I went to the BoardgamesNJ meetup today for a quasi inexplicable reason. Well, okay, it wasn't really inexplicable. I went because I wanted a sundae. It might seem sort of roundabout, but here was my reasoning. If I actually went to the meetup, I would probably find something that irritated me and put me into a grumpy mood. It would then give me a ( Read more... )

Sometimes I think it would make things a whole lot easier if I just stopped making entries on the LJ and just switched over to voice posts. It's easier for a lot of reasons, mostly because I can do it from anywhere with the cell and I don't have to sit here tap, tap, tapping at the computer. I guess I would still have to post links and videos to ( Read more... )

I trekked out earlier today to pick up my Super Mario Galaxy pre-orders from Toys R Us. I managed to get both copies without a hitch, which was sort of surprising given the amount of difficulties others are experiencing. Some forum posts I've read have people reporting lines wrapped throughout the store and situations where there were over a ( Read more... )

I fell asleep almost immediately after the voice post and only managed to get around 70 minutes of sleep before pain woke me. I've popped some pills and now I'm just sitting around twiddling my thumbs until I can get back to bed. In the time I've been up, I've bought 14 james patterson books off of eBay and a hot pink umbrella from eBags. Maybe I'm ( Read more... )

Someone posted some pictures from dragoncon on the Order of the Stick LJ community of people dressed like characters from the comics. They're by far the best costumes I've ever seen for OotS, and I was thinking about some constructive plagerism.

Welp, I'll be leaving for Indianapolis tommorrow around noonish. This is my last day here in Chicago and everything's been pretty spiffy so far. Despite all the stories I hear from trip, there have been no drive-bys, no free blowjobs from 13 year olds, and the Oscar Meyer Weiner mobile has not tried to run me over. Yesterday was the party at Noelle ( Read more... )

So, I've actually got net access while I'm here in chicago, though I haven't used it for anything other than to keep up with a couple of forums that I'm on. It seems easier, in general, just to use the voice posts rather than making actual entries. Since I've got the time at the moment though, I thought I'd pop onto LJ and take a look around ( Read more... )

That's right. I have achieved fame and fort...well, fame anyway. Huge hat tip to Jirel. She was searching around on the Gencon History site and found a new section that mentions me ( Read more... )

Well, I've done just about all I can to prep for some of the gencon things I was so worried about. Joyce gave me a ring yesterday and offered to take me exploring in the interesting, yet more than slightly disturbing, world of arts and craft stores. You wouldn't believe some of the whacky crap they have in there ( Read more... )

The time until I have to set off for chicago is creeping up and I'm been feeling sort of anxious about the whole thing for weeks now. There are lotsa little things that need to be taken care of before then and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. The entire thing is just stressing me out and I really don't want to deal with it. It's funny how these trips ( Read more... )
