gaming today

[dagibbs]

Went to ironphoenix's place to game today. donnav was the only other person to show up, though apparently beable had made noises (posts?) about showing up, too. We played Clans, Aladdin's Dragons (in which I screwed up the finish, so allowing ironphoenix to win on tie break), two games of Igel Argern (which is far too much roll&move for me), and then got into the rules for Goa and then Santa Fe Rails both vetoed by donnav as too much to learn at that point, so finished off with Puerto Rico.

I had indeed made "I think I can make it unless I'm a scatterbrain who forgot a previous commitment" noises.

Yesterday I spent much of the morning suffering from "I am never going back to eat at that restaurant again" and it did not inspire me to do much other than curl up with a book and nap yesterday afternoon.

I did warn ironphoenix that we should not hold up gaming waiting for your to show up.

I can understand not feeling like leaving home after a morning like that. Which restaurant is to be avoided?

[beable]

Yes, this is why the last couple of gamings (when I had to leave at a set time and sitting out the first game would have sucked) I have made the effort to be there close to the start time. I'm glad you guys didn't hold up gaming for me.

Moni Mahal - the Indian buffet next to Fandom. It's probably been a couple of years since I had eaten there and I remembered them being a little too greasy but I think they really have gotten much worse. Either that or my digestive system has become much more sensitive to such things. I think it's a combination of both, really, though a few people in our group were talking about feeling bloated and nauseated during the concert we went to afterwards, so I don't think it was just me.

Moni Mahal were never a favourite of mine, though I had previously found the food acceptable. Guess this is warning to maybe think about not heading back there.
