  • This morning I went to the office to pay my space rent and have a donut.  While there I found out that the crew that put the new No Parking sign in my lot was supposed to replace my border rocks.  They moved them out to plant the sign, but never moved them back.  They thought it'd be OK if I moved them back rather than wait for the crew to get around to it.


    It seems like PFF had fun at Disneyland this weekend.  I wish I could have gone.  But I find that funds aren't the same without roommates.  I was going to pay my Trollhalla membership out of this paycheck--just like I was going to out of each previous check--but all the cleaning supplies I bought yesterday took away my discretionary income for these two weeks.  The last paycheck went to the RenFest.  I don't even remember where the previous one went to.  Next paycheck, I swear.  Then, maybe I'll be able to afford the next PFF road trip, too. 


    So my mother and I tried the new Oreo Cookie Barz Peanut Butter Cream style, and I find that they're really good.  So I go to the Nabisco World web site only to discover that they don't even have anything about it!  Talk about marketing mistakes!


    One thing I forgot to mention about Saturday was character naming.  While my Obsidiman Purifier still doesn't have a name, I did help Lori name her Orc Beastmaster.  She was having a hard time naming her character, so I told her to name it Stubby McNubbins.  The gamemaster glared at me and said, "No! 'Mc' doesn't come from the Caspian Sea region where Barsaive is set."  Luckily, Kitty came to our rescue and told Lori to instead use Stubby Nubbinivitch.  Everyone agreed that it was a great orc name, much to Trav's dismay.   


    And just in case you thought that weather and war were the only newsworthy items these days:  Extra Dimensions Showing Hints Of Scientific Revolution.  I expect that this will all go down in our lifetimes. 


    And here's an interesting contrast in quiz results:
