This morning, I had a wonderful breakfast of croissant and café au lait that left me feeling quite happy and pleased with myself.
Sat down, and did a bit of writing of some blog entries here, as well as a new piece of hard science fiction that I've been feeling like writing for the past week. I managed to write about 2,600 words of the piece, and am quite happy with what I've jotted down.
Over a lunch of some roasted chicken in a salad with oil and vinegar and some spices, I went over the new Pandemic board game that I purchased on Friday, broke up the counters that needed to be, and generally enjoyed myself with what appears to be a very solid little game.
I made a few calls to rustle up some gamers, but the only one available to come and play this afternoon was
The game has left me wondering about whether or not it would be enjoyable to play Pandemic too often, as it seems that it might get predictable or always play the same after a while, but I suspect that may be moderated somewhat in the expansion set, which allows for several variants of the game. What I really liked about Pandemic was the fact that it was a cooperative game, rather than one where one constantly competes against other players, and where the players have the same basic goal. It'll make an excellent game to play with my goddaughter, Ellie, and her folks.
This evening, I plan to make a simple of supper of pasta of some sort with a side salad. There's the Senators-Maple Leafs hockey game on tonight, and then perhaps I'll watch another episode of Primeval, since I have to wait over two weeks to see the new material.
A good New Year's Day, if I do say so myself. :)
