So, with Gary not being on FB, he won't be able to see this.

hi everyone,
today we drove down from The Dalles through the Oregon High Dessert, then to the Crater Lake National Park (it was awsome) then on the other side of the Cascades to Gants Pass ( it is a wierd, strange town, but the Inn is really good)
tomorrow: Redwoods!!!!
oh, and it seems like Sabine and me slowly get a addiction to Moutain Dew, good thing the stuff recently got introduced in Germany (with maybe 1/4 the caffeine)

A guest just came up to the desk and practically threw his keycards at me, saying "My keys don't open my door. Want to tell me why?" in a very surly tone. I really wanted to tell him to step back, take a deep breath, and try again in a less abrasive tone. Instead I just smiled, apologized, and remade his keys like I'm supposed to. Stupid customer service policy.

See as an unabashed evil person, if I were in your situation, I would start drinking lots of water. Then I would wait to see when these "hotel guests" leave to go out to eat or sight see or something. Immediately take my break and sneak up to there room, open their luggage AND TAKE A GIANT PEE RIGHT INTO THEIR CLOTHES!!!!! And if I had to take a dump, I'd do it into their toiletries bag. Then nonchalantly walk back to my desk :D
Edit: Now aren't you all thankful I don't work at a hotel :)

So, we went to bed at midnight and the girl dog started raising a ruckus. She does that. We yelled at her. Then both dogs started barking their 'get off my lawn' barks. We got up and looked out the windows to see if they were serious or just mad about the dog across the street being out.
This guy is wandering up and down the street at midnight with a big sheet of laminated paper or something in one hand and a knotted trash bag with what looks like a 32 oz can in the other. He looks at the paper and at each of the houses, and finally goes up to the vacant one across the street. Checks it out, heads around back. Puffin dresses and goes out to see what's up, when we hear a crash. I dialed 911 and Puffin went to confront the guy, who took off after they yelled a few choice words.
Now the street is full of cop cars, they took our statements, ladder, and a bunch of pictures. They've been searching the house and the yard all around it and, oddly, took pictures of the mailbox. A car just breezed through really fast and one of them took off after it.
This is way too exciting for 0130.

I live in brooklyn, and that sounds incredibly odd, even for here.

If there was a creepy dude running around my neighborhood at night, first thing I'd do is call the cops. Second thing I'd do is grab my Taurus in case he tried coming in my house. Either way, that's creepy/scary, because these days you never know what kind of psycho you could run into. Glad you two are safe Treppa.

now I'm worried about the zombie apocalypse - Aberzombie has the strength to attack prowlers with his CAR.

Ah no, in this case, the Taurus is a 5-shot .38 revolver loaded with hollow points. Zombie don't mess around.

Last night was also Kingmaker night for my group. The barbarian made the mistake of charging straight into the middle of the bandit camp, only to be ganked by Kressle and four of her minions jumping out of the bushes.
He lived, but only barely, because Kressle got whacked by Scint's Oracle's earth elemental then whacked herself in the head with a Crit Fumble card.

That's great I might have to start using the critical decks, I know I have one player that would love it.

Just like he made me buy the last hardcopy of Book of Drakes. He gave me sad badger eyes! Like puppy dog eyes, but with more frothing at the mouth violence.
Hey, Intimidate rolls can be just as effective as Diplomacy rolls in certain situations. :)
Thanks for buying the book, by the way! Plus, the cards will come in handy for your games. So, you made some good purchases.

They've been great fun and provided tons of RP opportunities. In my Savage Tide game I stuck a side-quest of a dungeon full of Shadar-Kai on the Isle of Dread, and while there the dual-scimitar-swinging warblade drew the "lacerated hand" crit card, effectively ruining the hand of one of the Shadar leaders. It led to a cease-fire and surrender, which eventually led to an alliance with the group and a cadre of Shadar-Kai warriors fighting for Farshore in the Big Damn Fight.
In Kingmaker it's mostly just provided opportunities for the group to look awesome (though I don't think the Magus has managed a crit yet, despite also using a scimitar), except when the Oracle critted on an eldritch bolt
