Evidence of my nerdiness
Jul. 20th, 2007 10:04 pmOn Sunday, the ol' rpg crew got together and played a Zombies rpg using the rules system of Savage Worlds. Here's a rundown by one of the members of the adventuring team, Maksim. In his write-up, you'll find a copy of the description of my character, Fawn. I think my character wins for most unique character. I made her an art student. I did not pass up the opportunity to lampoon San Francisco and the unique individuals who inhabit the City.
It was fun to gather with the crew, and I do enjoy the Savage Worlds rules system. I recommend it.

I've had a Wii for a few weeks now.
I highly recommend one. It's great fun. The Wii Sports is worth its weight in gold alone.
That said, the Wii is a stern taskmaster. There is a "Wii Fitness" option where it tests your fitness level in three exercises that involve random combinations of their sports(baseball, tennis, bowling, golf, boxing). After throwing you through the virtual meat grinder, it calculates your fitness age.
The first time I took the test, it was given a fitness age of 65.
Surely that was beginner's luck. A few tries later, not much better. Then yesterday. 80. Yes, I blew the boxing exercise.
Now, if my fitness age is equivalent to that of an 80 year old japanese person, then I figure I'm ahead of the game.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Today featured a punching bag test and some bowling exercises. When it comes to bowling and punching the stuffing out of inanimate objects, I'm 34.
Sweet.

Jun. 18th, 2007 11:22 pm| D Rumsfeld, a new Mastermind on COH I created this new character today for the Liberty Server on COH. I like how he turned out. I think the resemblance is stunning. |
It's worthy to note that the face and hands chosen were those of the "zombie" line of toon features in City of Heroes. I used Vampire ears, as well.
Saint's Row
Feb. 11th, 2007 10:20 amSo I played Saint's Row for the first time last night on my Xbox. It has a similar feel. I enjoyed it. It will be a nice outlet for frustration.
I borrowed Tomb Raider Legends from Gamefly. I wasn't too enthused. Back it goes.
Crackdown also looks good, as it was developed by the some of the folks who designed GTA. This time you play a "supercop". I downloaded the Demo off Xbox Live.
taogrl is coming over soon.
Currently I'm having a nice Sunday morning. I did some much needed straightening out of the domicile. No, it's far from perfect, but some clutter was sorted and cast aside, and some vacuuming was done.

Jul. 12th, 2006 11:33 pmMartini Night was reasonable tonight. The martinis tasted better than the hors d'oeuvres, with the exception of the dessert, which was luscious. The first course was a dirty martini with a shrimp and olive stuffed cucumber. Cilantro was involved.
Nope. I still don't like green olives or dirty martinis.
Next up was a peach martini with a peach and fig crostini topped with feta cheese and a balsamic reduction sauce. Tasty
This was followed by a melon martini and some melon-wrapped prosciutto. The melon wasn't ripe enough, imho.
Cod cakes was next. Like crabcakes but...coddy. A lemon drop martini was provided with this little treat.
The dessert was chocolate mousse with whipped cream swirled through it topped with brownie bits. That was decadent. The martini accompanying this had a chocolate liqueur in it, but also smelled of Amaretto. Or maybe that was me.
Overall, the evening was full of delightful conversation and friends.
In other news, the security system wasted a lot of my time today. I hope to be closer tomorrow.
