"The problem with calling the creature 'Frankenstein' is that it means Victor accepted him. He doesn't."
"Got it. So do we call Victor Dr. Frankenstein, then?"
"No, we call him College Dropout Frankenstein. Dr Pepper has more claim to the title."
So...they thought I was serious and turned in a paper with the phrase "When College dropout Frankenstein brought the Creature to life," and I almost choked.

If only you had claimed that Victor's college was basically a glorified beauty school, from which he dropped out, you could have had them reenact part of Grease (with Igor harmonizing on the "Go back to high school").

I genuinely thought it said horny golem.
I was excited for a moment.
Just wait until she feels my soft, delicate hands. Then you'll get your horny golem!

Game night tonight.
My dogs are Pavlovianly conditioned to freak the f@!# out with joy at the sight of battle mats and dice. Like, bouncing off the walls shrieking. "NERDS! THE NERDS ARE COMING! WE LOVE THE NERDS! GIVE US NERDS!"
This can go on for an hour or more, if I have to set up early before finishing other stuff.

THE POWER OF CHEESE IS WITH ME!
After multiple attempts to kill Promised Consort Radahan, initially with spells, then by blocking with shield and poking with a rapier, I finally went full in into cheese options, re-speced to have tons of Endurance (he was overwhelming my Stamina with his relentless assault) and proceeded to poke him to death with a significant help from Mimic summon (normally I don't use it because as sorcerer I need a tank and not a half-assed magician with AI that can't really handle spellcasting, but after respec into an Endurance-turtle, it handled throwing hefty rot pots and triggering scarlet rot on Radahn quite well).
That means I am sadly too close to the end of game, with only Godfrey and Radagon/Elden Beast standing before me...
Now, back to Rennala to respec back into something more suitable...

And the Beast is done...
Time to bring the Age Of Stars!
The unexpected star of the winning fight was... Loretta's mastery its superb range allowing me to hit the constantly retreating Elden Bastard from far away.
It was Hell-of-a-ride... Great and terrible. Challenging and tedious.
It seems that I need to start setting aside money for Sekiro. And Ghost of Tsushima. And Rise Of Ronin (which apparently hit the Steam finally available for PC... and immediately hit Mixed reviews because of performance issues...)

After a short foray into a NG+, I finally uninstalled Elden Ring...
It was my constant companion for almost four months now, with over 300 hours of gameplay.
I was definitely overleveled for the beginning of the NG+, killing the gargoyle guardian of bestial sanctum on a whim, followed by easily cheesing the great dragon on the bridge with Radahn's bow - it melted faster than when I cheesed it on my warrior. I was able to take on Margit easily, the first magma wyrm gave me a bit more challenge becuse of the close quarters, and my insistence of using a melee weapon instead of blasting it with magic. I got bored on the scaffolding of the Stormveil Castle...
In the hindsight, I forgot about completing one, rot-filled dungeon that I planned to do near the end abusing rot-healing spell, forgot before starting a new game plus, planned to do in NG+, and forgot before uninstalling.
Ah, well, maybe another time, if there will be another time.
I will need to find something to fill the hole that it left, at least once I finish (or give up, but finishing is more likely at this point) Dark Souls III.

At work, we have a "market" by the desk where we sell snacks, drinks, and such. We have a small freezer with microwavable meals and ice cream. Some genius put a can of soda in the freezer at some point today, and about 5 minutes into my shift it exploded all over. So, that was "fun".
That is how cans of soda enjoy themselves, going out in a blaze of gloreeeee.

It's local election time, and I got my ballot in the mail today. Let me tell you, it's a doozy. There are 7 positions to vote for. 3 of them say "Vote for 1" and have only 1 candidate each. 2 say "Vote for 2" and have 2 candidates each. One says "Vote for 2" and has only 1 candidate. And 1 says "Vote for 1" and has no candidates.
So many choices, how will I ever decide?

WTF, man. Come in to work, 2nd shift says "Slow day, not very busy. I didn't quite finish the laundry, but there's a load in the dryer that's almost done and then the stuff in the washer needs dried. Everything else just needs folded." I'm thinking "OK, why didn't you fold anything? After all, that is part of your job. But whatever." So I fold the stuff in the dryer, move the washer over to the dryer, and start folding the mounds of s*$! she left for me. I get down to the last 2 loads worth, and THEY HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN F~#+ING WASHED!! Like, clearly still dirty. So not only did she not do her job, but she straight lied to my face about it. And now I'm in an even crappier mood while waiting having to do even more of her job for her.

One of the things I'll do to indicate to people that I'm not quite awake and need coffee is say "Braaaaiiiiiins...." Because I can be walking well before I'm ready for conversation.
This freaked the heck out of an EMT who had to deal with a semi conscious Wolf
To wake a wolf is as bad as smell a fox...
