If I try to get certain things done during lunch, I have a much better quotient of completion. Reading books during lunch has successfully finished a few novels this season. I wondered what else I could apply my lunch time toward accomplishing, and I've turned to drawing.
I've been trying to learn how to draw for a while now, and it's with Katy Coope's book that I have finally become at least partially successful. But I really need to practice if I'm really going to be any good at it. So I've started drawing during lunch. more
This is an old video I found in my downloads folder. It's a humorous (ficticious) exchange between a veteran help-desk employee and a new trainee, who is learning the ropes on his first day.

On Sunday, the five of us (me, Berta, Abby, Mom, and Nana) went into Philly to see Alegria, one of the touring Cirque Du Soleil shows. This marks my fifth unique Cirque show, having seen "O", La Nouba, Dralion, and Varekai. more
I'm not sure what we're going to do yet tonight. It's a gaping hole of entertainment opportunity that I will probably squander. Although I really feel like a nice hamburger grilled at home. Maybe I can convince Dave to pack up his fight sticks and come over to play DOA3. We could even use the gift card Dan gave me for my birthday to get some badly needed controller extension cords. Finally, something worthy of the gift card.
Tomorrow is another thing. I'm running D&D tomorrow, assuming the Earth doesn't end. I'm optimistic for the Earth not ending and so I should probably finish writing up the story for tomorrow's game. This game has been interesting in the planning stages because in spite of not having each night's events planned out in advance, each step of the adventure has long before been scripted.
Tomorrow's game night takes adventurers to the exotic locale of the backwoods of Cormyr, where a rope bridge awaits them. Do they cross it? Do they fall it? How many of the PCs have boots of Levitation and Spiderclimb? Will the hordes of people and orcs do anything to stop them from crossing the bridge? Who knows?! Find out tomorrow in the continuing adventures of... The Onyx Mirror....
