kingandy | WEEKEND UPDATE: EVERYTHING WAS FINE.

Almost everything went to plan, with the exception of not making it to

icklejo's party. We stayed at my friend's house in Coventry until about 1pm which meant I didn't get back to Manchester until 5, by which point the party had eaten, drinken and been merry and then dispersen.

I will expand a little on Friday night ... in the end it was just me and

stsquad in the pub. But this was alright, because I have not had a really good talk with him for a fair old while. We got quite drunk and spoke of many things ... mostly his various attempts at acquiring sex lately. Then we checked my bus times and discovered the bus I had been relying on for a ride home (171/172) at some point stopped running after 6pm, without telling me. This struck me as stupid and most inconsiderate. So we walked back to my place - which was quite the distance, and I would probably not have done so sober. Part of the way there was a bus but it still seemed a heck of a long way. Then we watched Sinbad until the wee hours because

stsquad had not seen it and it's pretty damn cool. And then he went home.

bacony returned from the Maelstrom videoshoot this evening at 11pm. She was thoroughly exhausted from a weekend of constant toil and little sleep. I was expecting an afternoon of strolling back and forth in front of video cameras, a full-motion version of last week's photoshoot; instead she brought tales of professional-standard actors and film crew (Matt P apparently knows lots of people in The Biz and they were all up for a weekend larking about, or something), scripted parts, fantastic sets and ... I'm not sure how much I'm allowed to say so I'll leave it at that, enough to whet the appetite but vague enough not to spoil anything, I hope. It's definitely something to look forward to. Really wish I could have been there... oh well, priorities and all that.

Have wrapped all my Manchester presents and plan to dole them out at D&D tomorrow (mm, later today technically). Now that I have a bag filled with shiny parcels it suddenly feels like Christmas.

Oh, yeah ... anyone who was at this month's SoS, tell me your amusing newsletter-suitable tales from the weekend and I will pick one to make into a Random Encounter. Oh, and somebody who knows, let me know where to send it...

Well you did ask ;-) On the subject of walks they are good for you and I thought you where getting used to them anyway. Its not like your going to be be running 10km anytime soon?

It wasn't a complaint, just a review of the evening. :)

And no, I will not be running 10k, not ever.

I thought the funniest thing that happened this weekend was that Sam fell right back into his usual niche of dying straight away and injuring himself whilst monstering... However the following could be considered amusing

The friday night party had a war beast chase them so they could trap in in a ritual circle. The got to the ritual circle then realised they had no idea how to keep it there whilst they sealed the circle. So they ran around the ritual circle manically whilst the war beast chased them around in circles. You could almost hear the benny hill music.

Lothar Meddarch died and upon hearing the news I wandered off to go and do something pychopathic... After murdering an enite village and wandering back into Tavern covered in red face paint from head to foot to simulate blood I nearly lost it as some bright spark (Chad I think as Fion sparked up with "Aye, well it looks like Robin's taking it well")

Baron Fred got his arms and legs pulled of by Piotr Aretis and was safely dragged out of combat into the glorious sunshine where we left him to promptly catch fire...

Thrak (with observation II) attacking a blood thirsty bush and insist to the hilt that it was a scout.

Oh and other stuff... but I'm tired now.
