So Thursday the 10th the Baroness and I got up wicked early and drove out to Providence to catch a flight down to Texas. Unfortunately time and money was short so we had a whirlwind itinerary; first fly to Huston, then drive to West Columbia in a rented car to visit with BVH's aunt and uncle, then out to San Antonio to see Diomedes of Maine/NYC/San Antonio and Captain Teeth (I may finally have a good nickname there) and then out to Austin to go to Z's wedding. Things went moderately according to plan.

So on my way back from NYC a couple of weekends ago, I noticed the back of my right thigh was a little tender. I thought it was no big deal, but by Tuesday it was getting pretty rough. BVH though it was a cyst, I thought it was the Flesh Eating Bacteria, the upshot was that nothing was done. By Wednesday night it was about the size of a quarter, a lump, that was hot to the touch. So I still waited until after the doctor's office was closed to call, and so they set me up to go in on Thursday. I go in on Thursday, and that lump is now surrounded by about 3 inches of inflamed tissue, we're talking purplish red here. So I get put on an antibiotic, get sent home, and have a follow up the next day.

I've given up my dream of a real, in-depth catch-up full of complete reviews. So I'm just going to bang 'em out old-skool style:

I watched The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane again on Sunday night with the Ant Queen and Dr. Kimenstein. Not sure how much they dug it, but it certainly was fun watching it again for me. I actually forgot where a lot of things happened, so there were still surprises.

I went to CT over the weekend and played in the second game of a WH40K campaign. We're still on the "spread out across the map, gain territory and forces, try to buy off the tribes in the area to aid you" phase of things. I am slightly better off than I was last time, but I'm still probably in the worst position of the group. I'm going to try to continue to be cautious, however, and to gain as much territory and position as possible before I make my move.

I also went to Long Island, and we settled some more wedding stuff. Getting closer to being finished-in fact last night I got my suit and shoes for the wedding-a nice khaki linen suit, with a greenish shirt with stripes and tie that matches the Baroness's dress. I think I'll end up looking quite fly, if maybe not quite Cadillac fly.

Jan. 23rd, 2006 @ 09:23 am The big news of the last week
Current Mood: happy

The big news of the last week is that the Baroness and I are tying the knot this fall. I proposed while we were in New Hampshire. Just a little disclaimer-the trip's original purpose was not to be a romantic getaway in which I smarmly warmed the good lady up and then proposed in some disgustingly romantic fashion. The Baroness and I previously discussed the idea (when your siblings are getting married you tend to end up in discussions about how you'd do it) and I knew that niether of us favored any sort of large or public proposal. We evil masterminds just don't have a heart for such a thing. In any case she said yes, and I'm very happy that we're going to be doing this. I have been very lucky to find her.

So Saturday afternoon a good friend of mine got married and I was invited, which sort of surprised me (sketchily in touch exes not generally being the top invites to weddings) but, in retrospect, we were friends through much of high school and college, and we were even roommates for a year. Her husband is a really nice guy and I was happy to see them get hitched, even if it did rain, sadly.

After the wedding I went over to my uncle's for his 55th birthday and it was fun-we don't usually get together with my dad's side of the family, but, it was very nice. I hope to go shooting with one or both of my uncles soon. We were also given gun locks for (I guess they're all mine now) the rifles and shotgun, which is important now that Instant Nephew (TM) is around now.

After the party I watched the part of Anaconda that I had previously slept through. Hoo boy. What a bunch of junk. If you get the chance and want to watch a laughably bad monster movie, I recommend Anaconda-between the effects and Jon Voight's "acting" you'll have quite a few laughs.

Last night I had some odd dreams-the part I remember best was that Stalwart Dan(!) was running a role-playing game, some sort of White Wolf superhero thing. I wasn't going to play but then decided to, and I was playing this guy in a Ramones outfit, essentially, but with a fedora. He carried an SMG and two pistols but also had vaguely defined "lightening" powers. Even my subconcious knew this was just an uncreative mashing together of my first two Champions characters, Voltage and Wolf (one carried guns, the other was an Elctro rip-off). Easily the oddest element was the fact that *Dan* was running a roleplaying game.

Well, I had a very good, very long, very busy weekend. A high school friend got married on Friday and I got to see pretty much everyone from that crowd that day. Then on Saturday I went with my sister to a friend's Jack and Jill party (much fun was had dancing) and yesterday I went out for apple picking followed by baking and general hanging out.
