16-hour shift done. Now time for nap

Good night Treefort!
Good night moon!
Good night Drejk! (and go to sleep!)

*blink*

Actually I wrote that after getting up past 4 am after having slept for ... Six hours I think? I went to bed in the afternoon and slept a few hours. Got woken up by a second call from my father who just had to discuss how I would like to rebuild my flat (for a money I don't have) and then went back to sleep and slept some more, though as usual for me, with lot of holes where I wake up, stir, fall asleep again, rinse, repeat.


Six hours slept, so it's.....

GOOD MORNING TREEFORTNAM!!!!

I'm already planning for PaizoCon '17. So, Memorial Day weekend, if you wanna game with a disreputable simian, that's where I'll be

That will be my graduation present to myself. Because directly after that I'll be looking for a new job in the legal field (hopefully)


Sweet!

Enjoy the GenCon Superextravaganza Experience! ;P

That post was talking about the first of many failed RPG Superstar items. I'm glad I found other places on the site. ;)

My first post was October 14th 2010, about turning Serpent's Skull into It's Always Sunny in Sargava.

Everyone died within a week. :-)


I'd been lurking and laughing at the Kingmaker obituaries since April or May though when I started getting Kingmaker on recommendations from FLGS. :-)

Stopped at Newbury Comics, then a quick spin over to Medieval Starship. Then a quick slice to go at Regina Pizzareia. All while making $18/hr. Life is good.

Ah, and now I have no work until next week. Officially on vacation


Time for a monkey-rampage?


Need help with a problem:

Spoiler:
I lost my job last Monday, and (unsuccessfully) applied for Medicaid later that week in order to try and find a way to pay for my prescriptions. Ever since then, I've been getting eaten alive by telemarketers and robo-callers. I think they got my number from the New York State website. Since last Thursday (the 25th), I've received almost 30 robo-calls from various insurance companies, scammers, and credit card companies. I'm in the Do Not Call Registry, and have been submitting complaints to the FTC every day, but the calls keep coming at all hours of the day and night. It's getting to the point where the sound of the phone ringing is giving me anxiety attacks, and I don't know what to do. If you know of ANYTHING, please let me know.

I had something similar after getting a new phone number whose previous owner apparently owed a lot of people money and hadn't returned medical equipment. After a couple of weeks of trying to explain I wasn't that person, I did this: Put all the numbers that I needed to answer in my contact list (which was a pain, but even Walgreens autocall "your prescription is ready" number is in there), sent all calls I didn't recognize to voice mail, and when I took time to listen to voice mail, immediately blocked spam numbers and put genuine callers in my contacts. Got things cleaned up in about a week. Took some time to mess with the contacts, but it's well worth it. Those people were driving me crazy. Of course, the majority of calls were from the same 3 or 4 numbers, so blocking them helped a TON.

We switched to burner phones and only told our parents.

The best part is, when I switched I got some guy's phone number that 1) lived in the same town 2) had the same first name, and 3) was really bad about not showing up for work at his three jobs, because all three bosses would call me and ask why I wasn't at work. And I'm standing there hip deep in a hole I've been digging for an hour so I can plant the tree, saying "...But, I am at work..."

It was pretty weird, even for my high tolerance for weird.


I've been watching Fear The Walking Dead. Never read the graphic novel, or watched it's originator series (which I realize is the graphic novel), any who, it's pretty good so far (2 episodes down) I really like the cinematography, there's quite a few shots where you could definitely see it as from a graphic novel.

That's not easy to do, bravo!

As a fan of all three, you have to keep in mind:

1. Although supposedly the same, the original graphic novel and the series are no longer the same except in broad plot outlines.

2. Just as in Game of Thrones, you really need to divorce the twain from each other. They are like twins. They might look the same, but they are not. If you expect the video adaption to slavishly follow the written story you will be disappointed.

2. Fear the Walking Dead gets a lot of crap from Walking Dead fans. My theory is that since it isn't the Walking Dead, it will always fall short in their eyes. As you seem to have experienced, considering it as a stand-alone without any preconceived expectations it is quite well done.


Oh and by the way....

GOOD MORNING TREEFORTNAM!!!!

T-Minus 26.5 hrs before I begin my journey to GenCon. 37 years in the making.

The power of positive thought and visualization cannot be overemphasized people. I know it sounds all New Agey and hippy-dippy, but the SH!T WORKS!

I visualized going to GenCon. I let nothing get in my way. I still have some anxiety about the financials, but by having faith I have everything I need covered as long as I don't go nuts and buy every book off the shelves.

Namaste b!tches!

Nice.

I always feel happy when I go to Dragoncon, won't get to go this year sadly, but still, awesome to everyone else who is getting to go to their Cons.

They're wonderful places ^w^


I've never been to a Con.

GenCon moved from Milwaukee, and the Con they have in town is at the colosseum, which is impossible to ride the bus to and parking costs way too much.

This is my last day before starting back watching my girls every evening. It's been a painful vacation without that pay and I've missed them, but I'm going to take today for myself, dammit. Packing up a cooler full of water and nutrients and heading across the Continental Divide to see what's on the other side. It's supposed to storm in the afternoon, so best to get out there quick, because lightning in the mountains is no joke.

I'm hoping I can start watching Stranger Things on Netflix tonight. Anybody seen it?

It's fantastic


They have Cloverfield on Hulu now.

I've heard good things about it. :-)

#2(the first one) really hurt me, as I'm sure mark can verify. I do not watch the tv show and avoid most tv fans. It mag be haughty of me, but the pacing of the TV show is not for me and I disapprove of many of the casting choices and creative decisions. To me, the only thing the shoe got right was the red viper vs the mountain. And that's it.

I think of it like this. I love the books, but if GRRM had made GoT as a TV show without ever writing the books, I'd still love it. In fact, I think the Mereen plot line in the TV show is much cleaner than it was in the books. And next season we finally get to see the Coming of the Silver Queen to Westeros....

it's all yours man. I do wonder how things would go if it was a tv series and not a novelization.


I personally really like Fargo, absolutely brilliant show.

The Last Panthers from Sundance TV also looks interesting,
