I had tremendous fun with Magic : The Gathering this weekend - got to play quite a bit and conducted some trades that made me very happy - picking up some cards I'd been looking for for a while. But I used up a tremendous chunk of my weekend doing so.

I know, you're thinking : "Well, if it's fun, why do you mind spending a lot of time doing it?"

Because, as silly as it sounds, it's not efficient fun. Meaning, the level of fun isn't commensurate with the time and money I sink into it. Usually. This weekend was close. I'm still on the fence as to whether I'm "back" in Magic for the long term - I've spent a hideous amount of money since getting back into the hobby, and I'd only recoup a fraction by selling out, so that's a consideration. On the other hand, if I stay in, I will continue to spend hideous amounts of money.

Yeah, I know, it's not exactly a dilemma worthy of King Solomon, but there you go.

In other news, the Wizard Shazam Heroclix I mentioned previously sold on eBay (under the auspices of friend Eric's seller account) for $107.60 - after giving Eric a ten percent cut (with a little kicker to round off the value nicely) I'll be getting $95 from that.

I think I have a four-day weekend coming up, thanks to Memorial Day and my current, no-Friday schedule. Sweet.
