Saturday morning/afternoon

[winterbadger]

Well, I had an OK day so far. I drove down to Woodbridge and played two battles in a new (to me, not newly published) ASL module, Scotland the Brave. Sadly, I did the 23rd Hussars and the Cameronians no favours and lost both scenarios (though the online database for the hobby suggests this is par for the course). I don't generally expect to win at ASL, but still, it's kind of depressing to lose two in a row in four hours. I picked up two new games (one on the French Revolution and one a compendium of games about ancient Rome), though not the one I was looking for. >:-< But I did finally exchange my new kettle for another of the same model which, I hope, will not leak.

I'm trying to decide if I want to go all the way into DC to see United play. This may seem revolutionary for anyone who knows me, but Nora is doing stuff with her mom, Chris and Mel are off who knows where, Jason is busy, and Justin may not make it either. I've kind of gone off the SE tailgates (especially since I feel slightly guilty for having stopped running them, but not guilty enough to go back and help out), so I'd be going off by myself for four hours (an hour there and back, at least, and about two hours of actual match) to see a game, and I'm just having trouble finding that an attractive idea right now. My house is nice right now, with cool wet green outside, complaining cats (dinner is needed, I am told), and a couch I could sit on and watch telly. No beer, but I shouldn't be drinking beer anyway right now. Grrr. Indecision.

Screw it; I'm staying home. I can make some vaguely healthy dinner, instead of paying $437 for a burger and chips; I can avoid the temptation of The Brew, and I can still see the game. Plus at 10 o'clok I can make some tea and go to bed, instead of having to drive all the way across DC, Arlington, and Falls Church. :-)

It just doesn't feel like it would be any fun to go by myself. At least not tonight.
