Once again I’ve managed to plan a trip out of town on the week of a new champion’s release, which explains in part the absence of new content here. It’s been a little crazier than that, lately, and the rundown is kinda funny, so here you go.
A friend of mine got married in Missouri but decided to have the reception in Ohio in the fall (which is the greatest season, don’t test me on this). My girlfriend and I were crazy excited, but planned a trip up north without knowing the following:
1 – Our current home would get two feet of rain (yes, two feet) in just four days, be declared in state of emergency, and experience weather that would preclude going outside for anything but the most dire of circumstances resulting in somewhat spotty internet the day before a ten-hour road trip (not great when you work on the web).
2 – Once at the reception, I would be coerced into playing a game of basketball in the dark, in bone-chilling rain, after six hours of feasting and drinking any beer that started with the word “Imperial.”
3 – We would visit my brother – he attends our undergraduate alma mater – and spend the better part of an hour trying to find a restaurant that was open on Sunday night in a small, Ohio town. All three of us would then proceed to eat ourselves sick on grinders from the best greek restaurant on the planet (yeah, should have just started there).
4 – We would spend almost as much time in the car at home as we would to get from North Carolina to Ohio and back again.
And last but certainly not least, especially as far as you all are concerned:
5 – I would be out of town until Tuesday night, unable to enjoy Swain’s launch day and give you the expeditious updates on the latest LoL patch that you so deserve.
One of these days I’ll figure out how to plan a trip. in the meantime, spend some good time with Swain, so you can teach me how to play him when I return. As you might guess, FG LoL Mondays are off for this week, as I’m out of town until Tuesday. Until then – lane well, ward often, and above all, rage like the Hulk if you start to lose.
