For funsies, there was a day I was rushing to the telco shop and was wearing a pink dress. I took out my office shoes put on my track shoes out of my gym bag(full attire change would take too long), and started running. I'm sure I looked fairly ridiculous, but hey I managed to get to the telco shop, do my business then got back in time to catch gym class ^^
Why yes, it is snowing, we should get about 5 inches. No idea when I'm going out yet.
I got a job as a security job and my boss said it was my responsibility to watch the office. I'm on season 6 now, and I'm still not sure what it has to do with security.
Did you learn nothing about preventing bear attacks!!
Micheal!!!
I too, do not care for the office. Due to work, Dwight comes across as extremely unfunny to me.

I introduced the preschoolers to the joys of paper airplanes. They don't have the dexterity to make their own, but they loved coloring and throwing and taking them home. Such a joy to see them experience something new.
I noticed this is the least judgmental place I've ever lived. Mid 30s guy with a big beard and many visible tattoos working at a Christian school and nobody has complained about my look. My dog has clear pitt features from being a mutt and nobody cowers from him. My girlfriend is open about her disabilities with people and they seem to understand and care.
People are nice. It's refreshing.

We start at 5 pm which means I should get off work just as the sun rises.
Just like Gandalf.

The English Sidesword Open is done for another year. I didn't win anything, but I had a ton of great fights with some really high-level fencers, and you learn a lot when you get beaten by someone very, very good. The classes were fun, too, even though I missed the one about Spanish swordplay in the 1500s as I was in a tournament.
I had Szechuan spicy beef in a tiny Chinese restaurant after that. Was it ever spicy... Wow.
Now it's time to see whether the Roll20 app will work or not so I can join in on our Pathfinder game...
I love The Office, with Steve Carrell, not so much without him.
I say that having never worked in an office.
So. Today was the memorial for my dad.
I keep learning more about the man. He was a lot more complex than I thought originally, but also so very simple. I was also with all of my siblings for the first time in a long, long time.
I just saw all of our signatures on a document for the proceedings. My first time seeing all of our names together.
Oh man.
*Offers back pats and man-hugs*
Very few people are black or white characters pulled out of some piece of media. Most people are, well, people...with strengths and flaws, likes and dislikes and feelings or urges we might not share.
Its just a shame that we often have to learn about these complexities after a person have passed away.
*Nods vigorously and wipes away his nosebleed*
I think I know why Woran didn't mind the teenaged boy walking into a tree. It's sort of fun, isn't it?
*raises eyebrows up and down in amusement*
Yet another example which shows that certain Kitty does indeed have a sense of humour.
:p*Returns eyebrow waggle and sends Mort scratches and nuzzles*
I'm sort of..semi-flatfooted. I have a low arch and the last time I tried using arch cushions they felt uncomfortable to me.
My feet are weird.
They are very arched (only really my toes/front pad and heel touching the ground) and they are pretty wide compared to their length…Which is pretty annoying when buy shoes, as I kind of have to find specific show-shapes to fit them comfortably.
... My office pants? They're so flexible I can, and have done yoga in them. Needless to say I would be able to give you a good kick to the stomach if I wanted to while wearing them. I don't think I can actually hit your chest level due to me being a lil bit.
I pretty much dress for comfort even in office gear.
Comfy (roomy, with a bit of stretch) pants are the best pants!
So, in other news, at the start of this week, I was sitting in the nap room at school in the afternoon, bored, and took out my lesson-planning notebook (because it was what I had), and started writing.
Decided after twenty-two years to completely scrap the novel I was sick to death of not writing, because I had never really given a crap about the protagonist, and started over with something new.
And at the end of the first week, have discovered that I have 5,000 words written.
For the first time in my life, I'm not sitting staring at a blank page, hating myself. I'm getting words down and actually enjoying it.
My goal is to get a big enough chunk of the rough draft bunged out by the end of term that while I'm on break for the summer (best thing ever, splitting ten months of work into 24 equal installments so I don't have to worry about funds over June and July) I can set down to work in earnest and really flesh it out.
And I've started my research, which is funny, because it's already beginning to cause a disruption in the kind of ads I'm seeing online, for things that I will never ever buy.
And, for personal accountability, I've told Hermione, who knows that it's our secret, and she is allowed once at the end of every school day to ask, "Mama, did you get your work done?" and give me a conspiratorial smile, which she enjoys.
Nice to hear you feel the creative juices running again LM.
Don't really think I've got it in me to write novel. I never really had much drive, focus, willpower, the ability to concentrate to finish anything longer the a (very) short story, ye old adventure or the occasional piece of...err...peculiar smut-fiction (mostly to get get my own juices running ^^').
*looks embarrassed*
Hi, everyone. Just got done with this month's Tekko general staff meeting.
*Waves to John*

