The Dogs Are Right — Begging Does Work!
We had a pretty good day, yesterday. Gaming has been temporarily suspended due to Adamczykon having had back surgery, and having to be “out sick†for awhile. He was running our Mage game. We all thought he’d be back by now, but he hasn’t been in touch, and he hasn’t shown up. (Typical for Adamczykon. Don’t get in touch! It isn’t like we’ve known him for years and years, and might be worried or anything.)
So, instead, Felonious Murphi came over, and we all went to check out the new Asian restaurant in town. The food was very good, and the prices were excellent. It’s a sit-down place, but styled to be quick service, too. The fellow who owns it owns about half a dozen different kinds of Asian places around town, and this new place has a mix of his other menus, some Chinese, some Japanese, some Korean. I had pretty standard fare, as did Art, and Murphi had the hibachi teriyake chicken and steak. So did MrJames, I think. It was good food, and a good time.
After that, we headed down to check out the new ColdStone Creamery that’s just opened. Or, we thought it had just opened. We arrived, to discover that it doesn’t open until Saturday.
â€Do you think if we just stand around outside and look sad, they’ll bring us some ice cream?†I joked as we stood outside the shop, staring longingly into the windows as employees bustled about cleaning and arranging and being trained for the grand opening.
And lo, the owner spotted us out there, and let us in, and gave us free samples! Holy shit, it worked! Points for me! We tried their cookies n’ cream mix, which was divine, and Murphi tried some Very Berry thing, which he said was also excellent.
We shot the shit at home for awhile after that, and then Murphi had to take off. It was a fun evening. We watched some Family Guy (Art borrowed seasons 1 and 2 on DVD from an employee), and some Adult Swim (Venture Brothers!), and then I went to bed to read for a bit.
While reading, I overheard Rhea (hard not to overhear, as she doesn’t seem to get the idea of being quiet after people go to bed) telling Art that she’d found a new victim – er, I mean, that some other guy she knows online wants her to move to Arizona with him. She’s actually considering it. I have got my fingers crossed, let me tell you.
