My sister was married over the weekend in the little old chapel on the KU campus next to the anthropology museum. The winter weather was not fun to work against, but in the end Friday through Sunday were excellent and any hardships suffered will only make the event more memorable. My sister with her new husband, Kris, are probably complaining of the Jamaican heat (where the temperature this week averages to the mid 80s), a problem I at least wish I had.
Monday I attempted to fix the upstairs toilet that has been running constantly since we moved in, but found too late that the broken part was not a part of the replacement kit Laura and I had purchased from Walmart. Another trip will need to be made in the next few days to find on overflow pipe, I believe it’s called, which split about where the flapper is. I’ve decided to try to fix the toilet before the front door frame, which, along with the outer glass door, lost its battle with the New Year’s Eve wind and tore some of the wood away. I had forgotten about it until now, and will need to check with my dad on repairs.
This coming weekend will be my last before school starts on Wednesday. It promises to be full of crazy adventure with the possibility of a Friday night concert even though I swore off them the last time I saw this band play. Hopefully my Magic tournament luck will be with me once again the Saturday as Steve and I battle the unwashed masses with annoying habits. While the people annoy me sometimes, there are a good enough number of cool people and the feeling that comes with competition is sure worth it. Plus, the free card is a huge dragon.
There is also to be a Wii Bowling tournament coming up soon that Liz decided on at the wedding. Laura and I have been practicing, and plan to take down all pretenders to the bowling trophy.
The new Condiment Man story is still coming along. It’s now halfway through its twelfth page and on its way to winding down, I think. It promises to be one of my favorite stories of recent times, and it feels good to once again be writing about the things going on with a skewed perspective, then allowing the condiment hero to take the story in different directions than I had anticipated. My goal is to have the story out by the time school starts next Wednesday. Laura has a dinner tomorrow, so the night will be dedicated to finishing the draft.
My cousin Kris married a Kim.
Strange that.
Red/White/Black, strange color combo, but 6 mana for a 6/6 flier, could easily come out in that legends deck of mine.
I would not do well in a Wii bowling tournament.
Tennis, Bomberman ‘93 maybe…
I now have WarioWare. One needs only one Wii-mote/nunchuck combo.
It gets passed around.
12 player mode now makes more sense.
I await your story eagerly.
The combo isn’t so bad on the dragon, three colors on nearly the same side. I think there will be many of these guys flying around this weekend.
How is your WarioWare?
I can’t wait for the story either.
WarioWare is pretty sweet.
The voice acting is wonderful.
Some of the games take a couple of times to understand.
It has a few arcade-ish games stuck in there, too, like Tower Tennis and Can Hunter.
It was a bit strange that you have to unlock multiplayer.
Still no word from Casey, he read the message on mySpace, but no reply.
This late in the game his attendence seems unlikely.
Are you just going to head over to my place after work?
