Work was less productive than it needed to be, but not actually non-productive. I got several things done, just no progress on the big thing, which is due sooner than I had thought, and is going to make next week hell. But hopefully everything else is basically off my plate and I can just do it. Lent finished, kept my "go to the gym 40 times" thing.

Other stuff:
Monday: Hmm. That was a long time ago. Don't remember anything special.
Tuesday: Auria. Mostly wrap up from the run before, and trying to learn to use our Splefty New Magic Item. It's pretty scary.
Wednesday: Lyric Stage, Lady Day at Emerson's Bar and Grill, with the Lyric mob. It's a show about Billie Holiday, basically someone standing on stage pretending to be her doing a performance at the end of her career, telling stories about her career. I was not very taken with it, but I know nothing about her, or about Jazz in general. The reviews in the papers both liked it noticeably more than I did, saying it was a nice portrait of her, but I went in neither knowing nor caring much about her, and came out feeling the same way. It's well performed, it just doesn't say anything to me as a show. Call is 7 days of game in a character part, before being killed by the Racist Plot.
Thursday: Buying candy for Easter, then comic books, then home and puttering around.
Friday: Went to Entertaining Mr. Sloane, Publick Theater at the BCA. I didn't know the show, and understand now why [livejournal.com profile] firstfrost thinks none of the characters are sympathetic, but I mostly enjoyed it. It's definitely dated, and I'm not sure I need to see it again, but it was worth seeing once. And the actors were all quite good in their parts I thought, making even the fairly-incoherent-landlady part more-or-less cohere. Call it 8 days of game before being led off into an ambush by someone winning a seduction attack. After the show, swung by 5E for bar golf, which was amusing. Lacking almost entirely in cruft, but small enough that I could chat with the people I vaguely knew in smaller groups, and get to know them a little better, which was fun.
Saturday: Dragon run, heading home with the Butterfly Prince, part II, and running into small plots on the way. We must have been running slow, 'cause we got through fewer than the prior run, although I think we had more combats. Then swung by the guild game briefly to ghost, then off to work for a few hours, then to the 4th WAR party, Gentleman's Club, which was also smaller than I was expecting, but pleasant to hang out at.
Sunday: Easter Egg Hunt, starting at 11 and going until ~2:30, when most everyone had left and I started napping on the sofa, until the last stragglers left at ~5 to get dinner. We added Nummies for various runs to the Eggs this year, and people definitely found it amusing, although it didn't generate quite the trading effect I had hoped for. Mostly, I think people just aren't interested in candy anymore, and so it's all about dice and nummies, and there's no trade in candy at all. Perhaps if some undergrads had showed up, they would have been more interested in sugar, but they claimed to all be too tired after two nights of partying. (Including [livejournal.com profile] maverickseraph, who I find I still lump in as an "undergrad" in my head.) Woke up and did some work I'd brought home with me, although not as much as I should have, and then went to Clash of the Titans with housemates, [livejournal.com profile] mjperson, and [livejournal.com profile] ilhander. I don't think it's actually worse than the first version, but it's not good. It's not *terrible*, but Percy Jackson was better. Call it 5.5 days of game before being turned to stone by Medusa.
