Or at least until I maybe get some Popeyes.

Very good idea. It sounds like it would be tasty.

Mmmmmm......Popeyes.

Scarab Sages

Well, at least it looks like I'm not the only one BP is yanking around.


Unfortunately I've never had it before, I think the only place you can get it is upon US bases. Although I wouldn't be too surprised if they had 1 restaurant in Lon-don.

They're still a bunch of douchebags.

Gotta go it seems.

I know all about hidden complex sigils. Hit me.


Got the new laptop set up last night. Downloaded the necessities - Firefox, Classic Shell, Google Drive, GIMP, Picture Gallery (don't much care for Win8's default image viewer), WinAmp, and Skype - then plugged in the must-have add-ons and plugins for Firefox (Lazarus, Greasemonkey, NoScript, etc.).

Just waiting now for Drive to finish syncing up; that's what I'm using to transfer everything over from old comp to new comp. After that will download Steam to get my games back, start reassembling my Favorites in Firefox (lost them completely sadly, the wonkiness on the old comp keeps resetting Firefox to fresh install, and I can't find the old favorites hiding anywhere), and so forth. And from there it'll just be - hopefully - adjusting small things I find as I go. Like manually assigning music files to use WinAmp rather than Media Player: Win8 won't give me the option to set WinAmp as default for them as a whole, because for some reason WinAmp doesn't show up on the "set default programs" list and there's no way to manually add programs to that list. So I'll have to set files to use WinAmp by default as I find/use them.

Would be slightly less frustrating if Win8 would stop trying to help. It keeps wanting to pop up and recommend this or that program, and generally doesn't come with a "no" button, you have to hit Escape or Windows Key to bounce back to the desktop. And I haven't yet found the "stop helping me" setting.


Yay! Starting next March my work-hours will increase by close to 50%, and I'll have a new route about a kilometer closer to home.

In fact, if I do it correctly, I'll be able to be home 1 or 2 minutes after I drop the last paper in someone's mailbox. :D

Heyas FAWTLy gents and lasses...
My grandfather is in the VA hospital slowly succumbing to old age. I ask that ya'll pray for, if you do, or send positive thoughts or well wishes my family's way. He's always been the rock of our family, and his loss will hit us hard.

Sorry to hear that Kryz. Hope his departure is peaceful, surrounded by family and friends, and relatively pain-free.


Off to discuss the loan.


And off to work myself. Later FAWTLfolk.

I feel like I'm going to overwhelm myself with the amount of info I want to have in hand with regards to all the people and places of Esvel, the "main" continent of my campaign world. There's so many things to take into account when building a world, but so little time to actually get everything down when it comes down to it...

My thoughts and best wishes are with him and your family. I hope if and when he passes he's surrounded by those who love and care for him. It sounds like he's a grand gentleman.

Wizards spend day in and day out on the same spell list. They're known for knowing all this magic, but if they forget to fill out a sticky note...no prestidigitation today!

Well at least in earlier Editions. In my opinion* Vancian casting, especially the way wizards do it is to memorise a formula. Like creating a mathematical equation in their brains, (or performing a piece of music). However until the solution is presented (or the final note is played) it's not complete and only upon completion will the magical energies be released & thus the spell cast.

This is why there are limits to the number of spells a wizard can cast everyday. As each equation (song) causes a build up of magical pressure in his skull. To try and remember more would be catastrophic.
It's also why there were hard limits for the number of different spells of a single level, as the wizard could only remember & understand a certain number of possible formulae (depending upon his intelligence). It's not like reading from a book, but rather solving an equation.

*Very important preface, meaning I'm probably wrong - but it's a day of the week ending in the letter "y" & I'm always wrong on those.

hells yeah. This is how I've always seen it.

Good morning FAWTLY Folk! Somewhat happy Tuesday! I'm taking some training at a BP facility this morning. The drive here was fun, as I was basically driving by verbal directions from my supervisor and the google map app on my phone. Made it here without any problems.

And that's where the fun began. No one to ask or show where visitor parking is. When I finally found a spot that said visitor parking, pressing the button on the intercom panel did nothing. So then I had to turn around and try to find another place to park. Ended up randomly following another car and lucked out on a sign directing me to more visitor parking.

Found my way to the reception desk for the building I needed to be in, and they told me someone would collect me around 0745. Then why the f*!* did you say in the email to be here at 0730?!? Why have me waste f*#+ing time sitting on my ass for 15 minutes?!?

sorry to hear the day is starting so poorly.

just let it flow naturally man. Worry about the time you have to write and you'll never write anything. Just let it out bit by bit each day.

Blerg. Don't want to go to class today, but I know I need to.

I have been amusing myself reading about the most amazing bachelor in the world, Romeo Rose, and his search for the perfect lady via his website, Sleepless in Austin.

It's like watching the world's most horrible train wreck. It's a beautifully awful thing...

You forgot CHIPOTLE! And Einstein Begals and Panda Express.

In-N-Out Burger is hidiously stuffed with hungry hamburger customers.


but a great place for zombie take-out.

Einstein Begals [sic]

They just opened up an Einsteins on the road I take to work. I've stopped there five or six times now.

We had three or so out in the Phoenix valley that I visited or passed intermittently, so it's been a long time since I had them, didn't realize until I saw the building going up how much I'd missed them.

Still irked that all the Chipotle and Qdoba locations in Chattanooga closed. Doubly so that the closest ones of both are now two- or three-hour drives away.


For eating, Vegas, man! Vegas!


... is even FURTHER away =P


True.

Silver Crusade

I have tried to duplicate chipotles dry rub that they slather on their meat.

Places that I miss in Vegas,
Hugo's Cellar

Hot and juicy crawfish

Hash house a go go

Sterling brunch at ballys

Coffee Cup in BC

And back.

Friend promised to lend me 3 thousands instead of 5 thousands because he just moved to a house his family owns and had to spend a lot on repairs and renovations.

It will help me a great deal anyway.


Plane ticket bought.


No turning back.


Unless I win a lottery in mean time.


Which would be hard because it will be hard for me to spare cash for lottery tickets in the near future.


There were change to website when I wasn't looking?!


Will we see game space soon?


November would be a great time to start open tests!


Just saying.

Grand Lodge

Pretty sure I still have some unused access codes for the game space...

Silver Crusade

Having a wet burrito for dinner

Silver Crusade

PFS game at 6pm


Nah, I'll probably won't be able to get my players to play through net anyway. We are too much of tabletop bunch.


I should get back to developing stalker... Or maybe darkstrider...
