(1) Nothing much happened, since the site was down for what? 12 hours or so?
(2) Well, I worked my tail off Monday, Tuesday, and this morning, knowing that I had four major projects to get done this week before my 2-week vacation. I have three of them done, putting me a full half-day ahead of schedule.
But rather than thinking, "Woo hoo! Early Friday!", I'm thinking, "Oh, Gods, what horrors are going to happen on this fourth project to make me work overtime going into the weekend?"
NobodysHome, pessimist extraordinaire!

What I've been up to: Last night I helped playtest an adventure for Mrs Sunrise's coven.

...D&D does lead to sex, drugs, and witchcraft!!!
Mrs Sunrise's coven is very participatory, at least on holidays. There's always a ritual; but before the ritual proper, there's always some kind of fun thematic thing to do. Usually it's something crafty, like making candles or tree ornaments; but it can be anything participatory. Like an rpg adventure.
The member high-priesting this Saturday's Lughnasadh decided to GM an adventure as the pre-ritual fun thing. But she's never GMed (or played, I think) anything before. So she came over, and Mrs Sunrise and I playtested her adventure over dinner.
*Pronounced Loo-nasah
Which is only D&D in the sense that any TTRPG is 'D&D.' But it involved a Scarecrow Army, which was pretty cool.

Huh…
Well that's one way of getting into TTRPGs, you don't hear about often. Then again I have no idea what your average coven does on ritual days/nights, so maybe its common enough.Sounds interesting though.
Though, I feel slightly bummed out about the lack of nude-forest-clearing-frolicking and shroom-munching…
;P
Paizo was down so I busied myself preparing book 2 of iron fang invasion. All done except putting fog of war.
*Pets Mort, and give her a nuzzle between the ears*
Busy as usual, I see ^^

Too much work makes everyone pessimistic.
I'm mildly grouchy myself that I didn't get my PBP dose yesterday because the site was down.

No idea, but its a fair guess.
I'm kind of the opposite…not really that good at keep myself on task, so I end up half-assing a lot of things. On the positive side it does make you generally better at half-assing things ^^'
Just watch out for yourself Mort, take a rest once in while, pace yourself and make yourself feel nice and relaxed.
*Gives Mort a back-scratch*
Though, everything tells me you've already got (most) things well in hand.
*Yawns*
Its sleepy time me thinks.
Nighty Night Y'all

Yes I should have got it all covered. That way I can concentrate more on running the PBP.I'm all about preparation and planning.
*nuzzles Kjeldorn*
CY -you managed to meet Freehold? How'd you get him discord?

No, I met Vany. If I met Captain Yesterday, I would have talked him into building me a y wing. With hydraulics so I can pimp my ride, old school.
I'm going to need more cardboard tubes for the hydraulics, and probably some duct tape and streamers.
And stickers! You can't build anything without stickers.

So. Bike was just stolen. Locks clipped. Filing police report.
Gods. That suuuuuuuucks!
It's changed amazingly around here since my childhood. I had a friend who had SIX bikes stolen from El Cerrito Plaza alone; all locked. When I was a kid, parking your bike anywhere except the school bike rack was a practical guarantee of losing it.
These days kids don't even lock their bikes any more, and just leave 'em lying around everywhere. I don't know a kid who's had a bike stolen, other than Impus Major having his tricycle stolen 14 years ago.
Yes, I am indeed an old man talking about how crime in my town has improved since I was a kid.
You can spit out your drinks now.

Apparently some covens are into ritual sex, but Mrs Sunrise's is very conventional. So sexy stuff is purely metaphorical, like dancing around the maypole at Beltane.
And some bawdy joking, but that's just people.

Sad to hear about your bike, Freehold. Had that happen, myself, many years ago.
*Loved* that bike -- a 1998 Marin Hawk Hill: chrome-moly frame, rapid-fire Shimano components, front shocks (which was *wildly* new to me, at the time, despite several years' offroading on ye olden Huffy), etc., etc., etc.
. . . but that was just for fun and getting around the college campus. Losing the primary ride for employment? Would have been much tougher to take.
Sympathies, chief. :(

If it helps I just tried jamming a ten dollar bill into a chip reader at the self checkout and then as I was leaving saw a big burly dude with a man bun and poodle service dog wearing a big pink bow and matching diaper.
Did anybody else read this as the big burly dude wearing the big pink bow and matching diaper?
