Had a fun Saturday --

It was the last tourney for the Prophecy League (VtES) and the outcome was great -- all the fun people were there. ^_^ The games were pretty fast (everyone was bleeding!) and we ended before 4.

J and I decided to abandon our initial plan of going to Eastwood and ended up going to Galleria to watch Taking Lives (in hindsight, we really should have bitten the bullet and just watched Paycheck).

It was a wonderful day -- I felt bright and cheery the whole time (even if I got massacred in all 3 rounds of VtES games). (I really like it that things are falling into place ^_^)
