Dec. 13th, 2010 06:44 pmMy plan was to simply tidy up my flat this weekend. I managed to put a few things away, and do some vacuuming. The place is tider than it was so that's a success. I got distracted though. I have a costume plan and I had to buy raw materials. This involved raiding the 99p shop. I'm building myself a new rocket pack.
There's nothing wrong with the old one. It's just all a bit steampunk with brass pipes going all over the place. Now, that's cool and all but my plans are much more 1930's serial. Now, I have two rocket boosters. Unfortunately I have no idea how I'm going to attach them to straps and attach them to my back. Still, work in progress. Am happy I found some rocket nozzles accidentally when I used up a can of spray paint.
Gaming was fun. Hadn't seen![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ingaborg or aperrott for ages. Now I have and drank their tea and ate pizza.
Played Carcassonne. I won. I did the devious tactic of subtle aggressiveness (collaborate with those who aren't going to win so you can share cities, arrange things so you get extra guys in the fields.
I seem to keep being accused of being a furry. I'm not convinced I am but given a fondness for cat ears and a fixation on leopard print, people don't seem to believe me. The fact that I play WitW doesn't help much. Did manage to explain the attraction of a Wind In The Willows based LARP to ingaborg by adding the important key point. It's post-apocalyptic Wind In the Willows.
Am also pleased to have assistedlemming_man in DIY. My assistance was generally of the form of chatting and keeping him company as he did bits of work that required one person but he seemed happy with this so I consider this a success.
