Random thoughts for an Early Morning

Well, I’m heading into work now. Yes the time is right on the post. We’re installing another set of new dist boxes today at work. This should be interesting. The conversion Sunday did not work as well as we would have hoped (I actually was in Chicago, so I didn’t help out). I did get called in on Sunday night to try and fix a problem. It ended up taking 2 hours. I cannot wait to get rid of the on-call pager tomorrow.

On a better note, Crissy and I went to Chicago for a St. Patrick’s day party on Saturday. It was a lot of fun. We played a game called “Guitar Hero.” The game rocks. and rolls. Anyways, it was so much fun, that I ended up buying a copy of the game Saturday. We are starting to find a lot of cool features in it that go beyond the freestyle play. It looks like it might be a lot of fun to have 2 of the guitar controllers.

I’ll try to type more when I have more time. I really do have to leave in this crap to get to work.

Settlers

Yesterday I ordered a board game called Settlers of Catan. I’m getting the main board, Seafarers expansion, and Cities and Knights, plus all the expansions to make them 6 player. It should be here Thursday. Now, I just need to figure out how to label all the pieces without giving away the probability of what the piece is. This is only important for when you are playing an exploration map, but still those maps are fun. I’m thinking about printing out a spreadsheet of each game set (made while I’m popping the pieces out for each game and expansion). Anybody else have any good ideas?
