Oh, there's going to be some jumping. I roll dice to decide some of this stuff. Turns out Kjell is not really going to be the author of his own fate.

So every month or two my husband takes a wild hair and decides to clean the whole kitchen. He does it very thoroughly, which is pleasing, and always has to waste a lot of my time in the process by causing me to stop whatever I'm doing and solve x or y thing. However, I go along with this method beca...

I still don't get it. Yeah, whatever that is on her shirt bugs me too. It's a mess. But are we supposed to be looking at the sheep in the background or whatever those are?

“Yeah, she’s back,” Kjell said, with a nonchalant shrug, but Rone was hardly fooled. “Since when?” “Tonight. She was here a few hours ago. She came to get Ven – yeah, that kid she brought from Sandpoint. She wanted him to see the dead dragon before they sold it. Her friends were waiting with the wag...

Starday, 21 Neth Dear Diary, Dwyn is here! Everything was true - they killed a dragon and a whole bunch of giants AND I GOT TO SEE THE DEAD DRAGON!!! It was red and there were arrow holes and black marks all over where it was burnt! I didn't think fire could hurt dragons that breathe it but Dwyn say...

Do you think Oshar will come with Dothan to the Fort? I feel like an idiot for trying to assume the narrative will go in that direction, when at very turn something else new comes up and we go here and there and wherever. There isn't much way to plan things like this. But still, would Oshar go to th...

Fuck all this Halloween candy in my house.

This is an interesting reflection on some research about night owls and early birds: https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2016/11/if-your-child-is-terrible-blame-his-chronotype/506372/ Our society is set up to support the morning people and not the other way around, and it has significant effe...

Yay Oshar!!! Talking Dothan into things I can't talk her into!!! Muahahahaha!!!

Someone does not understand FERPA and I am pissed off. That is all. Also someone sent me a hideous picture of myself where I look like a scary fat clown, seriously. WHY would you do this to someone? Is it a kindness to reveal to me exactly how bad I look, along with the vague threat of making it pub...

Well, let's not judge his, uh, proclivities.

When he refused to endorse Donald and made it pretty clear he supports Hillary (I think he stopped short of an official endorsement, but then he made a public appearance with the Obamas that answered any questions), my respect for him increased a great deal not because I agree with that outcome, but...

John Sununu thinks it is okay to disparage Clinton's sex life and chant "lock her up" with a rally of Donald supporters, but apparently it's a bridge too far to say "execute her". Wow, small favors! Classy group. Interesting fact via Fallows: "TV coverage this cycle, in aggr...

I don't think it's a good idea for Clinton to say things like that, when she's the nominee, but is it not a fact that half of Trump's supporters belong in the basket? I love my aunt very much, but there is no question her political behavior is deplorable. She listens to nothing but Fox news, says a ...

Jonathan Chait has a good essay here ( http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/10/the-gops-age-of-authoritarianism-has-only-just-begun.html ) on why the GOP is going to continue moving toward the right and especially toward authoritarian, nationalist-style leaders. Of course, I came to this essay ...

Ron keeps assuring me that not only will she win, but that it won't even be close. Apparently he and Obama know something I don't, or I'm just temperamentally inclined to fear. Stan is basically saying exactly what my Mom has to say about Hillary, though she often adds things like "just look at...

Really bummed that Gogmurt is vanished. Hopefully he survived somehow. It's always good to have a friendly goblin around, when my understanding is that lots of goblins are running around the vicinity of Sandpoint/countryside. True that recently, as far as we know, they haven't organized themselves l...

Who is this Dave?

Just wanted to say that was an awesome session - it was a small encounter but for some reason it was a lot of fun, and felt good to have solved a lot of the "business" stuff on the boards so we can get on the road to the next thing where you're going to get us all killed! But that's ok. Ca...
