Well, having rearranged gaming from tomorrow to tonight so I can meet up with Glyn, Jamie and Cath for a final pre-Christmas drinky tomorrow, it turns out that Ade, Anna and Miriam all have stomach bugs and had to cancel. (To be honest, the junk Ade and Anna feed that child, it's a wonder Miriam's not constantly ill. Maybe I'm just overly puritanical, but feeding a baby crisps, chocolate, pizza, curry, basically whatever they happen to be eating themselves, can't be a great idea. Especially the crisps and sweets - while a child is young enough not to want to stuff itself full of sugar and chemicals, wouldn't it be a good idea *not* to encourage it to do so? But I digress). So no gaming tonight, and for the first time in forever, time, energy and inclination have coincided. Hence, update.
I shall avoid doing the OhMyGoWhereTheHellDidTheYearGoLastTimeILookedItWasSpring thing, cos that's just depressing. So what have I been doing since Whitby then? It feels like I haven't stopped, so there must be something to report...
My last minute decision to make the trek to the Voices Of Masada/Elusive gig turned out to out to be a most excellent idea. It was my third time seeing Voices of Masada and, I think, the best. The home audience made all the difference, and it was good to see the amount of people who turned out at 8pm (a disgracefully early hour to be doing anything, especially if, like me, it takes you the better part of 3 hours to look even remotely presentable). Sinbad and co were fab as ever, and they did Shine, which is guaranteed to make me happy.
Elusive were entertaining and very personable, although it was very hard to tell if they were actually any good given the amount of booze the the singer managed to plough his way through. I'll admit, I tend to assume that that level of alcohol consumption must be masking other problems, if only a terror of performing (surely noone can actually enjoy drinking so much they pass out on stage?), but, then, my last alcohol induced hangover was at least a decade ago and I can't remember the last time I was more than just tipsy, so what do I know? Either way, he seemed to be enjoying himself but it didn't exactly help his performance.
The rest of the evening didn't disappoint. Slimelight was full of friendly people, and it was fab to see![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sahrapatroness and sinbadsilk again. And, as ever, corone and lareinemisere were excellent hosts, even though I'm sure I always turn their flat into a bomb-site for the weekend :).
I actually managed to get to the cinema 4 times in the last 6 weeks (although 2 of them were for the Golden Compass), so ...
( The Dark is Rising, Beowulf, The Golden Compass. Some Spoilers )
Well, I'm sure there's been other stuff, but I've waffled for long enough. I'll be down South over Christmas so hopefully I'll catch up with some of you then.
Have fun :)
