Sunday
I spent the morning and afternoon in Berkley playing the Star Wars miniature game at Games of Berkley. I played my usual combo of Vader and a bunch of Stormtroopers. I added Vader’s apprentice to the team for both games to mix things up. Most of my game pieces are still in Kansas City, but I’m having fun with the pieces I do have in San Francisco.
Came home to go shopping at the Farmer’s Market with Elli, then home for lunch and house cleaning. I got to clean out the closet that I had junked up while Elli did some sweeping and kitchen cleaning. The closet took longer than I planned, but I had really junked it up with school papers and such. I’m not the most organized guy in the world. It’s all better now, with everything in a place, and easy access to the iron and other things we use most often.
After that I headed to Borders to spend money on a few Billy Collins books for Elli. He’s a famous poet, and his stuff his good (even I like it, and I don’t like poetry). Picked up a vampire book for myself, because it is the season for such reads.
It’s October, and Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, but autumn in California (where there are no trees anywhere near my apartment) is kind of a let down. The weather is warm, no leaves to turn pretty colors, and no drizzly rain to set the mood on the dark streets. On the plus side, the weather is warm and there is no drizzy rain. Yet. The rain is on it’s way, I’ve been told.
I wonder if we should try dressing the cats up for Halloween and then they can trick-or-treat around the apartment? We tried to put a cat hat on Raven once. She wasn’t impressed. Tracer shook the hat off her head and tried to eat it. I guess I answered my own question.
Elli and I closed out the evening with some reading. I’m finishing up Cthulhu 2000, a collection of H.P. Lovecraft inspired stories, but none are actually written my Lovecraft. Elli is reading a book about a ghost who can be seen by someone for the first time in a hundred years.
