It’s a shame that there’s not the rule of law in this country.

Not sure if I should have breakfast or not. Probably should be worrying about more important things now anyway.

Been having a lot of dreams lately about having Ivy accompany me places like a sidekick. This is only notable really because IRL she is a homebody like me.

I’m thinking about buying a thesaurus because I love reference books.
I also need the Chicago Manual of Style but that’s pricy.

Okay going to bed now probably. Running my one-shot tomorrow. I have two of these that I end up running every 1–2 years or so. I like RotLS better but think TTWS is more “traditional.” They always surprise me as to how long they take to run for reasons I don’t want to expound on b/c I’m tired lol.

I’d never want a full fursuit but sometimes I think about what if I had ears and a tail. Of course I’d have no where to wear them and they’d be goofy as hell.

Person: I want to play D&D.
Same Person: turns off replies and DMs.
Look I know they meant friends / mutuals I guess but how do you meet new people to play with if you shut off communication. As someone who wants to run games with new players it frustrates me. I can’t get people to respond to me.

I found out that the reason home teams in the NFL wear white on the road is originally because it would contrast the two teams’ jerseys on black and white TVs.

Sometimes I really want to correct someone’s spelling even though I know it’s rude and probably not their fault anyway.

Well three glasses places couldn’t fix my glasses so I guess I’m giving up on that. I did get my little donation delivered and bought a book with a gift card that’s been burning a hole in my pocket for 2 or 3 years.
Not exactly the most successful errands. The eyeglasses place couldn’t fix my frames and the other place wasn’t open lol.

I hate to sound like a grumpy old man but $60 feels so expensive for a D&D book. Plus I want at least 1 digital copy. I understand why and I probably spent about the same per rulebook in the 2014 version. But it just *feels* like a line has been crossed. I don’t know why.

Thinking again about running one- or two-shots for charity but I really don’t know how to do it. And I would need a producer to volunteer and it feels awkward to ask someone to work just for charity.
