suspicious activity & a total scam

We weren't able to raid Eden's Verse for the past two weeks because Silver's FFXIV account got locked for "suspicious activity" and his queries to customer support went unanswered. What a cliffhanger after getting Iconoclasm to a 0.1% enrage. On the plus side, Tiro agreed to sub for Silver last Sun...

white stones | 10M, shaded, merle x2 | to a good home

November 8 – Everyone's favorite late-night guessing game: gunfire or fireworks? It's an empty game since I don't know the sounds well enough to distinguish, but there were a lot of them, followed by yelling and the sound of revving engines. I always say to myself that my balcony wall will protect ...

pigeon report

I am pleased to report that the pigeons are okay. I went downtown today for my dentist follow-up appointment (getting the permanent crown installed), and this time I made sure to look out for pigeons. I saw three big flocks—the first at the plaza, a second near the mural, and a third industriously p...

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?) I wish this site existed when I was 12; I would've been literally obsessed. Meet the Sun Stealers: Rubicon (m) | pack leader | 261 stats | gray w/ white inver...

now we're thinking with portals

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. One of the elevators has been broken since February. In September, with much fanfare, they announced t...
