The Big Move, Computer Issues, The Gaming Addiction

[tcpip]

caseopaya and I managed to complete the big move on Saturday. The initial truck (at 11am) was too big to fit in the street so some other removalists turned up six hours later - and proceeded to take another six hours (two trips) to move all our things. It was a bit of a disaster really, and painful on the wallet. beagl and kimeros are expected this eve as the first overnight guests.

Other harsh things on the wallet (apart from doing my tax - a modest amount owed, which I expected) included the halogen backlight on my HP laptop giving up the ghost. Combined with the move this has meant no Internet for a few days *twitch*, *twitch*. Seriously, I'm coping just fine (my various inboxes only had about 300 emails when checked this morning).

Gaming events over the weekend included an opening session of In Nomine on Friday night and a game of Civilization on Sunday. The latter really is a great game, and I'm thinking of hosting a dinner party along the theme. Bread, dips and table wine I think.

Appropriately from horngirl. Addicted to World of Warcraft: "there's a hardcore psychological detox. We don't have to keep them under 24-hour medical supervision. We do have to keep a guard on the door to make sure they don't run away and go find an internet cafe."

At least the good thing about moving is that it's a finite process. Sorry to hear it was such an ordeal for you!

Hope the In Nomine game goes well. Always wanted to play that one...

Moving is something I wish to do very little of! Unless it with a backpack and little else!

In Nomine looks like it'll be fun. I like the d666/d111 resolution system. Very cute.
