Sunday night and I have a washer and dryer baby!

Sweet is all I can say. A co-workers daughter was getting rid of a 12 year old set and I was able to pick it up for a good price and could not be happier! I will hook it up in the new house at the end of the month.

 

On the gaming front we had our last game of WHFRP till after the move, all went well although the party has not caught on that the Orcs they are chasing are not there anymore and that the Gobbo’s have taken up residence in the ruins under the temple. They did manage to bag 10 gobbos including the leader. I will post more later in the week when I am not so tired!

Ah well back to the grind. Just felt I had to post that.

House buying 101!

Ok so we submitted a list of things that have to be fixed to bring the house up to code. We have to the end of this week to hear back from the seller, and that leaves us with less than 2 weeks to move! No stress no fuss nah! we can do it....ARGH!!!!!

Ok, I feel better now that I got that off my chest. Needless to say money is oh so tight, and of course this is the week that a few cool new books come out at the game store. So I will be at the new arrivials rack looking at all the cool things that I can't buy! again ARGH! Oh well I will be in a house this time next month so I can suck it up and besides with all the games my bro Brian has bought me over the years I think I can do with out.

On the gaming front, I will be running some sponsered events at LepreCon and Phoenix ConGames later in the year. LepreCon's site is http://www.leprecon.org/lep31/lep_31_001.htm
and Phoenix ConGames site is at: http://www.conevents.com/page/ce/main.asp
I am there running demoes for Eden Studios and Green Rionin. If you are in the area feel free to drop in and say hi.

Ah well off to the grind.

Sleepy!

Wow Thursday morning and I have had 2 cups o’ Joe and still sleepy! Good news is there is only 3 episodes of HBO’s Deadwood left! Then I can start getting some sleep! If you have not seen this show yet I recommend you check it out as it is a great show! A western revolving around a territory called Deadwood where Gold was found a town sprang up! There is allot involved in the show so if you like good characters and a deep story line and of course western themes then this is a chow for you! Check it out!

 

On the home front the inspection was yesterday and all went well a few things were found and the owner will have to fix due to safety reasons. Now the next step is to get the termite inspection done and a list of the items on the inspection that we feel “must” be fixed and have him counter offer. He has 5 days from today to reply. I am confident that he will fix all that needs to be fixed and we can start packing to move!

On the game front, my 4th edition GURP’s book fell apart, but the fine folks at SJGames sent me a new copy and even recommended that I take the bad copy to Kinko’s and have it spiral bound as to have a 2nd copy. Now that is customer service. Of course I have the luxury of having a full service print shop at my work and they are working on it right now. They were even able to save the hard cover and back so I will have a spiral bound copy with hard covers! I love the copy shop.

I will of course post more on the house as I get more info so wish us luck and have a great day.

Hearing from a good friend!

So there I was watching Deadwood (a HBO Western very good check it out!) season one with my buddy Darren when the phone rings. Wow my best bud Brian on the line from CA. giving me a ring. We chatted for a bit and caught up on the happenings of the guys and sounds as if all is going good. It reminded me that I need to take time out of the hectic things in my life to call and catch up with my friends out in CA. So tonight I plan on calling all and saying hello to the “Mooks”!

On the gaming front I got my copy of the Psionics Handbook 2nd Ed. today from eBay. A little mangled but for half the retail price I can’t complain to hard. I am kind of a prude when it comes to books! I mean I get all upset when people white on top of one of my books or when someone has a big nasty dripping burger and decides to drop burger juice on MY book! I mean it burns me especially when they act like”opps sorry man” and go back to flipping thru the book like nothing happened! Oh I get steamed! I mean it is not like they spent there hard earned cash on the book right! I guess I just like to keep my stuff neat and new looking, don't you?

Well I am getting ready for the home inspection this Wednesday, that will be fun…NOT! talk about stress man I am pulling my hair out! At least I have allot of hair!!! Anyhoo I have to get back to the grind as my lunch is just about over. So till later have a great day.
