The Best Laid Plans

I fully intended to go to game night every week this month. But I think the universe doesn't want me to have friends.

Two weeks ago I actually went to two game nights, one on Tuesday and one on Friday. Then last week work exploded. I found out that I have about a million things due at the end of the month and I got approved for a bunch of overtime. The good news is that this means more money, which is always handy when you're moving. The ban news is that I ran out of spare time.

Both last week and this week I was at the office or working at home so late that going to game night at all would have been pointless. Next week I'll be in Rhode Island and the week after that I'll by in NYC. So I guess I'll try to pick the game nights back up in July when I (hopefully) have time again.

For now it's on to Plan B.

This Friday, Can't Stop the Serenity is having it's annual event in Arlington. I found out about this last year, but not until after the Virginia event. Basically, you pay $15 to watch Serenity with a bunch of Browncoats. All the money goes to various charities supported by Joss, like Equality Now! So, worst case scenario is I drink a beer and watch an awesome movie. Best case scenario is I meet a few fellow Whedonites in the area. Honestly, that's not a bad worst case scenario. And when it comes to the Whedon-verse, I have no shortage of small talk.

Take that universe.
