I've finally realized why it takes me five clicks and some typing to log into my blogger account successfully. They now require the full @gmail.com for your username, and not just the part before the @, as used to be the case. Now it only takes me four clicks and some typing. Thanks, Blogger!
Everybody Was Kung Fu Fighting
So I got my stripe. It was not an easy test but apparently I did quite well. Considering the talent of some of the people who also got their stripe in the past little while, I feel pretty good about that.
My lovely wife is sewing the stripe onto my green sash. She rocks.
It occurred to me that there's only one stripe left to be sewn once this one is done. That's a hell of a thought.
Booster Draft
We were joined by Serdic, the elusive Null (still alive!), Mr. T and KMc for the booster draft. Prime showed up but since he left the purchase of his boosters until the literal last minute, at which point the stores had closed up shop, he was left out in the cold (metaphorically). Consequently he was a spectator for the action.
I started drafting white, since the first card I pulled from my first booster was a shiny foil Serra Avenger, plus green, but ended up drafting lots of red that nobody else was taking. I ended up with a W/G/R deck, heavy on the red and less on the white. Won my first game against Serdic, then lost to Null with a horrible mana screw, then a loss to KMc. I didn't play my fourth game against Mr. T because it was late at that point and Null and KMc had tied for the win and neither of us could equal their 3-1 records.
Planar Chaos is amazingly fun to draft. Seriously, it kicks all kinds of ass. I think we'll need to do PC again in our next draft.
Good times.
New Hardware
Rumours today that the Gov't was looking into buying 80 Leo2A4s from Germany (second hand, for dirt cheap) and leasing 20 2A6's until they could make us some new ones. This is, to put it mildly, very good news. Here's hoping.
So, eye candy -- Greek 2A4's. Purty, ain't they?
