I've been meaning to listen to purple rain all week. I have the movie recorded on my DVR but haven't taken the time to fast forward through it. So of course I sit down in a wingstop and realize that it's playing but already at the end.

well i just alienated half my family through face book with this response to a family member "Wow Courtney I never guessed you would grow up to be both racist and stupid. good job making SD look even more backwards and ignorant than we already do. Well done."

how much do I care about this.. not at all. I'm not going to put up with this shit from strangers I'm certainly not going to let it go with family. It's ridiculous.

*whine* I want it to be the weekend NOW! I'm not usually one to complain about that. My weeks are fun and productive. Time's moving so slowly since I have something to look forward to. I wanna see my brother, dang it!

Just dropped half a C note on a new fountain pen to replace the one I "lost", when my daughter dug the missing pen out of her toy box.

I know it's a rather unintuitive system, but I'm so annoyed by people who don't bother to learn how @replies work on Twitter.

Here's the deal. If I say:
@Obscurus_Lupa is totally awesome and everyone should go follow her right now.
The only people who will see that message are those who follow both her and I on Twitter or who view my Twitter feed directly (and possibly her or people searching for her username, if search is working properly). That's a very short list, and leaves the message completely pointless. None of my followers who don't allready follow Obscurus Lupa will see that message show up in their feed.

I see that type of thing done so much and it irks me. I don't even know how to politely correct the people who do it. It's a fiddly little problem that doesn't immediately become clear in a 140 character explanation.

Really, it's Twitter's fault. They even removed the option to see @replies to people you don't follow, because they thought it was too confusing to users.

So, if you use Twitter, just remember to put a period or some other character before the @ if you want to just mention someone in a tweet instead of make an @reply.

EDIT: On a side note, I just used my 666th tweet to apologize to someone. I suck at being evil.

Dammit, I wish Youtube would let me set preferences per computer. On my desktop I want it to default to HD, but my netbook can't handle that.

If you look up Mad World on Youtube, you're likely to see Glee or Adam Lambert or Gary Jules or any other cover that misses the point rather than the Tears for Fears original. The song's called Mad World not fucking Sad World.

My friend wants to run Tomb of Horrors, so we're all rolling up multiple level 15 characters. There are too many feats, powers and magic items to choose from when you're rolling up a character that has already reached the paragon tier.

Just tell me what you want to play and how much you want to annoy the DM/Party.

We've been encouraged to roll up multiple characters. So far I've rolled up a dragonborn Warlord, who I intend to play as being the very pinnacle of chivalry. I built him to be very Charismatic, extremely helpful, and picked just about anything that used the word "inspiring". I expect him to be die probably 3 rounds into the first encounter. I still need to take him shopping, but other than equipment he's done.
I've also begun to create a human Rogue, gearing him towards the Ruthless Ruffian build because I like the idea of bludgeoning people blind. I intend for him to be the polar opposite of the Warlord. He'll last a bit longer, I expect. He will be a complete asshole, who will probably cause the deaths, either directly or indirectly, of more party members than monsters. He's only level 3 right now in terms of powers and feats, though I've worked out his Ability Scores up to level 15.
Right now I'm rolling up a goliath Warden, in an effort to just completely maximize my HP and see if I can survive the Tomb that way. I also took Eyes of the Hawk, so hopefully that will give me a bit of an edge for spotting traps. He's in the same state as the Rogue right now.
I plan on doing a forth as well; a sort of alternate-timeline version of my character from our woefully unfinished campaign. A dwarf Fighter who was all about aggro. He was level 5 when we all graduated and stopped playing that campaign, and I never got to level him up to Paragon path.

We're using Fantasy Grounds to play it, cause we're all spread out over the province now. None of us have ever used this before, and we're jumping straight into TOH.

I played a game wherei had to plan two 15 level characters, well one was 13 but because of all these other components she was just as powerful as a 15 level. I don't understand this stuff in general so I had to have my hand held through the whole process. But goddamn if one of those characters wasnt my favorite all time character. It was loads of fun. Lots of work but it pays off.

This build is one the relies on your unique warden/goliath abilitites heavily, it doesn't deal great amounts of damage but that's not what you are supposed to do. This is built to absorb/deflect damage and make saving throws!

Now everything does damage and damage isn't that interesting or debilitating. Effects are though, if you are stunned, dazed or asleep, you're out of the game essentially until you save against those effects.

This is where the warden shines! Your Font of Life ability allows you to make a single saving throw before the start of your turn and even if you fail you still get to save normally at the end of your turn. (This includes Death Saves)

This is modified by:
FEAT: +1 to the Font of Life Saving throw
FEAT: +2 to FOLS vs all elements
FEAT: if you make your FoLSave, all saves you make regularly gain a +2
Item: +1 to charm, fear, illusion or pychic saves

Next up is your resilience, and the goliath racial power Stones Endurance
Normal = resist 10 to all damage UEONT
Feat: increase this to +17 resist all
Feat: increases the penalty to those you mark to an unavoidable -9, yeah -9!!!!
Plus a plethora of other resistances gained through objects

Finally, your second wind. Normally these are boring and only used when the cleric is dead, but yours is exciting!

Using your second wind;
grants you 34+2 HP
+9 to all defences EOYNT
resist 5 to all damage EOYNT
grants your allies 17 temp hp 1/day

And thrown in just for fun are multiple ways to teleport and a 1/day I'm not going to die card

For the past three days, I've been on a short vacation, one that involves staying home and generally doing nothing. This exact time is also when my AC decided to die, and all attempts to fix it have ended in failure.

Oh yeah, and I live in Florida. I would say stay-at-home vacation ruined, if it didn't feel like such a first world problem.

I'm going to go stick my balls in the fridge for a few minutes.

What the hell, man? Mood swings... up and down and up and down and WAY up then WAY down. I do a good job of not taking it out on people who don't deserve it. I'm also good at calmly explaining exactly how I feel. What to actually do about it? No clue. Lately nothing consistently works. I guess it's just one of those things that happens and then stops happening. I've been feeling strange since my last birthday. Maybe there are some little frets I'm trying to ignore. I'm sure I'll get to the root of it, but man, is it inconvenient sometimes.

Why doesn't every single girl I message on eHarmony message me back!? Don't they realize how self-conscious that makes me??

Would it help if you found out that every girl you've messaged on eharmony was actually a guy? And in fact, were all alts of the same guy?

Quit sending me messages.

Actually, thanks to the magic of the internet, they don't even perceive you as a living human with thoughts and feelings. Most of them probably look at it and then delete it without a second thought.

Hehe. I'm actually talking to a couple girls on there currently so it's not all bad.

There are just a couple who I think are really cute and we seem to have a lot in common but they haven't given me the time of day.
