Columbus' Day already?

This holiday always takes me off guard; I never expect it. Having it off for work just makes it even weirder, since I understand many folks don't. Anyway, it looks like kittenpants and I are celebrating it by defiling native gravesites and preaching to the heathen masses... in other words, playing Diablo II, possibly as a paladin/necro combo. Anybody who happens to be home and available interested in such silliness, let us know via IM or other suitable venue. Sorry we missed you for lunch, featherynscale... hope your Thai was tasty!

Went to the Rennaisance Elizabethan Fantasy Faire Experience Shopping Mall this weekend; saw a bunch of Gaians and locals, except of course for the lady wench who got us our comp tickets; thanks chaosdruid! Resisted the urge to buy anything more exciting than dragon's tears (for Zendo, natch), and the bizarre hematite magnets that everyone was tossing around. Faire just doesn't light me up the way it used to; the fact that we probably got more interactions from street performers, because we knew them/were in garb, makes me despair for what the normal off-the-street patron might have felt, but maybe they didn't have any basis of comparison. Being a race day, there sure were a metric ton of 'em.
