| ENTRY 49: Holy Snow!!! |
Welcome to spring, everyone! It's been a quite a winter. Tell you the truth, I've had enough of winter, thank you very much...!
But it seems winter isn't done with us here in Toronto. In the last 24 hours, we've had to shovel the driveway 3 times; collectively I'd estimate that about 40 cm has fallen. The banks on either side of our driveway are at least 10 feet high. It's absolutely ridiculous.
I was supposed to have a party-filled weekend, but because of the weather most of them got canceled.
I really hope this is it. We haven't had this much snow in years, and I was starting to get used to the tranquil winters. We've been blasted by city-crippling blizzards, and it's getting a little old. Enough already!

| ENTRY 48: Make Up Your Mind |
Quick post; have to rant a little bit before I head off to work.
Yesterday was a beautiful day. It was surprisingly warm (12 degrees Celsius, which is unheard of in early March nowadays), all the ice and snow was melting finally, even the birds were out singing, a sure sign that spring was finally beginning to rear its wonderful head.
I wake up from my "mid-day" nap (meaning I woke up at 8:45 pm), took a shower, lamented at another game lossed by my beloved Raptors, and look out the window. It's snowing that crazy. I scream in terror, and my mom goes: "What, you didn't watch the news? There's gonna be a huuuge snowstorm tonight. Freezing rain, too!"
Why? Why can't it all just be OVERRRRR?!Labels: snow, weather |

| ENTRY 47: Dungeons & Dragons Wrap-Up I |
In the middle of "breakfast" at 3:00 pm...lol gotta love working overnights! Just need to add this before I get started: utorrent kicks some serious ASS! I've downloaded several movies, the whole first season of Dexter (RIDICULOUS show btw), a mind-boggling amount of comic book issues, and now I'm downloading the complete series of Deathnote. Not sure how good that show is, but I've caught a few episodes and it intrigues me.
Anyway, back the the Ultimate Game (lol it really isn't the ultimate game, but it's a sweet name). We're playing again today, so I'd thought I'd give a "brief" overview of what has transpired up to this point. We've just completed our first dungeon, which we happened upon while seeking shelter from an oncoming murderous storm (lots of lightning and hail and hurricane winds and shit). Turns out that the overhang that we found was actually an opening to an underground bugbear lair (definition: bugbears are distantly related to orcs. They are generally bigger, meaner, and more feral).
There was initially a lot of dissenting within the group; The Asshole's character, Argyle Houndtooth (get it?), decided to sneak up on Oxx and the other guy's character (can't remember his name, but he's an elven druid) after we found the lair, put his sword to our throats and kick us out. This is after Oxx and Druid fought of 8 giant rats -- Oxx killed seven of them lol. He then went to sleep and was ambushed by two bugbears. Served him right, the douche.
Lucky for him (VERY lucky for him) he managed to kill both bugbears, though he was mortally wounded. He came out to rest and hopefully get healed by the druid, who pretty much just gave him the finger. After he fell asleep, Oxx and the druid decided to go in and check out the rest of the lair. We quickly stumbled upon the "boss" of the dungeon, a heavily armored zombie bugbear warrior. The druid made the mistake of walking into the room first, and unfortunately got a spear through the chest (LMAOOOO!!!). As he lay on the floor dying, Oxx went one-on-one with the brute. Oxx was at a severe disadvantage; he only had 13 hp while the monster had close to 50. Nonetheless, Oxx was cleaving up the motherfucker, shaving a good 25 hp off before getting a morning star to the face. Severely wounded and disoriented, Oxx let out a war cry and kept on truckin'.
As intended, the war cry woke up Argyle Houndstooth, who rushed in and provided back-up with his trusty bow-and-arrows (he's a ranger). The zombie was soon done. Both Argyle and Oxx then tended to the almost-dead druid and were able to patch him up. We were all severely wounded, so we rested up for 8+ hours to regain our health and strength.
Once that was done, we then decided to explore the rest of the dungeon, this time with me in the front. I promptly ran into the web of a giant spider, but before it could reach me, the druid cut me loose, and I dispatched the vermin in one hit. Word. Cut the biatch in half. Further exploring revealed several treasures, which I divvied out, but not much more. Satisfied, we set out for the nearest town.
That's where we left off! What the town will bring, only the DM knows! Keep you posted!Labels: D and D |

| ENTRY 46: I Should Be Sleeping |
It's 4 o'clock in the morning, and I can't sleep. I've got a small headache, too, so I really shouldn't be staring at a computer screen. I can't help it, though; I need something that'll help ease the mind a little.
I woke up around 3 o'clock and my mind was racing. Everything was trying to garner my full attention all at the same time. I felt like pulling my hair out, I was so frustrated. Why can't I just sleep? Why do I have to have all these thoughts cropping up now, of all times? I don't want to be thinking about the war that's going on in my church, and there are better times to think about Joan that in the middle of the night when all you want to do is sleep.
Of course my thoughts are eventually going to turn to her. Joan wins out every time. Have you ever gone through instances in your head, and tried to work out how said instances could have gone differently, in such a way that you would have gotten a big Hollywood dramatic kiss at the end of it? Or is that just me being pathetic and lonely? LOL
Bah! I can't even watch any of the Dexter episodes I downloaded because the rest of the fam is asleep. This bites! |
