Kicked myself into working on writing up some of my homebrew setting's history last night. Got six pages written on the first of the major kingdoms in the setting, and only got through the first couple of millenniums of its history. Still about ~4000 years of history between the point I left off for the night and the time at which my Kingmaker game is set.
Thankfully the history of this particular region isn't too horribly influential on the currently-running game, though I do have a campaign planned later set primarily within it (War of the Burning Sky).

So. Yesterday was a renaissance fair up in the cloisters gor one of the players in the darklight sisterhood game's birthday. As I had never been to the cloisters before, I was excited to go.
Noone told me this was the highest point in Manhattan (which has a small mountain chain running through it).
Noone told me that there are two ways to get to the cloisters (the steep winding path or the sharp angled stairs).
Noone told me it was almost a mile walk from the station.
Noone told me I'd bein this much pain the day after.Will post pics later.
I didn't know they did a ren faire there. I've been meaning to check out the cloisters. Now I know it will be a rough ascent!

I find hot dogs are always so expensive and not filling. Although some nice bangers and mash, or Yorkshire Puds & sausages are great.
5 words too much. *sigh*
The best hot dogs are the ones you eat with a piece of very soft and airy bread during the halftime of soccer matches.
I've never gotten any IKEA-related blisters. :p

the metal bars that were to be instlaled on the bed required these screws to attach them to the bed frame.
The holes in the metal bars were not big enough to accomodate the screws. I had to apply upward and downward pressure on the bars to hold them stable while putting enough downward pressure on them to punch through the metal with main force. It took me about 15-20 minutes per screw to apply enough force to bend the metal around the hole in the metal bar to allow the screw to be screwed in.
it was REALLY annoying.

Only if your team is winning :P
If they're losing, it's good comfort food.
Eating now. Final submission later.
Argh. Messageboards aren't letting me put finishing touches on character for jess doors play by post.

I've finally got my class sorted and that leads onto more of the crunch. :)

Every IKEA purchase I ever made?Curse you, longboat! This IKEA bookcase took me forever to assemble, and I have a blood blister!If you moved to Texas, I would put them together for you.
Yeah, but then he'd still have to be living in New York. :)

Final submission finished and sent. And no, I didn't get to write non-bestiary submission... Maybe next time.

In my case, I was using that little tool which aspires to be an Allen wrench. It needed a whole lot of force to turn the screw, but there was just no way to get enough leverage on a 2-inch hex key, so I had to grab the thing with needle-nosed pliers and turn it that way. At one point, my pliers slipped and pinched my finger. Hence, the blood blister.

I looked up the one FHDM was talking about. It is only 1 day, but apparently it gets like 50,000 people. That's a damn big ren faire.
There's one upstate that runs for a longer time though, that I'd like to check out next year.

the upstate one is nice, but has fewer bathrooms and more drunk people. It's also a ways away.
Yeah, but you still get that same problem - New York.

don't hate on us because were beautiful. Hate us because our faire is bigger and we pronounce "houston" correctly.
..... and more drunk people.Huzzah!
you might enjoy that actually, the brotherhood winery makes the best mead I've ever tasted.

Seven hours of sleep is definitely not enough for me... Especially with four or five wake-ups in between.
At least during one wake-up I had an idea for mechanical solution for magitech armor mechanics in PF.
Going off to participate in some EEG research... They will be measuring my brain activity!

Hope it's one of those paying studies. But even if not, have fun.
And hello everyone on this second day of the week.

Fixed that "bigger" error of yours.
Also, if by pronouncing Houston correctly, you mean it's full title of Houston, Most Awesomest City in the World! Then I applaud your efforts to finally admit the truth.
;)
Is Houston pronounced like Fewston reservoir?
And half as beautiful under the soft moonlight that reflects over it's acreage? :P
Houston (Texas) Is pronounced "HEW-Stun"
Houston in New York is pronounced "HOW-Stun"
And, If I had it explained to me correctly, is also where they get 'SoHo' from (SOuth of HOuston)
:)
(Apologies to any english teachers. I don't do phonetics.) ;P

the lower pronunciation is correct.
don't hate on us because were beautiful. Hate us because our faire is more crowded which results in more profits all around for vendors and lower prices for attendees and we pronounce "houston" correctly.Yeah, but you still get that same problem - New York.

I think that hippie you ate is kicking in.

Yes a bit.
Well, actually it is a bit for which I regularly eat for a week. Or a single decent but not extravagant dinner at restaurant.
