I participated in a St. Valentine’s Day “shooting spree”

February 14^th isn’t generally my favorite day. Regardless of relationship status (it’s still great, thanks for asking), it’s the kind of day that is designed to put a lot of unnecessary stress or pressure on people. Since the boi and I have been together a lot of years, and since we tend to do things contrary or backwards, it’s no surprise we “got it wrong” again.  

Today was a most excellent day. It started out with Dim Sum, followed by a trip to The Dreaming (a local comic book store). I picked up a gaming book, a Gloom Cookie collection, GhostTalker’s Dream #2 and 3,  New Amsterdam (novel), White Stains (Aleister Crowley) and a the next two issues of Lock and Key. The boi grabbed a hardbound copy of the Watchmen.

Next, we took a drive across the water to Wade’s (Bellevue Indoor Shooting Range). I shot a variety of .22 caliber pistols, a Springfield .45, and a .44 magnum. I was tempted to shoot the Smith and Wesson 500, but the recoil and heaviness were a bit much at the end of the day. The boi’s Valentine’s Day card is the “autographed” target I shot with 3 bull’s-eye and the rest in the black. I love the smell of gun fire. It does not mean I want to be in a real-life gun fight.

Later, we headed over to some friends for alcohol, pizza and the latest episode of Battlestar Galactica. Came home and it was time for video games and late night reading.

If loving this is wrong, I don’t want to be right.
