What Are You Doing?

This means you have funny-smelling drawers. Take that statement any way you want.

Even worse than you would think. Each state even has small dialect changes and it's own words that are different or slang

We don't typically have one, unless jokingly calling them Bigfoot.

Though to quote Toby Keith- Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue

"Justice will be served and the battle will rage
This big dog will fight when you rattle his cage
And you'll be sorry that you messed with
The U.S. of A.
'Cause we'll put a boot in your ass
It's the American way"

 

Not any more. Now I have wire shelf full of hampers. No smelly drawers means no smelly drawers.

 

I just watched The Man Who Killed Don Quixote

That was a trippy film. Although I knew I was sold the moment Adam Driver handwaved the subtitles out of frame switching from Spanish to English with “We don’t need these. WE understand each other.”

 

Feet are sometimes referred to as 'dogs'. Large feet can be 'gunboats'.

 

Putting new lights on my outdoor Christmas wreath. The old string has given up the ghost.

 

Rolling around in bed. Coughing, sneezing, eyes filled with sickness tears as my body feels like it's been run over by two trucks, then flattened by a UFC fighter.

Flu.

Better to have it now then later, I say.

 

I shall look into my mind-cave and express (in fiction) the remaking of self and world in a challenging situation. It's an exercise of the question, "If we could literally change the world overnight, by just stopping most of what we're doing, why not now?" couple that with the observation that we would do it if we had no choice. Globally and paleo-historically, we can because we have. One single generation is all it would take. I can prove it in simulation. Thus, I will.

 

I spent the day doing nothing really exciting until about 6:30 when I went to this little learning area that sets up a Christmas lights display every December, and it's free to the public. Then I picked up my friend from his work, he bought me pizza, and then I watched him play Death Stranding for a few hours because I can't play video games as well as I wish I could.

 

Wondering if that one is worthwhile. Not that I ever have time to play anymore...

I saw an advance screening of the new Jumanji movie. Has some pretty good laughs, but I think it's the bottom of the three so far. It does set up for another which should be semi-identical to the original. I'm somewhat excited for it.

 

Much distracted because I can see a replacement chapter brewing in my mind. It's just a little out of reach right now....

 

Watching Mission: Impossible III. One of those movies that make me hate Tom Cruise. He's a good actor, but he just can't disappear into his character. And somehow, he makes me want to punch him in the nose every time I see him. I think that would be satisfying.

 

I had plans today with someone.

And last night they told me that they went on a short road trip yesterday and arrived safely.

So I’m trying to get an answer on whether they’re back because ARE WE DOING PLANS OR NAH??

Strong suspicion totes forgot.

 

I've got D&D later, but right now I'm trying to decide if I want to go make breakfast or just wait a few hours to eat before we quest. I'm also really comfortable and don't feel like moving.

 

I had this happen one times when I bought concert tickets for both of me and a friend. I showed up to their house the day of the concert to pick them up as we planned, and their roommates said they were camping in the Northern part of the state. Waste of money. Couldn't find someone else to go with in time. Ended up losing like a hundred and some dollars as a high schooler, which really pissed me off for a while.

 

I've always wanted to try D&D. Haven't found the right people to play with as of yet.

OT: Flu-ing. That is, being as sick as possible while trying to do things. Least the wife is taking care of me, which feels odd, but she'll hear no back talk on that.

 

I've been trying to play with a group for years. Haven't played in almost a decade. I really miss it honestly. Made some of my favorite characters from that. Now I mostly only do play-by-post RPGs, but a solid D&D campaign would be welcome again.

Sorry you're sick. It's always annoying. I've found I don't really get sick anymore now that I started singing more. Strange correlation maybe?

 

But where's the 'cooler you' in this external realm you wish to create?

 

I used to play it but our assigned DM wasn't terribly adaptable and it caused strife.

 

I found out probably in the past year that all my friends, ALL—every single one of them—secretly plays D&D.

I’ve been openly D&D curious since like junior high.

But I never really found someone to talk to me about it, like explain it or with whom or where I could play, and so it remained an open but unfulfilled curiousity.

The past year I finally started to just watch live-streams and learn a bit of it through that. That’s when friends one by one started telling me they played and have played for years.

My closest friend apparently is a DM for several campaigns constantly, and he bought me the Player’s Handbook but said he never found a group who’d let me join—even their oneshots—despite my knowing all of the players for at least a decade.

I FINALLY got invited into a tabletop rpg, but it’s Fate Core so I have no idea how that system works. But I’m glad the last friend I found out secretly plays was the first one to force a fellow friend to invite me into a new upcoming campaign of something. She’s clearly the keeper of the bunch. Anyway, it’s definitely going to be interesting.

 

My sister tried to get me to write D&D campaigns. I was horrible at it. Like, legitimately bad. I would be too controlling and I would be too specific to factor in player contributions and decisions. So she would have me write letters, dialogue and basic plotlines and piece the rest together herself.

Never really played D&D for any amount of time, but I respect it. I suppose if I had a persistent opportunity, I would try playing it for more than just a session or two. Some very famous and talented writers have their beginnings in D&D.

I think I like character creation and playing out is my favorite. I like being contained with parameters to prevent myself from going too wild. Never ran a campaign myself, but always wanted too. I think the randomness of some players maybe a bit irritating though.