Scribe servilis, a petty fiendish scribe that might reluctantly serve you, if you threaten (or bribe) it into service. Or if you are a powerful fiend.
Seriously, Strange Aeons?!?!?!?!!?
Yep. Yet another AP author where there are two groups of bad guys in adjoining rooms and they're written up as if they couldn't possibly hear the combat in the next room through the wooden door to come help.
I'd thought GMs had done away with, "Every monster waits politely in its room until the PCs open the door to that room" back in the 70s.
In the APs, apparently not.

sound and combat are always a hard thing to adjucate in dungeons. I had overzealous players wanting to go to actual stone castles in upstate New York to prove sound travelled different there.

Oh, I'm fine if it's a couple of walls, or even through an empty room, but this is quite literally one group of monsters in a room that is subcontained in a room with another group of monsters. Very much like my house: My living room and dining room are one large room, with two shared walls between them and our bedroom, plus a door into the bedroom.
The notion that people could have armed combat in my living room and I wouldn't hear it in the bedroom is ridiculous.

I'm obsessive-compulsive, and even *I* don't keep copies of every level of every PC I ever run.
FFS, author! Give me some warning!

Looks like we're supposed to get another several inches of snow Tuesday night into Wednesday, in addition to the five inches we're getting today.
It's a good thing we have more than a month left of winter.

So apparently I've had dark marks under my eyes since my teenage days, and recently they've gotten worse. Are they just genetic, or is stress making my gloomy face gloomier?

Then later you get players complaining it isn't CR appropriate because you put 2 encounters together. But really, some encounters shouldn't be mixed. If fighting in a complex, it isn't fair(even though its realistic) to dump every creature on them as they fight, since there's no real way they can mask the sounds of combat.

It wouldn't happen to me because if you want me to say the pledge, I will, whether I care about what it's saying or not. I don't rock da boat.

** spoiler omitted **
That's why I always try to read at least a book ahead so I don't get caught flat footed. Sometimes even two...talk about crazy prepared GMs. The mirror match did pique my interest but in the end I just did the animated dream route, since after most of the people left its a little hard to mirror match, besides that solo gestalt syn has such high AC that nothing would be able to hit his normal AC.

Yeah they are doing some maintenance I think.
I was being facetious about the heels. I just have always heard they hurt your feet from women so I assumed they would hurt mine as well. I don't think they make heels that my big feet would fit in without being specially made.
Flats forever! Or at least I havent found a way to run in heels without the heels falling out...
Sure, I can run in heels. If I wish to damage them, that is.
My feet are weird. I need solid flat heeled shoes to not get into trouble and joint pain.

I need heavy arch support. I have a deep arch. My feet die in Converse style shoes..Yeah they are doing some maintenance I think.

So far Ive found the houses in the USA to be increadibly thin walled. I can easily hear conversations in other rooms clear as day.
Back home however, I can breadly hear MrT when he sings loud songs in the bathroom, and I'm in the game room, which share a wall.
Anyone play any of the new legacy-type board games? We bought one last month, played our second game of it last night, and came away very frustrated and overwhelmed.
I think we would have done better playing on a weekly basis rather than waiting a month between the first and second games, but I'm curious about others' experiences with this kind of game.

Sitting here in the medical checkup room waiting for the doctor to talk to me about the results of the ECG.
Also hoping I get poo so I don't need to come back some other day to deliver the poo sample.
But after 10 hours of fasting, what poo sample were you expecting to see? Though maybe I should have brought along an orange to munch instead of a kiwi and a bunch of grapes...

Eh that didn't take very long. 2 bowls of green bean soup, a chicken pizza sandwich, a kiwi, a glass of skim milk and 32 grapes later a nice banana shaped poo is out ready for collection. I think them offering green bean soup as part of the breakfast spread was a great idea.
I put in the comments box that they should offer fresh fruits as well.
After last year's unable to poo and had to return another day, my take on this years medical check up was to bring 32 grapes and a kiwi to munch after the blood test. Guess it paid off ^^
No, I'm not eating lunch. That was both my breakfast and lunch.

Con of the North is done. People are cleaning up the last bits of the room. We're leaving with a big group to get sushi in a bit. After con dinner! Whoohooo!
Its been amazing. Luckily we get to hang around and to the touristy thing for a few days.
Wish I could have gone up there to meet up with you, but Aiymi and Zelda had different things planned for my time.
No, not that.
Sheesh.
No, Aiymi had an ER visit because she failed to take 10 on eating (she's fine), and Zelda had me helping her with cleaning out her storage unit. She's hoping to be rid of it by the end of the month.
