daidoji_giseiI got back home around one-ish this afternoon, and there were all kinds of things I could/should have done (write tournament report, clean house, take nap, etc, etc,) and so of course I sat down to watch more of the Princess Tutu fansub that ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
helen_keeble gave me last year. I've gotten as far as Chapter 13 (Swan Lake), and I have decided a few things. First, [spoiler] and [spoiler] are, as they say, pure comedy gold. "WHAT DID YOU SEE?!" "I DIDN'T LOOK!" I think I may have to rewatch 12 and 13 before I go on. The second thing is: young, snarky, tousle-haired, sword-wielding men are good. Young, snarky, tousle-haired, sword-wielding, ballet-dancing men are even better. Which only goes to show that while I am shallow, I am not tasteless.
Anyway, the KC tournament was lots of fun. I played a deck made (with a few substitutions) from a decklist Scott Rixon kindly sent me--I've gotten so little playtime in SE I don't even know what a good gold scheme looks like. In stunning proof of the theory that net-decking doesn't work, I went 1-5 with it. My only 'win' was a concession in the last round from an opponent who claimed that I had a stronger board position when time was called. I'm not sure I believed him, but I had donated a cake for the lowest placing player who had gone the entire tournament, and he was going to get the cake one way or another since I don't believe in taking home my own bounties.
Meanwhile, during the finals rounds a few of the cake-winners had cut up their prizes and were sharing them around: Much cake-eating bliss ensued. Also, I took the time to answer (somewhat unhelpfully) a number of questions about Bayushi Nomen. "Is Nomen a man or a woman?" "Yes." I think I got around to being unambiguous, but I was very, very tired then so I don't remember clearly.
It was a really fun weekend and I'm glad I was able to go. Now I need some dinner, and after that more Princess Tutu watching. I need to see as much as I can today, because the coming week will have me busy at both of my jobs. Onwards and upwards!
