Have fun and don't overindulge on brains.
May get to see my brother today.

It's a lovely day here. Our closing has been moved back to 8/14 because of court stuff, but it's survived inspection and the buyers are paying cash, so we're hoping for no more delays. Then we head for the hills!
We got our hair cut in preparation for interviews. I look fabulous! ;D

Yay for happy grandparents and happy future grandparents.

Eine kleine Zwerg will machen seine Familie glucklich.
Or something like that...
I am almost sure I had mixed tenses and conjugated badly.

So no change then :)
Although new looks are good.
So hot... Ugh.
And I will go to see friends and eat homemade sushi with them. Assuming I am not faint somewhere on my way.
But now I have to go wrangle the child and help mommy pack up before we meet a bunch of folk for breakfast.
Sounds lovely and I hope the party last night was excellent.
Sooooo warm. And humid. Might be time to find a goat and do an offering to Thor.
Annnd it seems talking about it was enough to summon a frickin' halfways-to-a-hurricane stormfront.

We've been teaching our two dogs, Sophie and Shadow, obedience using the "Train Your Dog with Lil Jon and the Ying Yang Twins" DVD. Let's see how it's worked out so far, ranking success from 0 to 5.
This command does nothing but baffle both of them, though Sophie occasionally jumps on us in excitement. This could loosely be construed as 'socking it to me', particularly when 'me' is male. She has great aim and has put more than one a$$ on the floor. Failure, but not absolute. (1/5)
When accompanied by a fist to the floor, the dogs do in fact 'get low' with bellies (as well as a$$e$) on the floor (this works best if the fist contains food). They do not, however, follow this direction without accompanying manual signals. Partial credit. (3/5)
(oh) (yeah!): Stop! is perfect. Whenever we yell it, they immediately stop and stand still, wagging furiously. The wag gives them a hellacious wiggle. Full credit. (5/5)
Incredibly successful. Both of them, even the dumb one, back up obediently. It's not like they turn and walk away, either. They. back. up. It's amazing. Full marks. (5/5)
Screaming 'watch out!' at the dogs causes them to stop and look around in confusion, ears pricked, showing their high level of alertness. Seems like watching out to me. We'll give them full credit on this one, too.(5/5)
Get krunk in the club The club doesn't allow dogs so we can't try this command. I bet they'd let pit bulls in. Omitted.
This has the same response as watch out!. But since it's not really a command, I'm not giving them credit nor taking any away. We just like to randomly scream at the dogs so they know who's boss.(0/0)
The training program has another command, but we're not teaching it because it's gender specific and seems to entail a lot of cleanup. Ew. All in all, they get 23/25, or 92%, an A. We do recommend Lil Jon and the Ying Yang Twins' Dog Training DVD. Dog yelling is a lot more fun than dog whispering, and we look all look awesome in the owner/pet matching gold teeth.

Hot but not so humid. Might get rainy in a few days.
I am back, gorged on homemade sushi.
Yay Drejk, and ne of the longest times without a post in FaWtL!
But it's a new week and new posts to go.
Tomorrow is D&D game, last night we finished a quest in my AD&D game. And Thursday we continue our film-noir game.
Same scheduling for me. Tonight we finish a chapter-break dungeon in Kingmaker, Thursday we start Ebon's one-month one-shot.

Good morning FAWTLY Folk! Happy Monday! Back in Texas with the wife and boy. The drive was somewhat blargity. Hit a lot of rain starting just before we crossed into Texas. And the boy stayed awake the entire drive. So he was excited about the new house, but bummed that no one else was there and a bit too cranky to go out and eat. Which sucked because I wanted to show the wife around a bit.

Woke up early. Plans for walk stymied by rain. Opted to try for 20 more minutes of sleep. Two hours ago. Whoops.
Last couple of weeks I've frankly welcomed what bit of rain we've had. Only time of the day it's been possible to go outside.

With luck, I'll be starting my second Kingmaker campaign next week.
The party we've gathered up is a rather interesting one. Then again, so was the previous one.

So...Space City con is this weekend.
And I...have volunteered...to run 20 hours of games.
Why yes...yes I am a masochist.
If that one guy that spent twelve hours unable to talk to me at Comicpalooza last year shows up, I will not be able to avoid yelling at him, I fear.
I ran three scenarios last year, part 1, 2 and (shockingly!) 3...this same guy was at all three. Not only did he already reek across the table at the first game (and yes, it always goes downhill from there), but he literally could not speak to me the entire session. Everytime I asked him a question, he could do nothing but giggle helplessly. The only word he managed to me the entire 4 hour session was "*giggle* yeah *giggle*". ditto part 2. And part 3. I left the con early rather than volunteer to run a 5th game when I saw him walk into the gaming room that Sunday.

Yikes.
But yeah, there's a point where you have to stop being understanding. Here's hoping for a no-encounter this year. (Or that he's learned basic hygiene and overcome his awkwardness and turned into an absolute charmer to everyone around him.)
hi everyone,
we are back home, save and sound
Hooray!

on our way back we visited the Wartburg
maybe the most important castle in germany (and UNESCO world heritage)
the history of the place is fascinating, it includes a holy Lady, a mage appearing from thin air to make an important prophecy, Martin Luther translating the Bible and fighting the devil with an ink bottle, a war of minstrels. Parcival and the holy grail, Franz List, Richard Wagner, Goethe, bread transformed into roses, the start of revolution, the german national flag, the backside of our cent (and former Pfenning) coins, student fraternitiys, a GDR car, Emporer Wilhelm II, Emporer Friedrich II, 101 miracles.......
I will post pics soon
Woooow.

Grrr,...
Ethics training s#cks.
Not only have I wasted an hour of my life I will never get back, I have Definitive PROOF that states in general, (And Louisiana in particular) are dumber than any individual could possibly be.
They have rules about what you can and not accept, if at all,
Then they have exceptions to those rules,
Then there are the exceptions to the exceptions.
The only way to be safe if you work for the state in ANY capacity, is to NEVER take anything from anybody, or do anything except your job.
And half the time you'll probably still get in trouble. ;P
Excuse me, I'm gonna go crawl back in my cave now. I'm sure posting on the internet violates something in the code of ethics somewhere,... ;P
