Hi! Argh.
But...new monster! On Friday, even!
That would be a badass Eidolon for Skull and shackles.

Am back. I got a belated birthday burger because the friend was sick on my birthday party day.

As much as I'm enjoying my first playthrough of the Dragon Age series, this trend towards "darker, grittier, edgier" fantasy has got to f!@@ing stop...
No it doesn't.
well, to put it another way, dragon age doesn't do well with other types of fantasy.

What do you mean? To clarify my original point, I don't want the trend to go away-- I mean, I absolutely love 'Game of Thrones'-- I just with folks would stop equating "dark/gritty/bleak" with "good." Stories can be all of those things and still be awesome (re: 'Game of Thrones'), but when there are few if any hopeful moments in the darkness, I feel that it often takes something away from what the story could potentially be. If I wanted things to be that bleak all the time, I'd just go outside.
Shining and bright/optimistic doesn't equate with "good" quite as easily. Or rather, quite as universally, with respect to profits for a multi media project.

Yes, distant relative I don't know, getting in my personal space and telling me tearfully how much I remind you of my dead mother is totally appropriate behavior at my grandfather's funeral and doesn't make me uncomfortable at all. </sarcasm>. :(

My condolences, lynora.

Sorry to hear about that, Lynora.
I'm sorry. I know how hard that must be. Peace to you and your relative. :/

While I was returning from a friend's birthday I noticed a hedgehog walking on the street. I pulled it from the road and let it run into the nearby bush. It was obviously scared when I raised it from the ground but I hope that dose of fear convinced it to hide somewhere instead of walking back on to the street.

Good to know that I'm able to make as much of an ass of myself when I'm sober as I can when I'm drunk.

Hey, there's a reason they call me Tactics "the mule" lion 'round here...
Tried to get to bed earlier because I was feeling tired. Got up after two hours of lying down. Am I no longer capable of falling asleep before dawn?
And now I am again spending time to write on the current project while the sky brightens...

Write is relative. It's mostly writing and deleting few, mostly the same sentences in a loop. Thankfully there is the tendency of the wordcount grow with each iteration instead of staying the same.

Goat and llama were wandering around and looking for some action. What's strange about that? :P

Is it still merely an archetype or is it veering into alternate class territory?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Ok, one more replacement ability needed and it will be done.

Finished the archetype. Might expand a few more things before sending it for review.
| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |
Argh. I completely forgot about another archetype that I was designing in my head while trying to sleep.

I went on a date yesterday, which is something that hasn't happened for a very long time. It went OK, which is an even rarer occurence. *If* I get a second date out of it, that'll be something that hasn't happened since somewhen in the middle of the Carboniferous era. Pseudopods crossed!

Going on another short tour with the band I play in starting on Thursday. First show is in Brooklyn, then somewhere near Philly, then Connecticut, and then back in CNY on Sunday.

Phrase my wife just uttered while watching me goof-off and help her at the same time: "It's like the kata of the insane demi-crow."
... that really needs to be a thing, now.

So, in this weekend's installment of With Tacticslion's Water...
- Friday, things seemed normal
- Saturday, we experienced very low water pressure
- Saturday late Afternoon, everything returned to normal
- - My wife got back home, and I helped carry things in the front door
- - We were home from then until "pizza-delivery" time, later
- - We found a very plain-looking "packet" attached to our door, simply saying "Notice" (we ignored this for food and family-time); it was not there prior, and there was no indication that it was important or official
- - Upon opening (from morbid curiosity about whatever advertisement was surely within it), the packet informed us that we were NOT TO DRINK THE WATER, EMERGENCY!!!!!1111!!!!111oneone111!!!!1111!!!!! (Use water boiled for - at minimum - one minute, no sink-water to brush teeth, no sink-water for washing dishes, no sink-water for anything. Too late.)
- - There was a number we could dial with questions or concerns. I did. It told me to call back between "Office Hours" of Monday to Thursday from 9 AM-5 PM.*
- Sunday, despite all our precautions, both of my boys (especially my three-year-old) have had tummy problems.
- Sunday, laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate evening, my wife receives an automated voice message informing her not to drink the water. SUNDAY, LATE EVENING. ... really? >:( What's worse, it rang, she answered instantly, and the message was already in progress, ("... I repeat...") and promptly hung up after the second (third? We have no way of knowing.) repetition. HOPE SHE GOT THAT WITH NO PHONE INTERFERENCE~!
I've not really mentioned this on any threads or anything, but... I am extremely upset at our water-company government (who's taken over our water company, recently, despite any protests with promises that it'll be better than ever).
This whole thing is exceedingly unacceptable and tremendously sketchy.
You have people deliver what looks like worthless adds in such secrecy that a family at home doesn't notice them, with no phone-update until two days of this warning was in effect.
And the whole unmarked, uninteresting "NOTICE" thing sneakily being attached to our door?
This is true of us, who were home the whole time; our next-door-neighbors who were sitting inside, right next to their front door when it was delivered; and their next-door-neighbors who were inside and outside and all around the house almost the whole time! SERIOUSLY!
WHO. DOES. THAT. And how do they escape notice?! They couldn't have pulled it off any better if they'd planned it!
This is so poorly handled, it's kind of mind-numbing. Such an important thing that could impact our health, and the warnings were poorly marked, and poorly distributed. When it was done so, it was done so in relative secrecy (intentional or otherwise).
I am... displeased. (Also, sleep-deprived, but that's something else altogether.)
* There's totally a different emergency line I could contact, by the way, though the "emergency" update information didn't include it. They will charge me the low, low price of $120-freaking-dollars for (extremely dubious) "privilege" of receiving "emergency service" from them. If I actually leave my problem as a message, I have no way of knowing if they'll charge me or not until they do, what they're going to do, or even if they'll see my call at all. There is no guarantee of any sort of return call or follow-up. THE. HECK.

Wow, that's some grade-A level incompetence there.
