You don't want the D&D scare of the 80s to resurface again and it all to be her fault again, do you?!If only we could be living in those simple minded times now where our nation's greatest worry was being mind melded to a dice game.
almost as bad as my mind being melded to your nudity

Eh, in case of most of those ladies I like their left hand picture. Only two cases involve significant improvement and another two actually I like more on their left picture than on the right one. The rest looks good on both, though in different ways.
Disclaimer: I might have different opinion live, with different lightning, different photos, etc.

So: next two TKD classes complete!
I somehow managed to pass yellow, green, red, brown (faked it*), and blue tapes.
I'm still sick, but in far better health than last week, and being careful to tend my reserves of health energy rather than kill myself; the better to facilitate my recovery rather than get worse. It helps to have an understanding master.
Either way, it's great to be learning again! Hopefully I'll kick this thing soon and be able to do full genuine exercise routines again. In the meantime, I'll settle for scaring small children and/or being the guy they want to be as strong as some day (at least of their whispers are any indication - I'm pretty suernatural should set their sight higher, though - that's one of the reasons I keep trying to encourage the other parents to join...). :)

Gratz Tacticslion. I do hope that you feel better soon. Having said that, I would be too much of a whimp to do that while sick.

So, TL...
...you took the yellow, green, red, brown, and blue tests all within a week or two?
Even at my uber-competitive school, we just let people come in and say (for example), "I was a green belt at my old place," and we'd say, "OK, here's our green belt test. Let us know when you're ready to take it."
They'd take ONE test to place them properly and be done with it.
Taking five tests in under 2 weeks is just brutal... especially when sick!

More news from the world of NobodysHome:
It means they have to get themselves some AC, THAT'S what it means!!!
(OK. Slightly unfair. They managed to get themselves ridiculously poisoned, failed a multitude of Fortitude saves, and the whole, "You need to make a Caster Level check for Remove Poison to work" is just The Suck. So lots of uses of Lesser Restoration, three Remove Poisons, and a couple of Shield of Faiths to get their ACs up. But otherwise healing, healing healing...)

I have a blue belt, got it at Target.
Only test I had to take was having the patience to not use the cashier that looks like a serial killer.

I think I have miscommunication something significant.
Tape, not belt. I am still a white belt.
The tape tests are small tests that demonstrate very minor competencies within a give belt's broader competency range.
The tapes have so far included:
- yellow: basic punch, double, triple, and several other hand moves and combination blocks
- green: for the youngest kids some blocks and punches; for the older kids (and me) a basic H form of punches with low block turns
- red: two different combination sets of kicks
- brown: severel korean terms and a greeting in Korean (hence struggling with dyslexia)
- blue: breaking boards with hands and feet
I was once a green belt. That was twenty years (at least) and three martial arts styles ago. I am not a green belt any more. If he had offered me that, I would have requested a white belt to work my way up again.
I am not ready to take any test related to any belt of any color - even yellow.
Thanks for thinking that well of me, but no.
And a tape is exactly what it sounds like: a piece of tape attached to your belt of a particular color.
For the curious, even if my son passes all his tapes he's young enough that he'll likely get a white belt with a yellow stripe instead of a "true" yellow belt. I'd likely move on to a yellow belt. But this is not that day. :)
So Black Butler is an anime series on Netflix. I have seen the first episode. Huh.

So, here we go: Blue Apron review time!
I found it perfectly palatable; the kind of stuff you wouldn't mind paying $8 for at a restaurant. Considering that's what I paid, it's a decent bargain. Other than the "having to cook it myself" part. NobodysWife thought it was very good, and Impus Minor declared it "awesome" and figures that cooking food yourself makes it taste better. Considering one of my two goals in this experiment was to get Impus Minor to expand his food repertoire, mission accomplished! (He also asked whether we could do Blue Apron every single day, so the goal to get the kids cooking was also a resounding success!)
Impus Major was more like me: "It's perfectly OK."
All in all, all four of us gave Blue Apron a HUGE thumbs-up. I appreciated achieving both my goals: Kids cooking and Impus Minor eating something different. Impus Minor loved the food. NobodysWife liked the food quite a bit more than I did, and loved seeing how happy and excited the kids were to present her with a meal that they helped cook. Impus Major had all kinds of fun cooking the sauce (Impus Minor's a bit inexperienced to be left alone at the stovetop... yet...)
Anyway, good family kitchen evening! We win!

Awesomely enough, I can time when the equinoxes are by when our dog switches from sleeping on the floor by the window (spring) and sleeping on our feet on the bed (fall).
Like to the day, absolutely fascinating!

I have a green, brown and white belt on, which qualifies me to have trousers that are not in a puddle around my ankles.
I'm sure that counts as a martial art in some cultures.

He's up and around, playing Minecraft right now, might've just been over tired, little guy had a fever overnight, still seems warm.
It's hard to tell with him.
Also if you tell him he isn't feeling well he'll deny it with every fiber of his being.
I have no idea where he gets that from...

Ahem.
I had nothing to do with that. Seriously. The fever, I mean.
May he Minecraft his way to health rapidly.
And, yes, he does take after his father a bit. :)
A beautiful day for a beautiful lady.

NASA was approved an $19.5 Billion Dollar Budget, in part to send a manned expedition to Mars.
If you encounter some detractors of how that money could be used here rather than to further the space program, you can kindly and eloquently offer this rebuttal.
NASA's still getting funding? Yay!

Little dude is fighting it off, chicken noodle soup and crackers for lunch, had yogurt for breakfast, and he's always super good at drinking water.
He's chilling and watching Mighty Machines. :-)
Still hasn't admitted to not feeling well. "I'm just tired" is his go to response.
No idea where he gets that from...

Tiny T-Rex (after I hand him anything to eat): is there medicine in this.
Me: No, of course not.
Tiny T-Rex: Because, you know I can tell, right, you're not pulling anything over me.
He then eyes me suspiciously as he takes a tiny bite first, just to be sure.

How well did Blue Apron work?
This afternoon, on getting home:
Impus Minor: Dad, I've decided that I want to start eating healthier. And even though I don't like apples, I love matchstick apples. Would you make some matchstick apples for me?
Happy, happy NobodysHome.

Had two Swedish pancakes that came out looking like animals.
We've dubbed them "The Contemplative Cow" and "The Melancholy Camel"
I'll try to get pictures of them up tomorrow. :-)

Second session of Chronicles Of Darkness: City Of Mists finished. The protagonists have learned a few new facts, some more not quite useful info, chased an irrelevant detail with great passion, and moved the clock by half a day (compared to almost 24 hours that passed on the first session). The next session will be after two weeks. *sigh*
Also, the characters finally have characters sheets and stats so we can make dice rolls.

You're telling me, in all those years, I could have taken this for college credits?
This isn't a very good college course. The obvious bias of the professor and/or require materials shows through...
