I am so not ready for PaizoCon.

Also, my mom got us a gas grill for our birthdays (mine is the 27th) and I went with her to pick it up.

The guy at the store thought I was some kind of monster for letting my mom lift things while I did not... I felt like I had to display my injuries so he wouldn't judge me.

Anyway..... We have a gas grill!

Reason #37 to have a bad-a$$ mom.

My mother is 5'3", occasionally tops 100 pounds, yet:

After having a 1" cube of flesh removed from her arm due to a melanoma and being absolutely forbidden to ski a week after surgery, went snow shoeing instead.

At 68, when a grizzly mom and cub blocked her group from doing a 3-mile "valley flower" hike in Alaska, suggested to the ranger that, "Maybe we can go around this way instead." Cue the poor ranger being led on a TWENTY-THREE MILE death march as my mom kept wanting to see "one more thing" and he was too macho to say, "No more, lady! You're hiking me to death!!"

At 75, I was walking with her on Fourth Street in Berkeley and I turned left when she turned right. Outweighing her by a factor of 2, she went sprawling on the concrete. Cue 15-20 angry young men ready to defend her from me. And there, sprawled on the concrete, she burst out laughing, defusing the situation instantly.

She has many irritating facets, but she's a bad-a$$. No one denies that...

I think it's g$!*%~n hilarious that once you hit level 10 or so, Shepard has more hit points, better shields, and deals more damage than a tank. Want to kill a thresher maw? Forget that circle-strafe s~~~, just get out of the space car and shoot it 20 times with a pistol. You get way more experience, too. Go figure.

You are telling me that I was wasting time waiting for the cannon to reload all this times and should be killing those worms personally?!

Pretty much. The acid spit is easier to dodge on foot as well, and they only burrow if you're in the Mako. You can either get behind something and hit it a few times with a sniper rifle, or just run back and forth shooting at it with a pistol or assault rifle. Similar tactics also work on Geth Colossi and turrets.

I actually drive back and forth in Mako while fighting all those. Well, except the Colossi I fought on foot once.

[Freehold DM]

Colossi on foot, maws in mako.

F$@!ing epic! I just Ninja'd Freehold by two f!+!ing seconds!

It's a little easier to fight turrets and Colossi in the Mako-- I just do it with normal weapons because of the 50% experience point penalty on all kills made in the Mako.

Well, I'm officially teaching two sessions of Pathfinder for Kiddies.

As long as you get some squeeing with glee in after the terror shrieks that's okay.

To quote myself: "You teach them!"

[Tacticslion]

After screaming, dragging my heels, denying, and rejecting it, I can no longer deny... I'm sick.

I join my wife, our three-year-old, and our infant in this regard.

Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

[captain yesterday]

Have you tried not being sick?

[AngryNerdRageDemon]

[Scintillae]

I think I'm going to spend the first day just talking about classes, races, and alignments.

"Do you want to hit things or set them on fire?"

[captain yesterday]

How old are they?

[Scintillae]

I already anticipate having nothing but CE barbarians. Middle schoolers.

[Scintillae]

The program is open to 1st-9th grade. I requested nothing under 7th because haha no.

You want to hit them? Good. Now, do you want to hit them in the face or kick them in the back?

[Scintillae]

I think I might put together a powerpoint of the best examples of the core classes. I love me my base and hybrids, but herding a room full of hyperactive kids whose parents signed them up for a summer camp thing is going to be taxing enough with just the originals.

[captain yesterday]

Sound like fun, I GM for kids in the summer, all girls this summer, they still haven't decided if they wanted a Frozen Reign of Winter or Brave Kingmaker, previously I've done Disney's Robin Hood Kingmaker and Harry Potter Carrion Crown (The Harrowing replaced Wake of the Watcher)

today is the lynora workout - a day of cardio, stretching, and calisthenics. It's a good thing.

