Today I watched a magic tournament while looking for cards. For those that dont know magic is Magic the Gathering a card game with many strategies and cards.
I didn't enter the tournament but knew two of the players. Afterwards I tried table tennis doubles... And chaos was created. That one will take some practice.
then on to SBL's movie night where we watched some cool and some odd stuff. (www.starbaseleicester.co.uk)
but my rant for the day is about sizes! Why is it we can not have universal sizes? I ordered a shirt from Redbubble for a friend even buying one larger than be usually wears. When it arrives its tiny! Even worse they want me to send it back at my own expense when the last time something similar happened they just sent the replacement. Grrr why isn't the world straight forward.
today has been... Exhausting.

Day 3
hi again.
disappointingly I only made it to day three before I did nothing new worth remembering. Had a meeting, checked a charity shop (great things can be found in these) and that was about it...
New realisation: Have finally admitted I am a bit of a casual gamer. You wont catch me playing the likes of candy crush . Its negative connotations are too much. But the very occasional bejeweled type games are good on the bus. But the new word discovered is dailies. I play dragonvale, a park simulator type game. Similar to the old theme park game (much missed) but with dragons. Each day there is stuff you do... Dailies.
a good way to wind down but I just realised I may be a form of easy gratification. Getting something done or an achievement is bound to make you feel better. Right?
anyway off to feed some dragons. Today was...ok. But dull on the new things front.

DAY 2 New word and .... stuff
day two and a day of work. For those that don't know I'm a library assistant in all the city libraries. Very cool job and my favourite so far. Hopefully my last too.
rant: Why can 'they' not put legal age restrictions on graphic novels at least? Some are soooooo not for kids
new word: dearth
/dərTH/
noun
noun: dearth; plural noun: dearth
a scarcity or lack of something.
"there is a dearth of evidence"
absence
"a dearth of trained specialists"
new food: Well drink really. Home made milkshake. Mint for me (none of those hairy strawberries!) two scoops of value vanilla icecream, some peppermint flavouring and milk. Very nice but I do need to find a fruit flavour I like.
new activity: First time ever writing a post from my phone. This will make posting more often so much easier
today was a good day
right one bus stop to go. Catch you tomorrow
