The Discord L5R dice roller is now harder to roll, harder to read, and less gooder (sic) all around. Yay for improvement.

I had a joke about Green Oaks, but it aged poorly.

I have a joke about Troika and it's completely original.

I have a joke about Star Fleet Battles, but I don’t have the energy to tell it.

I have a joke about Car Wars, but it takes a hard swerve at the end.

I don’t know who George Formby is—he’s been all over my Bluesky today—and by this point I no longer care. Also, despite em dashes, written by a genuine amateur human.

My Fantasy Football team after week 1.

#boardgames Played a four-player game of House of Fado, a game of competing Portuguese music restaurants. Apparently, mechanically, a "select slice" of The Gallerist (but I've never played that). Anyway, I came away with a win. Fun, would lie to try again. About an hour. (Picture not ours).

Why I can't be an Aerospace Engineer: I can't get past that first problem. I keep answering "Yes!"

#ttrpg If I could apply myself, I'd love to actually stat out every character on the Leaderboard from the game Dispatch in a pen and paper game. I'm in love with these names.

Elven School Lunch You: dusty old crumbly 2nd Age lembas. The cool elves: lemon lembas with cranberries. The new Noldor kid: chocolate-chip lembas.

Tonight's viewing: Planet of the Vampires (1965) in Colorscope!

Overlooked by the Emmys again. My chance of being the first GOTHED (Grammy/Oscar/Tony/Hugo/Emmy/Darwin) Sextet Winner is diminishing.

I am broken. My nose: this is a hot cup of mint. My tongue: No, this is coffee-flavoured coffee, and it's still too hot. Nose: let's just agree to disagree. What the hell.

Suday football is on and we're on our first Red Zone "octo-box"! Given recent insomnia, I expect to sleep through most of these games.

They need French heroin smugglers?

I didn't hate Supergirl (the movie). It was fine. Enjoyed the last 2/3rds more than the 1st. I have no idea how it fits into the greater tapestry of the MCU*, but I'm not really an expert there. *Let me have my moment.

I really liked Mayor ZM’s message for the day, but… …I can’t see a man sitting at a desk outside without thinking….

While you were partying, I studied the Blade. But I'm a really bad student, very easily distracted. I got expelled from Blade school after the highest I scored on three re-tests of "Guess the Sharp End" was 43%. So now that the barbarians are at the gate--can I get a ride outta here?

Apparently I've lost access to "zip-lock" technology. This damn bag will not re-seal. I suspect the US Prez. No doubt he issued an Exec Order banning "zip-lock" in Canada.

Dreams after watching the new Batman cartoon: I created a spreadsheet that tracked inputs on columns B-I, that by column J could not only accurately predict crimes in each region of Gotham but predicts the emergence of super villains. Yep. I dream of spreadsheets. Anyway. Good show.

How many times has Satan tempted you to neglect Learning, and follow Gaming?

As an ethnic Leutonian, there's nothing like the classic Leutonian dinner, Cabbage Rolls and Coffee! Mmm, mmm, good!

English/French Grocery day, yesterday. I don't think I noticed before that the bakery section branding for English "Farmer's Market" doesn't match the French "Delices de Marché"--market delights, in English, basically." Is it a branding choice, or axiomatic translation? I don't know.

Things at 60 that make no sense to me when I was 30: “I need a wool sock for my left hand.” (Keeps it toasty and warmer while I watch TV in a warm room, and I find it helps with the arthritis.)

Now in Gunmetal Grey!

It's weird to see a Heritage Minute with Rick Mercer where he isn't "taking the piss." See Heritage Moment: Rye & Ginger et al youtu.be/wCjsUk7PchI?...

They're in the public eye now. I was an Army Cadet, a Scouts-like organization, from 1979 to 1983, when I joined the Amry. In 1981 we canoed from Cochrane ON to Moosonee on James Bay (about 360 km up the Abitibi River, to the Moose River). Beluga whales swam beside us on the last stretch.

Come on. iron Madden was sitting right there. Is anyone even trying, anymore?

Building fire alarm while I had just awoken and was brushing my teeth. Well, better than alarm in the night. *Construction generator in parking basement is improperly ventilated and was generating smoke.* *Ugly humidity today. Everything feels damp and heavy*

#ttrpg Bad Ideas that have consumed my imagination today. I should use marvel Multiverse RPG to run a non-Marvel superhero RPG somewhere between One Punch's C Tier and Dispatch.

So apparently I have Marmots here. Where the hell are my shoes?!
