Entry begun at 1235 h
Great Big Sea are going to be in DC in on Friday, April 28th at the Lisner Auditorium. Tickets are on sale now and available for purchase through Ticketmaster outlets, at the Lisner Box Office, by phoning (202) 397-SEAT (in DC), (410) 547-SEAT (in MD) and 1-800-551-SEAT (toll-free). Who's comin' with me?! (Mad props to the kick-ass SenatorDan for this info)
Yesterday was my first D&D gaming session since DECEMBER 2003. My God, it was wonderful! Beautiful! Amazing! SO MUCH FUN. I'm playing a human monk. EmoJosh is a half-elf ranger (they're always so popular...); SpanishLarry is most likely going to be a rogue, with a prestige class of Shadowdancer; BoxerDave is a half-orc barbarian who rides a warhog (dire boar, anyone?); and FilipinoMark is the DM. Yeah, they're all from Nova, and we sit in the lounge on the second floor of the CF building and roll dice and laugh at D&D jokes:
"You rolled a one on a Listen check. Right. Okay. Er, you sneeze. In the dead of winter in a land without the common cold and in the middle of a beet-field, you sneeze."
"Dude. It's a 40-foot centipede. That means it can trample you one hundred times in one pass."
"Oh, sweet, I just did a backflip off of a formic's head!"
"We need to knock him out. Mark, can we get any chloroform? ... Medieval setting, right. I forgot."
"Oh, God, not a pile of dung!"
So that last one wasn't really a "D&D joke", but it was funny.
Now the bad news. I was forced to drop my 7-10pm Tuesday class, Survey of Western Culture. I love the professor, it's his last year before retirement, we have interesting discussions, but it's just too much after too long a day. It was either drop it now, drop it later with a transcript penalty, or likely fail. I just couldn't handle staying up through three hours of lecture after an already 11-hour day. And since the class is pretty much entirely lecture-and-exam, that would not be good.
Well! We're about to start D&D again. WHEE! Catch y'all later.