[Scintillae]

I've never done this before, so I'm trying to keep it simple. Probably going to spend day one introducing the idea of characters, day two actually making them, then days three and four running Hollow's Last Hope.

it would be good if drejk could come to the gym with me. Even better if lynora could, as it is her day. Even betterest if the entire FAWtL Health Goddess Trinity could come. Preferably as one gigantic Steven Universe-esque amalgamated being.

heading south of Megaton for the first time, first i had to cure my addiction to Scotch, which to be honest wouldn't have been a problem if i hadn't drank all my Scotch to get addicted to it:-D

Yeah, I tried the gym thing. Didn't care for it. Three mile hike over hilly terrain? Yes, please. Tai Chi in the park? Totally there. Yoga anywhere flat enough to set my mat? Awesome. Kayaking? Well...honestly, not really my thing, but I need to work on my arm strength, so sure. Swimming....yeah, I live in Michigan. We don't even try to swim before June unless it's an indoor pool. Which I'm not fond of. In fact, the overarching theme here is that I prefer outdoor exercise. The gym is somewhere I go in the winter because asthma and super cold temps are not a great combo for me. As soon as it thaws a bit, I'm out of there until the next December.

Edit: the only exercise I willingly do indoors is taekwondo lessons, and that kinda has to be done in a dojo. Which always smells like sweat socks. Blech.

So, yeah. We went fishing with 10# test yesterday. Yeah. And caught nothing. I took pictures of birds and trees and... and water. So... yeah.

hate. you.

Spoiler:

Not really. Just jealous.

[Tacticslion]

So... be sick and go to bed? Or be productive and make things nicer for my house? Sick? Work? Sick? Work?

Of course!

*Starts Bioshock*

[Ragadolf]

Heh, I'm all for exercise.

If only there was a way I could do it while sitting on the couch catching up on all of my DVR'd shows from this season,...
;P

Well, I'll be getting at least a little bit of exercise this summer.
Just logged in to tell my online peeps that I auditioned for a musical this summer. 'The Addams Family'. Didn't really expect to get anything. Was really hoping my daughter would get the part of 'Wednesday'.

Yeah, I got the part of Gomez. :/

NOW to figure out how to re-arrange my work schedule so that I can actually make rehearsals. Cuz there is NO way I am turning this part down! :)

Posting from massage chair again. Hard to post during a lynora workout - too much movement. Wasn't able to do much of the floor routine- the push ups and sit ups and planks and bridges and leg raises - the floor is filthy and I forgot my towel. Did a fair bit of inclined walking and fair bit of reclined cycling- it's amazing how low calorie burn can be despite your level of activities. Something to think about...

Did a martial arts exercises for first time in forever including slow movements. Forgot a bit but that's important too. Small steps.

Okay. Going to cool down a bit, charge phone, eat some ziti I saved, and then get home. Maybe the futon will be repaired....

Combining squees of glee with shrieks of terror? Sounds like a job for goblins.

For a middle schooler, CE is way too nice. They are level 666 of the Abyss evil. They are so evil that the Abyss worships THEM!!!

Welp. Finished the Medical Plaza. Got really grossed out and/or motion sick. Am now hooked by the fantastic (if disturbing) story. Dang it.

Young Prince of Summer's New favorite thing I do that cracks him up, every single time!

I can do the "evil monkey in my closet" shtick from Family Guy, he loves it! Especially if I add the Will Farrell dodge and roll to it:-)

Well, not sitting, but if you have an exercise machine or treadmill you can always set it up in front of your TV/Computer and run with it that way.

I always wanted to put the treadmill in my room at my parents' place so I could get my walking done and play Final Fantasy/Pokemon/whatever other game I was on at the same time. Stairs and narrow hallways in their house made it impractical.

Probably not all it's cracked up to be. I had to spend an entire scene stuffed in a trunk as Signor Pirelli in Sweeney Todd. It got claustrophobic.

Oh who am I kidding - Sweeney Todd was awesome. I got to die a horrific death every night!

[Celestial Healer]

Also, congrats on the part, Rags!
