Lots of CAA-related people ended up coming over, 33 at one point, all crammed into Luke&#8217;s house.  I took a picture of all the shoes at the door, as I often do.  If my laptop were on right now, I&#8217;d actually bother downloading the picture.  At midnight, the party moved elsewhere, and I went to sleep.<\/p>\n<p>The next morning, I woke up rather early and BARTed to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wizards.com\/default.asp?x=sideboard\/events\/gpoak04\">Grand Prix Oakland<\/a>, where I was one of 15 or so judges presiding over the nearly 500-person event.  It was my first judging experience in a while, and the first one of that magnitude.  I was doing fine, except for not noticing an error at the end of the day.  I got home at about 12:30am, and Luke was out at RHPS, so I had to move my car to the street and go to sleep without anyone else there&#8230; and I couldn&#8217;t figure out how to turn the damn light off in the living room.<\/p>\n<p>I woke up at 6am, packed up and drove this time, picking up a fellow judge on the way.  Day two wasn&#8217;t as long, but was more tiring, my feet already hurt when the day had barely begun.  I made it through the day without making any more mistakes, until the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wizards.com\/default.asp?x=sideboard\/gpoak04\/qf1\">very last match<\/a> I judged.  Thankfully, the reporter left out the error I made&#8211; it was brought to light after the match had finished.  (I answered a hypothetical question incorrectly, by overthinking or underthinking the problem, depending on how you look at it.  I could explain it, but as soon as I start saying things like &#8220;State Based Effect&#8221; and &#8220;Triggered Ability&#8221; most of your eyes would glaze over.)  I was tired, and should have conferred with the head judge.  But now that&#8217;s all behind me.  After that match, I drove home and took a nice warm bath, then went to sleep at 9pm and didn&#8217;t wake up until 9:30 am.<\/p>\n<p>Ironically, both incidents involved the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wizards.com\/magic\/autocard.asp?name=Sword[of[Light[and[Shadow\" target=Sitelet>same damn card<\/a>.  That damn thing has too many abilities and makes me cry.<\/p>\n<p>On a completely different note, I think my Palm Pilot&#8217;s batteries are dying, it refuses to hold a charge any more.  Also, I finally got my badge at work functional again&#8230; I have been having to beg to get through the gates so often that I just got waved through the security booth this morning, I&#8217;m glad that&#8217;s over for now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As my previous entry alluded to, I was at &#8216;s house last night, having driven up primarily to stay over the night, as I had to be up early and in Oakland on Saturday.
