So, I finally made it down to the Days of Knights (local gaming shop) "Game Room" for their casual Thursday Magic: the Gathering. Aaron was able to join me as well. We didn't stay too long, but we did play a round of commander with a young man we met there. He reminded me of Siin, but quieter. He also had a friend that showed up with a slight speech impediment on top of a New York accent (and a possibly unhealthy obsession with Rick and Morty).

All in all, though, it was decent. It's a small play area, and had a good chunk of people (and it didn't smell bad; AND the bathroom, though a little questionable, had a large pale that was full of paper towels from people washing their hands--good sign!)

My working out is proceeding well. I am taking a break today and may go in tomorrow, but this week I have run a good 3 miles, worked out core and arms, and biked about 6 1/2 miles. Not too shabby.

We are going out with one of my colleagues tonight to catch the flick Mother! which I had not even heard of before; however, it looks creepy and interesting. Also, there will be wine and cheese afterward.

I have also started the arduous process of grad school applications again. I think the processes are purposefully made incredibly obtuse, complicated, and inane just to test applicants' wherewithal to complete the damned forms.
