Birthday Fun

My little brother turned 21 yesterday. I had planned to go home and surprise him on the day but that just didn't happen. Instead he'll have to make do with a phone call and a DVD of the HPLHS silent movie version of The Call of Cthulhu.

Making the phone call was a hassle. I got back from the pub quiz (we won!) past midnight and attmepted to ring, only to discover that the IP card I had gave me "less than one minute" of speaking time. Then no one was in when I called the house. I left a panicked message and went out again.

Everything was shut, so I had to troop all the way down to the 7-11, which contrary to the name is open 24 hours, to get a new one. I called home (at about half past five GMT, now), got his new mobile number off my mum, then couldn't read my own writing and had to call her back to confirm the last two digits, before finally getting through to him. He was at the Phoenix, playing pool with his mates.

So anyway, now I'm really tired after not getting enough sleep. On the upside, I had a great idea for a My Life With Master convention game -- Top Gun. Not sure how it would work but I'm sure it's possible.
