Yesterday

I have to say that yesterday was both awesome and extremely tiring. It started at noon with taking imake1tgirl to Dick's in Seattle, to get cheeseburgers, we then went to her her Endocrinology appointment. That went extremely well, it looks like the remission is holding and that makes me so damn happy. Even if we had done nothing else, that would have made it the best day possible.

We then went on a journey to find army surplus stuff for our characters/Dying Light. We started by going to Surplus Too, which is located down in SoDo. Like I remember it when we lived near it, the store was pretty cool. Unfortunately it is cramped, a little dirty, and a bit more expensive then I remember it. It does have some nice things, but there are a lot of non-surplus items that seem sort of hot topic like.

We then swung by and visited with mickeemao for awhile, that was enjoyable. While I do game with him via PBEM games quite a bit, I haven't seen him in years. Hopefully this will be rectified. After visiting, we headed to another Army Surplus place on 1st Avenue. I can't quite remember the name of the place, but it was awesome. It had everything, it was all surplus and even better I found some tanker boots. I have wanted some for over a decade, the wife convinced me to get it. I may freak about our current economic status, but it was definitely worth it.

After all of this we headed over to Musashi's to meet with Kailey and Eric. I haven't seen Kailey in several years, and its been over 15 years since I have seen Eric. We sat, talked and I had a great time. We also went to an ice cream parlor afterwards named Molly Moon's ice cream in Wallingford. It was decent ice cream, although I much prefer Mallard's in Bellingham. We finally left and headed back to Everett and got home a little after 10pm. It was 10 long hours, it was worth it, now its the next morning and I am exhausted. I had considered calling in, but its probably best if I go in.

Dungeons and Dragons causes violence... no really it says that.

So I was reading Penny Arcade when they mention this article: http://www.sltrib.com/justice/ci_13146563 ; in which a dumbass beats two other dumbasses because of what happened during a D&D game. The article clearly attributes it to that, although there is a brief mention that there may be jealousy over a girl.

So, our media is still talking about how  Dungeons and Dragons can influence violence? All Dungeons and Dragons can really do is instigate annoyance at the d20 system (which sucks btw, give me GURPS any day).

Wow, I just had to comment on it.
