My First D&D Encounter
Jul 13th
Wow! I am a changed man forever! It’s a bit of an overstatement, but that’s generally how I feel about this fantasy table-top game. I’ve tasted the sweet nectar of Dungeons & Dragons and I don’t think I’ll ever be the same. A couple weekends ago I met up with some D&D players in Marietta, GA and played for about four hours. Within those four hours, to my surprise, all the D&D stereotypes were confirmed. It was an epic experience for me and I certainly look forward to more encounters as I level up in real life.
Be warned that I am going to make fun of EVERYTHING! It’s all in good fun, though. I had a great time and I have enlisted with my new Band of Brothers- my Campaign Desperadoes- into the mysterious world of D&D players.
Slightly Used Xbox 360!
Jun 17th
Oh man! I finally get my grubby little hands on a next-gen gaming console and NOW I can’t even find the time to play it! It’s kind of eating me up inside. I do have certain family-related responsibilities so it’s an eternal battle between good and evil, yin and yang, Vader and Luke! On the lighter side, the kids are getting great use out of it because of our Netflix subscription. They have an endless library of kiddie shows to consume. The wife and I can watch old movies and whatever else is available in my “instant queue”. On the darker side… I’m just not playing as much games as I’d like.
The Great Email Exodus!
Jun 1st
A co-worker happened to see my Gmail inbox one day and the amount of unread emails caught his eye. It was roughly 11,000+. He then bet me $5 that I wouldn’t delete anything before the year 2008. After a couple of test searches, to see if there was really anything of value in those emails, I decided to remove the old emails. I didn’t get the $5 though, because it wasn’t spontaneous anymore. Don’t worry, I didn’t delete any emails either. 
From that experience, though, I’ve been a little more conscious of just how big my digital property collection is. I don’t think I horde a lot of physical items, but I am certainly a horder when it comes to digital property.
Whatcha’ Say!?
