why do i have to choose between artists and video games for my profile? if you're an artist who designs video games it's really tough!
remj:
I have a favorite artist, instead of favorite video games, plural. It's a tough call!
majorboredom:
don't choose... just do!

I'm glad the shiny was memorable. At least you had something to take away from the trip.
koleeta:
erg, that sounds bad. (and a little shiny)

man, I want to talk to your mom. I'm wondering if it's for me. It sounds really interesting but I find I have a hard time staying interested in one specific thing for an extended period of time (like more than a year).

why is it that 5:30 is too early to wake up, but staying up until 5:30 is no problem?

Monday-Thursday I wake up at 5am. frown I no like.
zpo:
For us old folks staying up until 0530 is a rare occasion. Though I've had to do it far too many times recently for work.

i was supposed to be in north carolina tonight, but there was some sort of air conditioning failure, so i am not. my suitcase might be though.

i think people would not be so grouchy about plane issues if there would just be some way to know *before* you were actually at the airport. i mean, i don't want to go to north carolina, i'd...

Nom!

I'm going to the Bellevue TRU tomorrow for the download at noon, if you want to hang for lunch. (Alternatively, you call/text me tonight/tomorrow before I bus out there, and I'll stop by and grab your cart(s).)

pleo does a halloween dance!

remj:
Monday is a game night, where I'll be in Queen Anne playing Race - I don't know who's showing, but it's been light lately, enabling some number of 2P Race. If you or you and your husband would like to attend, I can check. (New Race handles up to 5!)

Tuesday is election. I'm bumming around bars downtown that night, I think. Wednesday might be D&D, I won't know for a couple days. That leaves Thursday or Friday, unless you want the Monday invite.

But yes. I like hanging out with you guys.

I was hoping this was your house. But I see no kitties.

everyone who _____ is a _____.

can we all agree that 98% of the time this is a ridiculously oversimplified and incorrect statement?

i really never want to hear a sentence phrased this way ever again. i will go so far as to say everyone who uses the sentence structure of 'everyone who _____ is a _____' is a racist, i mean a nazi, i...

I dislike logical fallacies in general. One that I hated the most at my last place of employment was hasty generalizations - using weak evidence (anecdotes of personal experience) to support sweeping claims on why X should or should not happen.

I'll bug him about how he handles vinyl...does he do Mac or PC?

And we should hang out sometime. Maybe there could be an excursion down to chicago-style stuffed spinach? There's a new game store opening up this weekend - Saturday day/night through Sunday day/night...7509 Aurora, just up from Beth's. I might go Saturday day.
remj:
I'm looking to schedule as much Race for the Galaxy in as possible, now the expansion is out. Are you guys doing anything Sunday late afternoon/evening? smile

so... hypothetically...

you're a company that outsources widget instruction manual design to another company. that company designs a totally ugly widget instruction manual. you think oh shit that widget instruction manual is totally ugly, nobody's gonna understand how to use our widgets, next time we better do it ourselves.

should you then:
a) have your designer make a kick-ass widget instruction manual which will explain...

You should put pinstripes on it. Pinstripes make everything look good.

I suppose you don't have to laugh but the other options frankly aren't a barral of fun.

I suggest trying 4th edition. Almost everyone, even people who have been playing D&D for a long time, is at least a little new to 4th edition, so it levels the playing field a bit.

And I'm surprised we haven't been friends long before this! You've always been one of my favorite people around the site!
morgan:
Well, I'm glad you asked. I was seriously like "WTF? Freckle and I aren't friends already?!"
