Weekend Update
After a slow week spent on very little (activity-wise), the past four days have been quite busy. The ball started rolling on Saturday, which was the date of another all day strategy board game marathon at my house. Turn-out was lower than the previous one, but that was alright, as it gave us perfect numbers to play "The Settlers of Catan" throughout the day. We played three games (or was it four?) before we disbanded for the day. Excellent times.
Sunday saw church, lunch at Europa, and then a LAN party over at the Creiglows. Ahh...all-night nerd fun. And for once, it actually did go all-night. The games started around 1800 and didn't close up until 0830. Even more miraculously, there were no major problems with the network, and no catastrophic breakdowns on any computers. The extra computer I brought did require a number of newer drivers to function (along with some utilities to remove the copious amounts of spyware/adware/malware my brother had managed to infect it with), but even that went pretty quickly. All in all, the evening was a (sometimes literally) roaring success.
I got back home around 10 AM Monday, did a few odd things, and then went up to my room to crash. As I was setting my alarm I entetained a few vague notions of only sleeping for an hour and then pursuing a somewhat productive fourth of July. My body had other ideas, however, as I managed to either sleep through the alarm on my cell phone until it turned off or somehow turn it off in my sleep without any awareness. Either way, the end result was that I spent 5 hours asleep, before I got up for the remainder of the day. I spent the evening on PHV for desert, games, fireworks, and good conversation. Yet another extremely enjoyable day.
Finally, last night I went up to Landstuhl to go see Batman Begins at the Broadway Kino. All in all I was impressed with the film, though the big superweapon was a little preposterous. But at least it was easy to ignore.
Alright, I'll have to write more later, because I'm about to go see Carmina Burana at the Heidelberg Castle tongiht. Til then.
