zsparks fails at both stealing hats and high-fiveing.
I like the hats popping onto exec members’ heads.
I don’t know what Bubbles is doing…
What is this I don’t even.
Life
Life goes. So does life, which has been brought up to date… both the main life site and the photo stats pages have been updated for the new year.
It’s nice to see that I succeeded in my goal to be less photo-crazy… only 9316 photos taken in the last four months. I think going through photos immediately afterward and deleting bad ones is helping with that a lot. I should try and cut back even more this next year. With luck, I won’t need to buy a new hard drive this year (for the first time in several years).
Photos from the PPA reunion are posted here, for those interested. They really didn’t come out that great. Meh.
Yay things anyway.

It’s been a fun break. Went to Ohio and had fun times ice skating and bowling, went to Vegas and saw Terry Fator, and came to the first PPA reunion. Photos from that will eventually be posted to my photos site.
The most amusing part of this break though, was digging through old boxes in my closet and coming across some of these:
Anyone remember these? :D
I now have a small, black blob blooping (and pooping) in a little plastic egg attached to my wallet. Yay!

Life
Hard to believe it’s been over a month since my last post.
Life goes relatively well. life has gotten an update through November.
I purchased the complete series of Battlestar Galactica and have been watching it. This show is amazing. Yay for awesome SciFi. I guess it’s kind of my Christmas gift to myself.
This weekend has been full of eventfulness. Tim came to visit us and there has been a lot of gaming. We also went to Patrick’s last night (dragging along Tim, Keith, and Dan) for more games. Games have been fun.
Most importantly, for me, is that I have finally gotten [the redo of] RPG Get! playtested. This was actually extremely useful, because it showed very quickly that enemies were underpowered, rewards were overpowered, and the current system for mission attempts was too prone to deck screw. Changes are being made to the rules and cards, and hopefully the next playtest will go better. (Thanks, Tim, for helping.)
In other news, I finally ordered my laptop. I ended up purchasing the Toshiba, figuring that the price was great, and Costco provides a 90-day return policy plus 2 year warranty, so I can’t really go wrong. It arrived Friday evening, and I’ve just started setting it up (since the weekend has been full of distraction). So far, I’m extremely happy with the purchase.
I have also been getting back into KoL recently. There has been a pre-Crimbo (KoL’s Christmas) celebration in Crimbopolis, a special area of Hobopolis with unique loot. I managed to get fairly bad luck in my first three runs, ending up with three outfit pieces and none of the three optional drops. The fourth run managed to get one optional drop, but I ended up just purchasing the other two afterward from another clan this afternoon… so I finally have the full set of gear from the dungeon. Yay.
Tim is leaving tomorrow morning, and photos will be posted at some point. Yay life.
