I was scared about the velocirapture coming after me this weekend. I didn't want to get eaten or anything like that. So I fought them off with my giant plastic shovel and... no, wait... none of that happened. Just like a real rapture!

Instead of doing anything cool for the end of days, I played me some D&D. It was fun, hanging out with some nerds. Joking about stuff, rolling dice, listening to all the crazy stories my friends have from their lives... and having nothing of value to share except the occasional witticism or clever/sarcastic remark. Well, I thought it was clever. Anyway for more details check this link. It's basically the DMs report of the game. It leaves out a lot. Like what about all the random things Ryuu was saying about, I forget, but it didn't make sense. There were so many drug references though. What were we doing before we started the case, probably drugs. But the other character Stanni, that guy was clearly rrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeaal fucked up on aaaaaaaaaaalot of drugs. My character seems to be the voice of reason. Although he ain't that pretty or all that quick. He's sensible though. And that was my high light of the week.
