Last night

tangerinpenguin, Steve, and
Pam came over for dinner and gaming. We ended up
playing Iron Dragon (after rolling a die due to
indecision). Pam had not played before, but she
picked it up quickly and did well. It was a fun
game, and while I wasn't close to winning when
Steve hit 250 points, I didn't feel like I had
played a bad game.
Embla surprised me: she actually came into the
dining room and accepted attention from Pam. Pam
had never been to our house before and hadn't met
Embla previously (I'm not sure if she's met the
other two); Embla is generally very "shy" (read:
reclusive) when dealing with anyone new (or a crowd
of any significant size). She's been getting better,
and this was another milestone. (I've had Embla
for five years, and she was a two-year-old stray
of uncertain background then. So she's lived most
of her life with me and knows I'll take care of her,
but she's still very skittish.)
Today we had lunch with ralphmelton
and lorimelton. We geeked about D&D.
:-)
Tonight Dani and I are going to see the Reduced
Shakespeare Company in a show called "The Reducers".
They're covering a large number of classic works of
literature in a small amount of time. (I think the
run time is a bit under 2 hours, including an
intermission.) The reviews I've seen have been
positive, so this should be fun.
We ended up with free tickets, and they even
look to be good seats! (I was trying to score free
tickets for "Man of La Mancha" but missed and ended
up with these instead. Which is fine.)
We saw their "Complete Works of Shakespeare in 43
Minutes", or whatever it's called, a few years ago,
and that was a lot of fun except for one part that
was in highly-questionable taste. But it's probably
pretty hard to do a tasteful parody of Titus Andronicus,
so I suppose that can be forgiven.
It looks like we're going to see LOTR on Erev Xmas.
