Unimportant for now, as I need to get to sleep... Less than seven hours of sleep is not that much...

No, I am not sleeping naked today. It started raining and the temperature dropped from overwhelming to bearable.

Perks of living in a major metropolitan city #32: Sister wants Disney gift cards for her birthday, and there's a Disney Store within easy reach, so I don't have to go running around to figure out which Walgreens or CVS or grocery store has them.
It's just too bad the Disney Store here really only has kid stuff. I could get me some new Disney crap, but I need grown up things.

I'm spending my day in pj's because hurting too much to be functional, and my six-year old has a sore throat, so we're sitting on my bed with a pot of tea and a sheet of pleather we got from Nobody's Wife, constructing a holster for the handmade Harry Potter wand we got her for her birthday. I found a good pattern on the same blog that had the pumpkin pasties recipe I made for her birthday weekend.Hope you both heal up swiftly!
Just for the record, are these pasties as in baked goods, or pasties as in nipple coverings?

Speaking of job interviews, I have one on Friday that I'm pretty confident about. It's retail, they just lost a ton of student employees to graduation, and I'm definately researching the company and tailoring my interview responses.
That did go pretty well. I was in a really good position going in, though. They're grasping for people, I have experience in cashiering (which is what I was interviewing for), and I left my last job on good terms, so this interview was kind of a "Come in confident and don't make any major mistakes, and you'll have the job" affair.

Went to see Wonder Woman this morning. It was awesome!!!
My husband is slightly less enthusiastic about it. He thought it was okay. Meanwhile I'm freaking giddy about a genuinely good superhero movie with a female lead who seriously kicks ass.
I loved the movie.
Awesome, Rosita! Congratulations!
lynora and lisamarlene: I'm sorry to hear about your health situation, and were right there with you; my family was forced to stay home instead of visit my niece because we had some nasty head colds, and last night my wife gained some internal troubles that kept us awake most of it; she seems to have settled, but won't eat much despite being hungry as we don't want another repeat, and hanging a super-sweet-but-sick two year old is actually both cute and exhausting. The five year old and I are mooooostly okay despite the sick, but I had to collapse this afternoon due to overwhelming headache from nowhere. All that to say: we are with you, and hope you get better soon!
I'm glad Wonder Woman was awesome! I'm hyped: my wife is even thinking of a character loosely based on her!
As an aside, I give Autocorrfect a lot of grief, but it can be helpful (sometimes a lot), and it can even surprise me by doing something right when I've made an unintentional mistake, like it automatically capitalizing both 'w's in "Wonder Woman" - credit where it is due...

Pea Bear grabbed the party balloons for the water balloon fight.
I'm pretty sure each balloon has about a half gallon of water in it.

I've often wondered - is sharp Cheddar what we'd call mature Cheddar, i.e. aged and with a stronger flavour, as opposed to mild Cheddar?

Speaking of which, there was what can only be described as a sort of heavy plasma gun style water shooter in the tatty goods shop on Saturday - it was about 3ft long by 1.5 ft deep, and cost around £15. If I had kids, I would have bought it for 'em, more fool me.

Yup. In the U.S., only "extra sharp" is aged more than a year. Most of it is pretty young and pretty plasticky.

So, you know you've had a poor day of gaming when, "I Holy Smite the kitchen help to get rid of the rats" does not even break the top 3 "bad decisions of the day".
#3: We kill the rude Pirate Lord at the banquet we were hosting in the Pirate Lords' honor. I think that's a faux pas.
#2: In order to let our ally keep her word so she doesn't die, we leave the life oracle locked in "mortal combat" with here while the rest of the party moved on. Yes, we split the party. And yes, the two high-charisma, high-randiness outsider females ended up locked in something other than mortal combat.
So yea, Del had a good time, even if the rest of the party didn't.
#1: "I do 50-100 damage a round, and I'm fighting an alchemist. So I'll spend 3 rounds trying to use combat maneuvers on him while he bombs me to death. And oh, where's my healer?"
Very, VERY poor rolls (a 4, 4, 5, 3) meant he never got a good grapple. A low damage roll by the GM let him escape with 3 hit points left, but the bad guy got away.
Not our best moments...

LOL! I really enjoying GMing that part.
Our high charisma outsider also ended engaging the other high charisma outsider in other than mortal combat. At least twice. But that wasn't infrequent for her xD
I really want to write down that part even if I don't think it was as crazy as yours.
We had fun dueling the Pirate Lady because the PCs didn't play fair. One of them wanted to summon Mad Monkeys to disarm her!

