Looks like my phone just died. No reason, no explanation, just turned off and won't go past the Samsung logo when I take the battery back out and put it back in. Needless to say, after everything that happened today, where the place I was going to this weekend for a special training on mental health first aid certification said they couldn't find the money order I sent them and so can't give me my certification, and my second job had some kind of error or glitch where they said I didn't work Pride weekend and so didn't pay me either in full or at all(still not sure which), this is...not a good day. Trying to keep it together and not put my fist through something or someONE and I am succeeding. But this is a lot of bad luck for one day.
Thanks to the glitch with the second job, I don't even have enough for THAT.
I know you said work had been slowing down or just plain strange of late, did something else happen to make you want booze?
Yep. It is a pretty ubiquitous offering in US bars and liquor stores.
I wonder if the formula is different in the US market. I will have to compare.

The kidlet has been kinda down lately so today we just did things that were fun for him. Mini golf, tacos for dinner, and plenty of Mass Effect time (he thinks watching me play Mass Effect is better than watching tv...go figure). He gets so lonely during summer break, and with the karate school being closed for art fair last week he hasn't been around people other than me for too many days. Hopefully today helped. Well, that and karate tomorrow evening. Hanging out with other kids should help a lot. :)
Sounds like a kid-approved fun time! Hope it helps!

Just did something financially stupid, but cool. A friend of mine works at a used bookstore (you can probably see where this is going), and posted on FB from work that he'd gotten some really old D&D books into the shop. Since the bookstore is only a few blocks away from my apartment, I went to check it out, and discovered that the books in question were a sixth printing of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Player's Handbook and a first printing of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Dungeon Master's Guide. Ended up buying them, too, at $10 apiece. Looks like I'm not going to be eating for the next week.
Actually, it sounds like a decent investment. But then again, I hoard books and have a few out-of-print ones too.

exactly
most likely, you will just be able to get a good view of the thousands of people in lines waiting to do stuff
my advice, hang out in the Gaslamp district, so many places there will be having comic-con-related events and stuff, and it's just a fun place, period. Great bars, great food, great nightlife

Grandmother called us yesterday evening that we need to come imidiatlyto the nursing home,so we literally dropped everything (we where prepearing dinner) and drove there, turned out she was just lonley and afraid
so in the end we cookedthe dwarflings mush for the next few days and ate freezer pizza instead of the nice dinner we had planned
my boss beeing a dick and me constantly thinking angrily about him in my week of does not help as well

dad and me went collecting blackberries yesterday,
dad knew a perfect spot right beside dirt road, no crawling through underbushes, not even walking, just collecting,
it was, as a very new German saying goes: "easy as beating Brasil"
did not make the event less thorny, so
the blackberries had overgrown a large hedge of plum and apple trees, all full of fruit no one cares about anymore,
it makes me sad to see that, only 50 years ago ahedge like that made the difference if you could get your whole family through the winter, and in many parts of the world it still does

A quick Internet search reveals that all Bailey's Irish Cream is made in the same place in Ireland according to the same recipe (with recipe variants for the flavored products, but why bother?)
Still, I feel like a taste test is in order.
Sounds like the only reasonable solution to this conundrum. Better bring a bottle of the original next time I go to the States. :P While we're at it, we better be thorough.
Irish Bailey Cream + Cola.
Irish Bailey Cream + Coffee.
Purely for scientific purposes, of course. >.>

goood morning FaWtL,
boy has a skin rash :-/
seems not to bother him much, but makes us nervous (his first anomaly)so visit the pediatrician it is, instead of going swimming
Sorry to hear about that, hope it's just a simple rash and nothing more. Also sorry to hear about the rest of your troubles. I hope things improve for you soon.
Good luck with the jam, I'm sure it'll come out tasty. :)

Meanwhile, we entered into discussions with Art, trying to get him to see the Light. He considered us as blind as we considered him, but our plan meant we had werewolves and vampires on our side when we hit Atlantis, while his meant we'd be going without any backup. (His actual plan was him and his crew going without us, but considering I was still wielding Mjölnir, that was not a likely outcome) After it was found that three of his people had died to the escaping Werewolf, I used a power of my own to free the minds of the mundane folk, and gave a rousing speech about how any can be redeemed from the Darkness, and if Art could have seen that, three warriors of the Light would not be dead. Apparently, I was pretty convincing, as more of the mobsters, and even the other Shepherds, started to lower their guns and question Art's fervor. Building on my momentum and my character's military service, I began taking command of the situation entirely, getting maps drawn up, equipment sorted, tactics decided and squads created. Even Art got caught up in the momentum and before long we had all the mobsters free and acting of their own will, and the Werewolf and Godfather returning to the group.
With our forces reunited under more tolerant management, the Godfather, Bob, called in some heavy hardware and more men. Our Mage covered using his powers to create more equipment under the guise of calling in contacts of his own. How smoothly the attack will actually go, we need to wait for next week to discover, but we're as well equipped as we can be, and we have more men going in than I originally expected we'd have, so I'm optimistic.

Good morning folks. Still without a phone. Here's where things stand thus far.
Today at work is a BBQ we're holding for the members. Hopefully this calms me down a bit. However, tomorrow is the training where I won't be getting the note afterwards...*sigh* more frustration. Sunday is Darklight Sisterhood at least, but it's going to be weird running it without my phone.

Of course, last time I went drinking with this friend on a Friday we rolled upto boardgames quite trashed. My friend went home & then I got dealt into one brand-new game with the introduction: "At least you're not gonna win this one." Then I proceeded to completely stomp away to victory.

Good luck getting the mystery of the phone solved, and hope you enjoy the BBQ later. Also hope you have a good weekend.
