Super Sized comic book compilations. Hmmm. Sandman or Morrison's New X-Men?

Dinner after that was the Browncoat dinner at the E&C to celebrate a year after Serenity. It was much fun, and I had dinosaurs making the sweet love on my head. Lunch at the Manulife centre had filled us up, so we just had some soup and drinks. The menu has apparently been adjusted, as portions seem smaller, and prices seem larger. The two just shouldn't go together like that.

Awesome time, in any case. Much fun for all the peeps, and I got to spend a great night with some fine ladies. No, seriously, there were thirty people and one other guy. What's the opposite of a sausage party, again?

So, if you're an Roleplayer, larper, enjoy board games slightly more complicated than Monopoly, beer n' pretzel card games, or even wargames, and you live within an easy drive/bus of the GTA, let me know.
