An update of more or less substance than before
I am totally totally totally not supposed to be up this late... I'm supposed to go over to Microsoft tomorrow morning to help people playtest stuff for CMU Puzzle Hunt... but but but the Hawks-Marines game 3 of the Pacific League Second Stage playoffs just started and the Marines could sweep the whole damn PL playoffs and Shunsuke Watanabe is pitching for Chiba and he's a submariner and so cute and... *head explodes* かっとばせマリーンズ!
It's funny, I feel like I posted here a lot this week but didn't actually write anything that happened to me. That's mostly because, well, not much happened. Monday was choir and lifting, Tuesday was PP and errands, Wednesday was volleyball, Thursday was an office party and D&D, and Friday was gym, and that's really about it, aside from catching bits of American and Japanese baseball playoffs on TV. My life is dreadfully boring. That's why I have to sit around writing baseball humor columns.
Thursday was kind of funny, because we had this office party from 3-7pm at the Garage Billiards & Bowling, which I'd forgotten about. There was a lot of food and it was really good, but other than that, it was just pool (two tables, always taken), shuffleboard (boring), and bowling. I bowled about twenty frames for fun, but ducked out for the intra-office competition games. Sad thing is, I'm a decent bowler, but left-handed, so lane bowling balls always screw up my wrist, and this time was no different... and even if I'd remembered about the party, I don't think I would have dragged my 10-pound bowling ball on the bus to work, y'know?
Between lifting Monday, vball Wednesday, bowling Thursday, and lifting today, my left arm is quite pissed off at me, and I can't help but wonder if a wrist brace might not be a bad investment.
Thursday night D&D was more hack'n'slash. We fought an iron golem. It was really dreadfully annoying and repetitive, just a matter of endurance and dice rolls. On the other hand, I FINALLY DISINTEGRATED SOMETHING! Not the golem, but a monk that was attacking us as well. Wheeee! We all levelled; unfortunately, I'm really nonplussed by 8th level wizard spells, to be honest. Empowered Disintegrate would be amusing, but probably not worth it since things always either save or have SR anyway.
Tonight after work I went to the gym with Megan and Heidi, but since we are all sort of doing different workouts these days, they ended up hanging out with Eric the Trainer and some other girl in the mat room, and I ended up spending about 20-25 minutes in the cardio room walking on the treadmill and riding the stationary bikes... because the Chicago-Anaheim ALCS game was on TV. I'm not just a tool, I'm the whole damn toolbox. Jon Garland pitched a complete game win for the White Sox, which was vaguely entertaining.
After the gym, I came home, and did laundry, watched Major League II (would you believe I'd never seen it before? That Rube Baker character was perfect in so many ways!), practiced some choir music, researched webhosting solutions some more, and checked in on PP (heh, I bought the "Charming Carp" sloop off Dolphine on a whim). A boring, but relaxing Friday night.
I'm about halfway done reading Memories of Empire, and I rue the publisher, for they have done an impressively bad job with typos and text breaks and whatnot.
I suppose I've whined enough about being boring, and my laundry is just about dry, and I'm going to sleep as soon as I get to hear Fukuura's cheer song again, so I might as well sign off here. (Heh... a minute later Fukuura hits a single to right to drive in another run. 2-0 Chiba. Yesssssssss. You SUCK, Arakaki!)
