Who Dat Man?

"Who dat man?", I hear strangers whispering as I float past them with my newly strengthened self esteem and the buzz of winning convincingly still coursing through my veins.

"Why, that is The Much Honored Bock McMillan, laird of Southern Charm etc., etc.. The laird just returned from a tournament of mahjong, where he resoundedly beat the crap out of his friends, while still maintaining a humble and benign appearance.", they tell their friends.

"He has today actually taken on the new title of 'The Most Gracious Emperor of China', believe it or not!"

Mahjong Madness

This Saturday I am going to submerge myself into complete and utter Mahjong madness with three friends.

We are checking into a quiet hotel in the countryside to start playing at 1PM local time and then go on until we are finished, which probably will be early Sunday morning. There will only be short breaks while the tiles are shuffled and dealt and one longer break for a three course dinner with wine.

I love board games and I absolutely hate losing when I play them... So, the weekend can turn out as a wonderful time or the worst day in my life (Well, maybe not quite but surely close to it.).

Keep your fingers crossed for me, please!

Imagine Peacefest -- November 11th-13th

Yikes this will be a busy weekend, with a three day peacefest, a bollywood party and I have a booking for playing Mah-Jong on Sunday...

Why can´t you people consult with the lairds secretary before making all these arrangements - don´t you realize the laird has a busy schedule?! ...but I will do my very best to get some of the action, I am of course most grateful for people who take the time and make the effort to entertain us all in our SecondLife!

Mahjong Weekend

On Saturday I am playing mahjong with friends in real life. We usually start early in the evening and end late in the night. I usually enjoy it, but at the time being I am tired and confused so I am not at all sure of how it will go.

Still I´ll go through the motions and keep a stiff upper lip.

See you all on Sunday!
