3/4 of the department took the Monday before a federal holiday off to have a 4-day weekend? Whoda thunk it? I could have been a part of that 3/4 but I chose to go in. I figured it’d be a good opportunity to catch up on some things. Sadly I didn’t get nearly as much done as I’d hoped. It was quiiiiiiiiiiiiiiet though.

I introduced two new players to the wonderful world of Quarriors on Saturday. Gaming on the weekend, you know what that means: I had a GOOD weekend! It’d been a while since I broke out Quarriors. The last time was to try out the new starter set (which I don’t like as much as the original). In the first game, I stalled out at two points from victory and lost. In the second game, I stalled out at two points period (and lost). Still, good times!

On Sunday I went to the flea market with Fab. He was on the hunt for vinyl records, a new passion of his. I went along for the ride. He found some good deals and even I walked away with a few Disney LPs. Most vendors (read 99 out of a 100) don’t take the time to organize their records in any way. You just have to root through the boxes upon boxes to find those rare gems amongst the piles and piles of the same ol’ crud. If you’re thorough though, you don’t have to go back very often since most of them won’t be replenishing their stock or at least not any time soon. It was an enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours.

Record hunting meant no Skylanders this weekend. I might be able to squeeze in a few hours tomorrow though if I get some comic scripts written quickly enough. No Wave 2 stuff at my local Wal-Mart. I just picked up the plain versions of two Trap Masters (I originally bought the variants) and the Gill Grunt and Gill Runt Wal-Mart exclusive. Still need a Life and a Magic Trap Master to be able to access all locations in the game.

So that’s the skinny for this week. Have a good one y’all!
