Buckets of Dice weekend
Jun. 2nd, 2014 07:43 pmBuckets of dice went really well, one of if not the best ever, huge kudos to the team. My own weekend wasn't so hot though; although Saturday at BoD went very well (ran Pacific Rim and it went off almost perfectly, excellent players; then won both the the board games I played in the afternoon) thing started going downhill in the evening after I developed a stomach upset possibly from dancing too vigorously on a still-full stomach at the party I attended that evening.
Although I did also get some cuddle-time at the party which was nice.
I came home and went to bed relatively early only to be woken by a Hall alarm shortly before 1am. The ensuing activity upset mu stomach again and it was closer to four by the time I finally got back to sleep.
So I started Sunday short on sleep; fortunately my game didn't have enough players (I had been advised Saturday night) so I didn't have to stress about being at BoD early. Instead I managed to get there just after several long board games had started and didn't actually manage to get into any games until mid-afternoon, most of which I spent becoming incrementally more bored and frustrated. I thought about setting up my laptop and writing drafts fr some of my backlog of journal posts, but couldn't summon the spoons.
The game I eventually got into while not a bad game and one I would happily play again dragged on due to 3 of us never having played it before; and ended up being the only game I played all day. After dinner and prizegiving (where I didn't receive any prizes but was given a bottle of wine) I turned down the opportunity to play another game I was unfamiliar with and might or might not have enjoyed in favour of just coming home, lighting the fire and going to bed early.
Monday (today) began with discovering damage to the Hall which resulted in getting to BoD an hour later I had planned, to much the same initial result as Sunday. I did manage to play 3 games in the afternoon, although the last two weren't particularly exciting and the last one, usually fast, was crippled by one player who took forever considering his turns. I also spent more money than I really meant to on buying new games - games which I enjoy and are popular but will mostly sit at home for when I host games days.
Add to this more Hall drama which soaked up any remaining spoons I had from the day and the overall weekend was pretty crap.
