Ere the sun rises

I got up at 5 this morning. Couldn't sleep. I dreamt that the doors of my flat had been broken wide open, and everybody could traipse in and out.

A while later, I dreamt that I was at a convention, in which both Stephen Furst and Peter Jurasik were guests of honour.

And now, I'm awake and up ahead of my alarm clocks. Just in time to hear the dawn chorus and to see the sun rise.

I feel alone.

OOTS Then, Now And ...?

Right at the start with Strip 1, where everybody got converted to 3.5:-

What will the game be like if Elan acquires, as someone speculated, the role of party Controller in the new game?

Not to mention Vaarsuvius' delight at acquiring new Wizard abilities ...

Praise No Day Until Sunset ...

... though I think I can venture that today was, all things considered, okay so far for me.

Sam dropped by after school. Mum briefed him about the split yesterday. He seemed okay about it. A little sad, but who wouldn't be?

We spent the afternoon shooting the shit, then settled down for a Yu-Gi-Oh! duel at last. Sam was merciless. But then, so was I.

Not saying who won, but we both took heavy Life Point losses, especially after I played two "Dark Snake Syndrome" cards, and "Dark Room of Nightmare": 400 Life Points this round, doubling each subsequent turn, plus he suffered another 300 Life Points each turn on top of that.

Crazy crazy combo. >:)

How I could have drawn nothing but Spell cards the whole duel long, though, was bloody beyond me. So glad he never played "Mask of Restrict", because the only way I could have summoned monsters onto the field was through Tributes and Special Summons.

So yes, all things considered, it was a good day. I think it was being able to shoot the breeze with my nephew, and the chat I had in town earlier with Wendy, that did the trick.
