First things first, I hate colds. Especially when they specifically time themselves so I bear the brunt of it not just over a weekend, but over the weekend containing Dragonmeet. I would not have been able to actually play any games or have long in depth chats... but I decided to go along anyway. I went late in the day, but I managed to get a decent bundle of stuff. I acquired A/State and Esoterrorists, as well as ordering @ctiv8 from Grim's Portmortem studios - I'd been intirgued by it for a while (being a fan of Global Frequency and all that). He didn't have copies there due to a printing cockup, but as I ordered it he gave me a DVD with a pdf version on it for free... I've not had a chance to look at it yet, though.

So that was Dragonmeet.

Other than that, my plagueridden weekend has largely been spent doing two things: Rebuilding my website again and watching Avatar: The Last Airbender.

I'm rebuilding my website because I decided that whilst my last redesign was technically very clever and incredibly well put together, it was kind of dull. So I'm retooling it to look a lot more bold and snappy. No, there's nothing for you to see yet. Expect something in a week or two.

Avatar: The Last Airbender is, for want of a better description, "america does anime". It actually does it rather well... nicely put together, well rounded characters. Good dialogue (although at times marred by my knowledge of 1980s homophobic playground slang... "He is a powerful bender!"), good story, lots of research put into the setting and the combat (each school of elemental combat is based on a real martial art).

Now there's today. I have plague still, but it's subsided enough that I think I'm good to go for a visit to the dentist... which is handy, as I have an appointment booked. I was expecting to have to cancel it, but when I spoke to the receptionist she said that if I felt up to it then it was fine. So I'll be leaving work at lunchtime and heading off to get a hole plugged up. The rest of the afternoon will most likely contain drool. Oh well.
