The week, without the baseball stuff... er, well, mostly, at least
It's Thursday/Friday already, huh. The rest of this week aside from baseball (mostly):
Puzzle Pirates. I'm not even sure where some of the time has gone. My crew is more active these days, probably owing to Quixaroo joining it, 'cause she's like, always on. I'm still captain! Haha! I still wish Sinlaeshel would come back, but oh well. Weaver and I still hate spades. They made a "universal purse" in the game now, so your money is all in one place no matter where you originally got it. I think this kinda sucks, but I guess we'll see how things work out. I'm thinking of selling my Endurance holdings and getting rid of the rest of my cloth and stuff at a stall on Turtle or Alpha or something, and concentrating mostly on pillaging. I guess we'll have to see how things pan out. Chernabog and I have had a bunch of long discussions about the economics of the game and how we predict things will work. He's fairly sure Endurance is a dead island, and I'm beginning to agree with him.
I'm reading a book about Mike "King" Kelly, which is mostly interesting because I haven't read much about baseball in the 1880's. And last night I watched The Pride of the Yankees, the Lou Gehrig story. I'm beginning to feel like maybe I was a Yankees fan in a past life or something, 'cause I love reading and watching the stuff about the 1920's Yankees and the 1950's and 1960's Yankees. Even if these days I'm a Yankees-hater (mostly by circumstance of being in a different AL city, and liking the Red Sox).
Oh, Tuesday night I met up with a random Seattle PP guy at the Pig & Whistle, which is a bar about a block and a half from my apartment, and we sat at the bar and ate sandwiches and watched the Mariners game on TV. It's always interesting to meet new people, though I think I freaked him out with my baseball and PP nerdage. Ah well.
Tonight we had D&D, and I spent the afternoon baking chocolate cupcakes. I did a slightly better job with the "fill the cups 2/3 full" routine this time, and ended up with 24 cupcakes in the end (though one got smooshed when I was taking it out of the pan so I brought over 23). I was all like "Hey, guys, I know you're gonna be sad to hear this but, uh... cupcakes again." Megan and Josh made a really good risotto and some sort of greens with bacon (collard greens? I am veggie ignorant) for dinner.
During D&D we further scouted the drow city. Mostly, we came up with silly ideas for ways to blow up the castle we wish we could get into (but Forbiddance is a pain in the butt spell in 3.0). My favorite was my idea, since it has these stone walkways between towers, I'd disintegrate the floor in a 10-foot circle, then Mirage Arcana the floor back, and wait for people to fall out of the castle. Hee! Instead, we went and kidnapped an ogre from the fire giant army and interrogated him, and Josh cast a few Commune spells to get answers about where we could find a person who knew the castle password. Our next quest is apparently to go to the ruins of the magic tower and find and convince some drow there to help us get the password to the Forbiddance.
I think I may start a baseball blog separate from this one, where I can post game reviews and book reviews and parody lyrics and all and not worry about boring the crap out of all of you more than you're already crap-bored...
I think I'm skipping Sakuracon entirely (mostly to go to baseball games with people this weekend). I was going to go and get![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
rkane a Penny Arcade book, but apparently he doesn't need me to, and quite frankly, anime cons make me want to kick people.
I want to go to Blue C Sushi today (Friday), if anyone's interested.
(EDIT> I mean for dinner. I'll probly end up going alone anyway.)

You met him through PP and yet he was freaked out by your nerdage? How lame of him.

Although it's funny - Chaya has a Hello Kitty toy that's her dressed up as a sushi cook in the middle of a kaiten conveyor belt. It's so pink and cute and oooh I just want kaiten sushi!

It does kill some of the fun of PvP, though.

Gah, just the very thought of trying to figure out PP Economics again after being gone so long makes my head hurt. I pretty much gave up around the time of the Iron Monger changes, because I didn't have the time to refigure all that stuff out.
When/if I get back, it's pillage, pillage, pillage only. Yarr!
Once I remember how to nav.
