New Year
Right, another New Year's Day has come and gone relatively well for me. Yesterday I slept through the day (as I'd not slept the night before) and as such I woke up at around 10 pm. Resolving to (finally) do some actual law work I started preparing the materials for my tort case note and started work between 10 pm and 11 pm yesterday, finishing at 9 am this morning. Yeah, it took a while. This is probably because I spent large chunks of it playing Guild Wars Nightfall and making sure I got the new Christmas hats. Thanks to a handy 15 minute gap between the celebrations in Lion's Arch and Kamadan (Guild Wars Factions and Nightfall cities respectively) I was able to grab all four hats in just the two sittings. Unfortunately I'd completely missed the Halloween event, but oh well. Not witch hat for me, meh. When I bought Nightfall I actually assumed that since it was after Christmas I'd miss the celebrations. Go figure they ended midnight on New Years Day in some region of America, don't know exactly which timezone. It was pretty handy. At any rate I did get the tort case note done, though as it was only 1,000 words I had to do a ridiculous amount of editing and I was still 42 words over. Bah, working with just 1,000 words is harsh. 1,500 is much easier to handle as it generally needs less pruning.
At 9.50 am my girlfriend arrived which was great, and it wasn't long before she was having a look at Guild Wars (most notably I was showing her the different dances for the professions) and playing Rayman on the Wii. She seemed to despair that she was poor at the minigames without knowing that she wasn't really at the beginning so some of the games weren't supposed to be incredibly easy to pull off first time. Several frustrated dancing attempts later and I directed her to the first ones which she did very well in. It's all about practice really. That ate up most of our day, but eventually we both went to Games Workshop. We had a nice meal together at the noddle place after our game of Mordheim. I used my undead heroes and buffed up a load of human ones for her to use. Her men were generally better than mine, with the exception of my vampire. He won the game for me as he tirelessly ate half her warband on his own. Nifty. I also had a game of Warhammer 40,000 against the Dark Angel player I've beaten 13 times in a row. Make that 14 now. I went first and the poor bugger got annihilated. He lasted till turn 6 however, mostly as stuff was deep striking in, but as stuff appeared it got slaughtered. Poor guy, he needs to seriously rethink how to play his army and how to specialise with it.
Once I got home I had the first episode of Afro Samurai to watch. If you don't know about it, look it up. Suffice to say the episode was pretty damn cool. I'm most definitely going to be following the series. As that wraps everything up, till next time.
