Lazy sunday

A red merle Australian shepherd lies on his side on his dog bed with his head against the wall and an annoyed expression that I stopped petting him to take a picture

You ever feel like it was wrong to evolve past worms, and the only two things we should be doing are writhing and gnawing?

Lol I'm still stoked on that coat but it turns out A) I mistook the brand for another brand and B) it's a women's small. Fits me like a glove over a hoodie and the hood style stays close to the face instead of flaring out, which I like, though. Nothing worse than a shit hood that funnels wind

Doing an RP scene where my pacifist hobgoblin is having another character turn his rapier into a blunted sword and I'm thinking about naming it Otabakas because I am a big nerd. It's not sakabato backwards, it's, uh, a famous hobgoblin warrior. Yeah. From history times

Rouruni Kenshin is a great anime for when you want made up things explained to you

There's legit criticism of 5e and then there's going "UGH THAT'S UNFAIR! FUCKIN 5E" when a creature with the same movement speed can move the same distance as you

Players swear they felt the tension, I was too terrified it was boring to really say how it went yet. Sucks that we've got 4 weeks till we resume on a cliffhanger though lol. One guy trapped behind a door by a zombie monster, everyone else scattered doing their own thing, time ticking down

Ran a smash and grab dnd session tonight. 20 minute timer spent in in initiative with each round taking a minute instead of 6 seconds. Grabbing the goods is a series of checks with each check determining how many seconds it adds to the timer. 4 minutes max, 45 seconds minimum. Ended session 9:40 in

I mean it doesnt hurt anymore, and the tooth is intact and firmly seated despite feeling real weird so.. im just putting it in the "probly fine" pile til my next dentist appointment as thinking much more about it will produce anxiety without speeding up how fast I can see a dentist 😅

Well something in my jaw just made a loud snap and it felt like electricity shot through my face but now my mouth opens wider and my back tooth feels weird so it's probly fine

Ugh I made the mistake of breaking down my session prep into a task every hour and now it seems unbearable. I should have just sat down and powered through

I have been skinny enough my whole life that it is very rare that an article of clothing fits me, but this new fall jacket I got does, and it's weird. The sleeves end at my wrist. The shoulders are neither tight nor drooping. The chest is snug but not restrictive when zipped.. its good but strange

The independent having so little faith in their writing that they practically beg the reader to flip through like a slideshow. Even going so far as to block the text of the article to let the reader know they can just skip it. This showed up at the top of the article and persisted throughout
