make black mages hate you with this one weird trick

So far, 2021 is looking like the party year. On New Year's Eve, our entire static except for Kan got together for an impromptu board game night. I use the term "night" loosely; we started at 6 pm, with a break for dinner, and went until around 5 am. numbers was the GM. He was wildly drunk but had ...

sun stealers

Several days ago I started playing Wolvden and I'm unreasonably excited about getting to run a wolf pack. (Merry Christmas to me, I guess?)

HGR and I were discussing the copotypes of our static's dps. numbers is obviously an apocalypse dps, jumping off the edge. Luis is a superstar dps (too busy being a superstar to revive people). newbie's the boring dps, and I'm the sorry dps. After a month-and-a-half hiatus, we are BACK TO RAIDING ...

paper journaling versus e-journaling

It feels like every week or so, someone in The Daily Journal guild asks "Should I keep a paper journal or an electronic journal?" I decided to compile some thoughts: Benefits of physical journaling: Cool notebooks! Cool pens! Can easily draw/doodle/sketch in your journalUsing a physical journal (i...

shadowlands

My next plot to get myself downtown is well under way. Nah, not really, I just need to go to the dentist. Last year, I got a cavity filled, and I think the filling's come loose; I can feel a hole in my tooth same as before I got it filled. I mentioned it to my roommate last Monday (the 7th) and he...

annals of apartment life

12/1 They painted the hallways yesterday, and the smell drifted in here and it stank all evening. I wish they'd cut out the cosmetic stuff and fix the things around here that actually need fixing.

homegoing, homecoming

Home, the land of milk and honey and long walks in the woods and Mom's Thanksgiving dinner. It was a great Thanksgiving. Only the four of us were there; Dad (being Dad) wanted to invite some friends, but Mom said no. So it was just family time. I got to tell everyone about my latest work projects....

We're moving office in early December, so we need to box up all our stuff for the move. Ordinarily I'd be like, what a pain.
