As promised

So Calidax (I'm going to be using D&D character names for my friends instead of their real names when applicable) is in Illinois again this week. I remember him saying that he would be gone for only three weeks, but now I'm believing he said five. As it's been three weeks and he won't be back for another two. So there's no role-playing until he gets back because we're going to be getting back into Shadowrun.

So for the past three weeks we've been playing board games, which I am super-excited about as denoted here. The first week we played Arkham Horror, which is a very large game, but can feel simply overwhelming before coming to a anti-climactic end. For the past two weeks, we've been playing Puerto Rico, which is much lighter in size but still has plenty of strategy to keep everyone's attention.

My weekend went well and while I showered and such Saturday, I just let myself go entirely on Sunday. Didn't shower till today, and have imbibed nothing but Dr. Thunder since Friday. I watched movies and spent hours playing video games without a care in the world. I did miss my wife and daughter, but the weekend was a nice palette cleanser.

Still jobless. I'm having trouble securing even the menial of positions, so if anyone has an inside track on a position... any position... I'd like to hear from you.
