I have recently joined a gaming group on Wednesday nights at Richmond Comix. Just for the record this is Dungeons & Dragons 4th ed. I'm talking about here. Now, somehow I have come to be identified as the group's tactician. Anyone who has gamed w/ me in the past knows that I am not a brilliant tactician. I generally depend on other players for ( Read more... )

I was working for Nabisco this morning as per my normal schedule stocking saltines on the shelf when I hear this father figure (praise the gent!) patiently admonishing his son, who couldn't have been more than four, not to mess up the shelves- see how that man [meaning me] is putting them up so neatly? I didn't say anything, but I'm thinking to ( Read more... )

Well, apparently I never posted in 2010, and I figured it was time that I got back to LJ. There's still subjects a little taboo for me to address online, but I'm clawing my way back to a happier me, one ledge at a time. I'm living in Midlothian again, but I transferred down w/ Nabisco when I moved. Tonight I'm going to Rare Olde Times for dinner ( Read more... )

I took Caitlyn to Greenbriar Park this evening for the first time in ages. It was such a gorgeous day how could I deny her? She brougt my giant frisbee, but she didn't use it. She just did her swing and sing thing. Sang for an entire half hour with little repetition. How does she do that ( Read more... )

I did a Google search for 'Bert Schmid', i.e. myself and I to wait until entry number 18 to find one that was actually relevant to me. I didn't realize how many Bert Schmid's were in the world. The relevant website happened to be my brother-in-law's Facebook page. Not even a site about ME ( Read more... )

Lost track of LJ... AGAIN. However, I HAVE started back writing on my blogger page again! Miracle of miracles. That's where I do my fiction writing, and a college acquaintance from the Cam got me into the Wily Writers group on Facebook. I haven't done as much toward story writing since I joined as I'd like, but part of that's b/c I was actually ( Read more... )

I get up this morning expecting to be in Harpers Ferry, WV for 12 hours in interview/job training for a management position with ALDI groceries. I get to the Quality Inn in Harpers Ferry and the ladies at the front desk say that no, it's not here. Let me look. No, it's at the one in Frederick on W. Patrick St. I FRIGGIN' LIVE OFF OF W PATRICK ST ( Read more... )

Okay, so I haven't even LOOKED at LJ since our previous monitor died over the summer. Obviously we have a new one now (we've had it for about a month now, in fact) and I should have gotten back to this sooner ( Read more... )

Okay, so Erin and Caitlyn are at church, and while I still have some basic straightening of the apartment left to do, my chores are basically done for today. After they get back from church we're planning on going to see Wall-E this afternoon. We've been saying we'd take Caitlyn to see it for a while now. I need to refocus on job-hunting too ( Read more... )
