The SNL short doesn’t seem to be available. “The Chronic…What?..cles of Narnia” will not be making an appearance.

But that wasn’t what my lazy Sunday is about anyhoo. Doug just took off and is headed back for his DnD campaign. Just a visit to get out of Kingston for a bit and I’d told him he had a place to stay any time he came back.

He’s firmly in the no-mana-cost friend category. Good to get a man-friend take on relationships and dating and just shooting the shit about everything. Whole bunches of debates regarding feminism, gender, accidental racism and sexism, politics in general. Good conversational meal. I hadn’t expected to see him much, but most of his friends were out of town so we hung out most of the weekend and it was easy.

Now I do the grading and course prep and all that I had hoped to do, but totally worth it to just hang and connect with a no drama friend.

Sidenote: finally got a chance to play with Chris and do the X-Wing game. Super satisfying. Great analog aerial fighting game with miniatures. Potential expensive habit…or, as Chris has offered…just play at his house.
