karohemdWas completely exhausted through the heat and lack of oxygen at the office, so I left a bit after one, drove home and collapsed on the bed.
Took a shower, picked up Andy and Christi and went off to Mouse's for Middenport.
After some reasonable pizza (thanks, Mouse!), chatting and some character shuffling, the game started. A quiet affair but had a very real feel to it, just as an Elysium is supposed to be. Looking forward to get really stuck into it.
Got home at a reasonable time but spent too long chatting on IRC.
Saturday
Got woken up by NTL calling TWICE, wanting to sell me broadband which I would quite happily take but can only do with my landlord's permission. Idiots.
Talked to mum on phone, went shopping and then headed off to Jason's.
What a HUGE family! I think I'd go mad, especially as very few of them seemed very likable. The kids were just exceedingly annoying.
Chilled in a corner, munching on food and drinking OJ.
Later in the afternoon people I actually knew arrived and things started to get better.
In the end, the evening was fun, Paul's bubble blowers were hilarious, the music was partly utterly shite (when put on by Jason's sister and her friend) and good, the bouncy castle was fun and the last hour was just hilariously surreal. First Penguin Ball and then the penguin replacement game (basically, take movie quotes or titles and replace the important or all nouns by "penguin") ;o)
Got home to a sweltering room despite open windows. I hate living on the first floor :o(
It's slowly getting better but there's no hope for sleep in a while yet so I'll go on IRC for a bit and then read.
