#6304 – Is it December already? Ancient dice, Name Gen, misc

Vivid, but surreal dreams last night. no real rhyme or reason at all.. more like a series of different scenes events than anything else. I remember blocking a punch and the other person’s arm wrapping around mine like a wet towel, grappling me… and another different part where it was raining a sort of light.. you wouldn’t get wet, just a flicker of brightness on your body like being hit with a laser pointer. The ground was brightly lit, and the air was filled with little firefly flashes… folks didn’t seem to notice as I watched them walking, flickers and shards of light flying off of every surface.

Heh… the word “sheeple” for tourists in a group gave me a good giggle, last night.

I hear Island Boy is back to FMM… Nordis laid a bunch of people off. They have some bad practices over there.. hire 11 people, fire 8 within four or five months. not too cool. I’m glad he was able to bounce back to his old gig rather than being unemployed. (Though I think he could probably find a better gig elsewhere, pay-wise, unless they gave him a good raise when he returned.)

Kev had to put Tippy down on Friday… I’m glad he’s got the zoo there to keep his cheer up. So there’s Emma-puppy, who is about 50 lbs now… Felix and Jinx, the kitties, and Dexter who’s a full sized dog, and Ripley who’s a medium pooch, but getting up there in age, too. That’s a lot of love (and a lot of poop in the yard) remaining.


Ancient 20-sided die. (where’s the ancient Roman D&D Monster Manual?)

Nifty! I roll a Delta to block!
