Holiday weekend finally over
Jul. 5th, 2017 11:55 pmWhen, without warning you, your desktop computer decides to save the latest version of your file on its hard drive rather than on the shared network where you've kept all the other versions, it can then be a considerable nuisance to drive to the office just to print the file, only to discover it's not there. The nuisance is compounded when it's 88 degrees outside and your car's air conditioning is having "issues." I wasn't terribly happy about doing a second round trip, but when I rolled down the passenger side window as well, I had such a nice cross breeze that I ended up not minding after all.
After that, I gave up on productivity and went to play Magic at the game store with J. We drafted the Egypt-themed set, and I got one of the bombiest of "bomb rares," the dragon Glorybringer. I only got to play it in one game, though after my opponent destroyed it, I was able to bring it back from the graveyard and play it again. He still won the game, but it was exciting! I did win one of my seven games, this one versus J, by playing a fancy crocodile. I almost won a game against an opponent named James - that is, I had him to 3 life while I still had 21, but then he played the planeswalker Liliana and gradually defeated me. It was a challenge communicating with him - it took me a few minutes to figure out he was deaf, and a bit longer to come up with gestures that did the trick. He ended up winning the event, beating me, then another fellow, then J.
