Creating a Board Game

We’re going to try it. Herch keeps writing down his ideas, some of which were actually mine about a year ago, and some of us will try play testing it tonight. I’ve never created a board game before. I’ve got a feeling I’ll be spending 50 bucks at Toys ‘R’ Us to buy some other games to cannabalize for game board and game pieces.

I did just receive my Rock Band 2 Ion Premium Drum Kit, and it needs to be assembled before I explode from anticipation, but it can wait until tomorrow if it means we have a new board game hit on our hands. But fairly soon I have to get down to the business of learning to play the drums. That’s not even counting what I need to learn for work (I’ve got basic scripting down, but many DBA activities still evade my understanding). Good thing I’ve got vacation time already planned.

scratch that, I’m officially tired

and the weekend hasn’t even started yet.

Friday night I’m going to Harrah’s Metropolis to participate in the local Rock Band competition. We have our song picked out and we’re likely going to get smoked by some 1337 guitar heroes, but it should be fun. I plan on spending no more than $20 gaming, but according to my track record I should make back gas money on the slots.

Saturday I’m running 8 miles. By running I mean walk/run/walking 8 miles. I just want keep my leg muscles loose and my willpower strong.

My dad made me two 4′x4′ planter boxes for the back and I need to figure what to grow. The book “Square Foot Gardening” is going to help me through it, but I’ve got some work to do.

Sunday is Easter and my parents are cooking up a storm for the day. It would be a long day of driving, but I would get to see my nephews on an egg hunt. Still undecided there
