A most excellent weekend
Feb. 17th, 2010 08:39 amI will try to keep this short, in the interests of not taking the rest of this week to write up one post. But we had a really nice 3-day-weekend.
Saturday, we played with our D&D group. We finished mopping up the goblin caves, and Lady Karen accidentally got pulled into a mystical pool that a wizard had asked us to check out. Stuff happened; mostly through luck, I ended up doing what needed to be done. Because other members of the group may see this entry before we play again next weekend, that's about all I can safely say about it, excepting that the blue tattoo-like mark on Lady Karen's arm was a result of doing stuff in the pool. Oh, and Lady Karen likes the tattoo mark - her eyes can flash blue now!
Sunday, we went to see Avatar 3D. I have not been so completely enthralled by a nearly 3-hour movie in a long long time. (I think the last time was probably when I went to see Fellowship of the Ring.) And it's similarly rare for me to want to go back in and watch a movie a second time immediately after seeing it. Sure, the story has been done and the biology is more than a little silly. But that doesn't get in the way of (1) the visual pretties, and (2) the sweep of the story. I got completely caught up in it, never paying any attention to my water bottle or granola bar.
Monday, we went to see the King Tutankhamun exhibit. ( Stuff about the exhibit. )
Monday evening, I played with Inkwell Ideas' free online version Coat of Arms Design Studio to implement a coat of arms for Lady Karen, heir-apparent to the March of Schwartzburg. I'd had a moderately clear idea of what I wanted ever since our GM![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cerebralpaladin told me I could design it myself, but had to make allowances for the label of heir (the upturned crown up top). Anyway, the userpic today is the result, which I'm really pretty pleased with.
Off to a busy work week!
