Slaad-blog? Why I haven't seen that before?!
where is this blog?
Probably the same place my clothes are.....
Hopefully it goes away fast. Ear infections are nasty stuff.
It's not hurting as bad today, at least, which is a plus.

So I bought a 'learn to Art' book and a set of pencils and paper and I made a thing. This is my third thing, beyond a pear and a lamp, and the first thing that made me happy.

John's family is still here. They will be at least until next week.
Last night, John had a work meeting in the evening. I took the opportunity to hang out in Manhattan until about 9 pm. I just couldn't deal with an entire evening of unmediated small talk. They are good people, don't get me wrong. But this has been very draining.

Very nice =)
@MagusJanus - And my sympathies to you too, friend. I hope your grandmother is getting the care she needs. *crosses more fingers*
Thank you. We're currently trying to get her into the doctor. It may be related to that six months of renal appointments she refused to go to.
Also, does SR 4e not have "chummer"? I am playing in a semi frequent campaign atm and the GM frequently throws in slang that I am learning is from the setting, chummer being among them, but that may just be the GM's doing.
Not the original release of it. They took out nearly all of the Shadowrun slang in favor of real-world slang. And then added in a spell that, well, had very adultish effects.
It does not surprise me the company ended up having to sell Shadowrun to someone else not long after.
I am. I can make conversation as well as anybody, but I need my "recharge time" and I haven't really been getting it.
I could too. It's been a few years.

My whole family is a family of introverts. Its always great when we can get together, but there's this point, about 3-4 days into the visit, where we all kind of look at each other for a moment, and find someplace to hide and be alone and read a book or play a video game or go for a walk.
After about 2-3 hours, we get together again and have more fun.
:)
It's nice that we all totally understand what's going on, and nobody gets upset and feels "ignored" because of it. :)

I envy you so much. My parents are both very extroverted, as is my sister. They seem to "get" that I can only take so much "public time", but they're not exactly happy about it.
Treppa, can I use that for my owlbear token in online games?
Of course, though there are no bear claws in evidence. ;)

pfff... I think I know the spell you mean. The Mage in our group uses it. A lot. If the results weren't generally so hilarious, it would be a lot more awkward.

I will second these opinions. I definitely like the thing. :)

I already met the anti Freehold at comic con last year. We touched, and in doing so, almost caused a singularity.
I'm disappointed at the lack of world-ending.

John's family is a mix. His dad is an introvert, but he has been spending our workdays on his own, so he wants to chat when I get home.
I feel for his sister (who had the baby). She is extremely introverted and has been doted on all week. I'm sure she wishes everyone would stop helping...

My mom and brother are extroverts. My dad is possibly even more introverted than I am. (He doesn't even like to talk to waiters at restaurants.) I remember when I visited them in CA, and they had 2 weeks straight of rain. About day 8, there was a break in the downpour. He took one look at me, told me to grab a coat, and we went and just walked down a nearby pier. No talking, just walking and enjoying the quiet.

See, for me, interaction with service workers is not taxing. It all follows a script so I can be downright friendly (even if I am otherwise spent) because I know exactly what to expect.

Ain't that the truth! The stars were gonna be right and everything!
One journal down, one to go.
For someone with as many memory problems as I have, I'm really surprised I can remember the stuff that goes on on Monday's game when I write the journal on Friday. That's two weeks in a row I've done that and only forgotten minor details.

If only I had known, we could have hung out!!!
I successfully made my Will save to disbelieve SR 5e and its setting changes.* Which is weird, cause I'd be at the front of the line for William Gibson-/Shadowrun-style Zeiss cybereye-replacements with the full thermographic/low-light/flare protection/smartgun II upgrades.Make certain they're properly secured. Last thing you need is some corporate sales jerk hacking your eyes to spam you with advertisements. Or you could just have them non-wireless, but that doesn't seem to be encouraged by the latest ruleset.
If no one's saying the word "chummer", it's not Shadowrun.
5e SR brought "chummer" back ^^ On page 14, in the section where they describe the setting.
They're still going wireless-happy, though :S
But, they brought the slang back, actually wrote a full rules set (glares at 4e), and they made picking human as Priority A actually worth something.
wireless is a necessity, as Shadowrun has accidentally predicted several non - magic based bits of technological and political advancements.
Good morning FAWTLY Folk!! HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!
It's looking to be a beautiful day here in Houston! Sunny! High in the low 70s. And it's supposed to be a short, but busy workday.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
You must be an introvert.
CH is just as loud and extroverted as I am!!!!

today the mayor came by and gave us the welcome cheque every baby gets in our municipality
he did it himself because he want to write a articel (pictures and all) about it for the local newspapers to make this feature more known
he did chose us because he remembered me from my civil service year in 1997, he was my supervisor back then (he was just an administrative clerk at the municipality back then)
the mayor is born on new years day as well,he said he thought it was awesome as a kid because for hi, it was like the whole world celebrated his birthday :-)

I on the other hand like my job =)
In other news, we have a cold front moving in. We're going to drop down to 69 at some point next week. :D

La Bergamote on west (way west) 52nd. It's kind of a casual coffee and pastry shop. If that's what you are looking for, it's a good one. If you want more of French dining, I recommend Le Rivage on west 46th. If you go at 7:30 or later, the obnoxious theater goers are gone and the menu becomes substantially cheaper to boot.

Being able to make lively conversation does not make one an extrovert! Despite being an introvert, I can be very social, enjoy public speaking, and have a job focused on managing client relationships. The difference is I need my time to recharge and reflect in between. This doesn't even need to be in private; for me, browsing a library or taking a stroll by myself through the city works just as well. Plus, I tend to focus inward when solving problems.
All that said, it would have been fun to get together! I assumed you were in Brooklyn or I would have asked. We need to get together very soon! Starting in two weeks, John will be working weekends again, so I will have time!

Woot!
Time for poutine and ice cream!
MAY WHEDON WEEP!
OH, maybe we can double date!!!! That would make my wife (also an introvert, interestingly enough) happy.

Okay, so it was more like I got fired. Or laid off. I'm hazy on the difference.

Wow, that is incredibly good!
And sorry for not replying earlier. Distracted too much.
