The cumulative effect of which is . . .

Ever had one of those weekends where a whole lot of ordinary stuff added up to "good," despite no one part of it being remarkable and some parts of it being "bleah," taken out of context? I just did.

Saturday started out with a haircut, which is among the most mundane things that a person can do. Yet getting rid of an unwanted mop is refreshing. Then I went home . . . and finished my tax prep for 2008. "Oh boy," you're thinking, "this guy is boring. He should've been an accountant." Probably! But getting that crap out of the way – a haircut for a few weeks and taxes for an entire year – leaves one feeling accomplished. (And later that day, I got a mitraillette from Frite Alors as a reward for the taxes, which helped!)

Today, I went to play in that Unhallowed Metropolis campaign I joined. Unfortunately, we didn't have quorum. Instead, I went with my fellow gamers to the home of one of their friends – someone I didn't know – and proceded to have a good conversation over coffee. Later, I went up to a Bosniac place, Café Sarajevo, where Bonnie's baladi troupe had a performance. They had quorum issues as well . . . but once again, things were transformed by coffee and conversation. On the way home, we hit Kilo for some cake, too.

Sitting here at the end of it all, sipping a Noilly Prat (yes, I'm the sort of barbarian who drinks an apéro at midnight on a Sunday) to take the edge off all the allongés I drank, I'm left with this feeling of "Gee, getting some unwork done, and taking time simply to converse, sure is nice." Let's see if I can spin this feeling out until Tuesday, at least.

Ya know, I've had that kind of weekend the past two. I'm hesitant to say they were great, but they seemed to include most (this past) or all (the one before) of the things I could think of that would make my day.
Lesse if I can sum it up (in no particular order)
Good gaming, good movie, quality time with my child, a fantastic sandwich, some quality time with a woman, some quality time with a good friend, some kicking, punching, throwing, and rolling around in the yard, quality sleep...
I mean, hey, what more is there really?
