10 Reasons You Should Avoid Park Place Development
(and for those of you keen on libel or slander laws, this post constitutes neither... because it's 100% true!)

10) Our neighbors have littered in our front yard - literally as we stand nearby, watching.

9) The free gym membership cost me $20 in "card fees."   The gym card is a home-laminated ( Read more... )

Today, I am rejoined with three things I love: 

1. Coffee: My new GP figured out in short order what had been going on with me (an infection of ureaplasma urealyticum, which went away with the overzealous antibiotics script, as well as all of the bacteria in my colon, which left me on the fritz).   And this means I'm not really getting old *that* ( Read more... )

So if you're on my facebook or noticed me drooping about at the last fighter practice, you've probably figured out that there's something wrong with me ( Read more... )

O.O  I is like a gnome under a giant's foot today: to much to do, and I'm realizing I haven't set aside personal time in a long while.   Blugggaahh

So!  Dinner tonight (7pm) at Zemam's - it's a good idea.   Let me know if you can make it.   I don't want to throw them under the bus, yet =P 

Anyone up for Zeman's or Sushi on Friday evening, followed by Ironman 2 ( Read more... )

• Is it okay to applique & embroider the following on a coat for me:  on a plate (white roundle) dovetailed, a boar's head couped close to sinister sable, armed argent? (essentially the BTY heraldry's centerpiece with a different metal as the background and dovetails)

 I've been focused for hours now, and I have no inclination or nervous impulse toward distraction.    I'm not concerned.  I'm not depressed.  I'm not feeling bloggy (ironic, eh?).   I'm not feeling thoughtful.   That's sorta it.   I'm not feeling.  ...

I follow my feelings.  For everything.   Unconsidered, uninhibited, and unguided right brain ( Read more... )

 Selling my old D&D books to clear up some much needed bookshelf space.  I'm asking $5/book, and I'm open to barter (wool & good lumber are always in demand) Here's what's available:

• Mage: The Ascension 
• D&D 2.0 Player's Handbook (PHB)
• D&D 2.0 Dungeon Master's Guide (DMG)
• D&D 3.0 PHB
• D&D 3.5 PHB

I'm not a fan of the 'might earns the right' attitude toward champions' tourneys.    Instead, I believe a champion should be an exemplar and servant to his respective community, coronet, and crown.    Moreover, I feel that they should show how all elements of our game are important to our individual games ( Read more... )

I just paid off my credit card bill.   Two days ago, I paid off the last of my college expenses.   Four months ago, I paid off my car loan.   While most of this is simply consolidation (a fixed, 5% interest loan from my folks with automated payments), it's nice to have reduced the bind on my monthly income (from $290 to $150; 10 years to 5), and to ( Read more... )