Quick reminder: The country with the tulips, windmills, and wooden shoes is The Netherlands. Not "Europe's Nether Regions".Clearly you haven't been to the red light district in Amsterdam then.
I used to know a guy that would go on for days about it at work. :-)
I will go there before I die.

The Cheese in Wisconsin
It grows ten feet tall
We all gather round
And have ourselves a ball.
The cold in Wisconsin
There's not a lot to do
But Wisconsin cheese
That's why we love you.

I cannot stand plasticky cheese. And since you mentioned spray cheese and I looked it up the idea abominates me a bit more each day. Give me real cheese or nothing! XD

Whipped cream in spray is also yucks to me. If I don't feel like whipping my own cream I'd rather not have it.

And I am early for job for once in my life.
No matter how hard I try I am always late everywhere. If supervisors have still not complained is because I get everything done very fast and I always leave later than my workmates. But I am playing with fire. I have to learn to be on time.

What I do is wait until the last minute to get into my car and spend 5 minutes choosing good music.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Before I started working for corporate America and I actually cared about my job I was never later then ten minutes early for work. In fact the one time I came in at the actual start time they called me up to make sure I was okay.
Now, I'll still get there the same time, except now I spend 15 minutes listening to music and twiddling on my phone. :-)
Like I tell my bosses whenever they ask why I do that; "you want me to show up on time, you can pay me a living wage"
So far, no dice (though they're getting closer). :-)

So, maybe it's my obsessive-compulsive nature, or maybe it was my parents, but I was always taught/under the impression, "Better an hour early than a minute late."
This is very true for job interviews, public transportation, and the like (NobodysWife's parking is $18 for the day at 8:59 am, or $30 for the day at 9:00 am). It's not nearly as important for day-to-day work, but yes, throughout my career, even when working in retail, I did my utmost to be at least 15 minutes early so I'd have time to "settle in" before I had to start work.
But yeah, my manager wouldn't care at all if my 6:30 am start time was sometimes 6:20, and sometimes 6;45. So it's more that *I* care than that my management cares...

And FYI, Paizo's site has been amazingly bad for the last 12+ hours: I could get to the messageboards, but not go into any thread.
Notice that there are *gasp* typos in my post about the Sunday game! That's just not like me, but I had no ability to edit the post after putting it up.

What I do, is check the bus schedules to see which buses get me there around the time I need to be there. Then I get one that runs sooner than that. And I adjust my daily schedule around that. Your mileage may vary.
I do that, too, but when I lived in San Jose, the bus only ran once an hour, so it wasn't really practical back then.

Found a brand new copy (at half price) of The Worldwound Incursion to replace my falling apart one (s+!*ty glue, how you vex me).
Of course now I know to prebend the covers so that sort of nonsense doesn't happen anymore (even with the notoriously s~&&ty glue on the first two Wrath Of The Righteous books).

Got up in the morning, went to work, spent eight hours there, returned home just past 3 pm, made myself a pot of tea and a bun with sausage, started Stellaris, and suddenly it was quarter to nine. After making and eating a dinner it's quarter past nine... I was supposed to go to bed at 9. *sigh*

Apparently Gal Gadot was a soldier in the Israeli army before becoming an actress.
What this means to me is that the fight scenes may not be quite as ridiculous as they usually are, because she is likely to give a damn even if the fight choreographer does not.

Brand new student started today, nine days before the end of term. And his first act in my classroom is to pull on the turtle tank until the whole thing comes crashing to the floor. Broken glass, pebbles, and water *everywhere*.
By some miracle, no one was hurt, even Stinky (bewildered and wanting to hide, but not hurt.)
I have *never* had this happen before.
Thank goodness we happened to have a spare tank in the attic.

What I learned today.
It is about as hard as I expected trying to find a secondhand men's belt that doesn't have a ten pound belt buckle featuring an eagle or Brett Favre looking longingly at a football while straddling Vince Lombardi's leg.
Which is to say, damn near impossible.

Clilling at a bus stop in San Jose. Dude in a suped up and lifted SUV covered in decals advertising a dojo of the fine art of bullshido comes out of a side street blaring aggressive fighting music (like, that blend of rock and rap who's name eludes me), almost hitting a bicyclist.
Now that's what I call douchebaggery.
