Got up early (for me anyway - 10:00) to set out the rolls to rise. Renfield was awake and rooting thru his bedding for spilled munchies. He definitely looks more alert and sleeker - he is grooming himself better, though I still need to bathe his butt every few days. I even think he has put on some weight - YAY! The most important part is that he is more comfortable.
Gamingetc at J&J's in the afternoon. We took on a longer-form game than usual - something Arkham/Cthulhoid that John B brought. Play was fairly simple but there seems to be a rule for everything with a lot of special circumstances. Add that to the usual first-time "okay, what can I do now" thing, and we were getting nowhere fast - 3 hours of play and we only had 2 of a needed 5 gates closed. At that point dinner intervened and we decided to quit where we were. I think it could be interesting, but we'd need at least 4 hours to devote to it to be sure.

jfc013 and ashtalet made turkey, corn, and some kind of exploding fried noodles (thus satisfying the Hannukah 'fried in oil' thing, as well as the 'well, we needed to vacuum anyway" thing). post_toastie and blkhawk brought a veggie tray. They also brought miridearie, who gurgled and cooed and generally spit up all over, and also provided hours of entertainment for pensnuggles (who brought - what else - cheese!). And daryljfontaine brought several kinds of far-too-addictive cookies.
Oh - and now you can Buy a Fungus from Yuggoth for your child
Then we watched 3 eps of The Muppet Show. The 70s fashions and scary feathered hair frightened me. The Avery Schreiber episode prompted a brief age division within the room - there were those who actually knew his comedy stuff and those of us who only knew him as a game-show regular. Him and Charles Neslon Riley (whoever he was).
I received a lovely gift fromjfc013 - Happy Bunny Evil Checkers! It looks much like regular checkers, but when you take a piece you follow the directions on the back. It may be a snarky saying ("run along and die now") or it could be instructions (replace one of your opponent's pieces, etc). Looks like a slighly interesting spin on it. Plus, it's Happy Bunny - my hero!
Not much in the books for this week. Mostly re-working the sleeping hours, general errand-running and getting set for the new jobby. I need to take a day and lock myself in the CineArts in Evanston to crank thru a couple of movies I've not gotten round to yet. If the weather doesn't suck I might do a visit to the aquarium and maybe Chinatown. But mostly I'll be taking full advantage of my free time now that it is finite.
