Nerdy Thoughts

It's Victoria day in Canada, also known as May 2-4...called that even if it's not on the 24th. In Newfoundland it's pretty much a holiday centered around camping. Even the weather is usually terrible. For reasons I've never understood, a lot of the camping takes place in gravel pits. Hell, there's even a song about it, if you like hokey folksy comedy music that can be grating on the ears. I mean, I'm from Newfoundland and Buddy Wasisname & the other fellers band is a local institution so I've grown to like them but ...yeah. Let's just say they're not indicative of my usual musical tastes.

...I'm getting off track though. The point I was trying to make is that it's Victoria day which is a federal holiday so I had the day off work.

Which is great because I had a D&D game Sunday night that went past midnight so I was happy I got to sleep in. It was a pretty decent game last night, I and a couple of others got to introduce new characters as our last characters were killed off trying to steal magical healing pears from a evil wizard/possible necromancer. My new character's a female Triton (think aquaman / namor types if you're not familiar) who's from a family of fighters but secretly she wants to earn gold so adventuring so she can open a tavern/restaurant. Unfortunately she was a little more violet in game than I meant to be but she survived her first night so, success!

Today was mostly a day of lazing around with my partner before I went to have coffee with my best friend. It was really nice because even though we're in the same D&D group, we haven't had a chance to hang one on one for the past month. Hard to fully catch up with a group around, can't really talk about private stuff or have a bitch session about annoying things when every one else wants to rp.
