The end of the end

Time is fading fast. I will be moving out Thursday, Friday or Saturday night. Jennifer is moving out Saturday. She has a lot more to move than I do. Our court date is on the 9th of June.

Saw Iron Man 2 last weekend. I enjoyed it. I'm also reading a lot. Finished "Changes" by Jim Butcher. It had a rather shocking end but I liked it.

Things are difficult, but I'm dealing with them, but I don't want to put all the details here. There are other places for that. We're still parting as amicably as possible. That's what counts.

A lot can happen in two weeks

And this time I'll go backward in chrolological order instead of forward. So the most annoying thing going on right now is that I got a flat tire yesterday. That basically has disrupted my plans for the whole weekend but I've managed to make the best of it. Today I'm hanging out with Mom, Skip and Grandma celebrating mother's day with them. Yesterday I played a board game with Russel, Sean and a friend of theirs named Jim. It was a board game called Advanced Civilization and we played until 6am. Normally this would be a terrible idea but lately it was a welcome distraction.

Yesterday, I ran my "Shadowrun: Blood of the Earth" game, the final session at the current house and it went quite well. Managed to tie my home game into the account well. Before that I went hiking on Stone Mountain with Russel. It was quite fun. Talked to Ken before I went. He's been really busy but we'll be picking up Novel 4 some time in July probably.

Friday I talked to Jay and went to the Gym. He has finished Architects of Fear and submitted to Dragon Con. It's pretty kickass and I'm glad to be working with him and the rest on that project. Got my hair cut (Aekon studios. They do an EXCELLENT job). Picked up a tent, sleeping bag and the like at REI for another hike I'm doing with Russel later.

Thursday I got "Changes" from the library. Perfect way to start the day is to pick up a Dresden Files book. Mom, Skip, Grandma and I saw "Taming of the Shrew" at the Shakespear Tavern. It was absolutely kick ass.

Wednesday made a new character for a game we're starting next week being run by Andy Harmon. Got some writing done(following the suggestions I asked the family for based on a master story idea list.) Should prove quite fun. I watched "Papillon" at home with Jennifer. It seemed kind of lame until I found out it was based on a true story. It was about a guy who tried to escape a lot from French prisons in the early 20th century and got betrayed a lot.

Tuesday night I also went to the gym.

Monday I saw the counselor. He's helpful in terms of putting things into perspective but I'm not sure if I'll do it too long.

Saturday (previous) night I got drunk (OK mildly tipsy drinking 6 "Mike's Hard Lemonades) for the first time with Jay while we were discussing Sentinel Chronicles and its future. Hung out a bit with his Dad and learned things I hadn't learned about the civilian command infrastructure of the defense department. It was fun.

Friday night (previous) Jennifer and I went to see the Hot Tub Time Machine. Its pretty much what you saw in the trailers but it is pretty good. I'd give it a solid B but definitely worth seeing (though not a family film).

Wednesday night (previous) hunt out with Jay and we discussed much about Sentinel Chronicles.
