Urgh. Managed to pick up a sore throat on the weekend. Hoping it goes away swiftly, as I have stuff to do the next few days.

Everything hurts. No bruises that I can see, but sore spots on my sternum from where I got stabbed during demonstration fights. #HEMA

I've had a lovely weekend of talking about and playing with swords, and now want time off to do laundry and house chores. WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME?

If you see this, post a Star Trek.

My Pheno game was accepted! Oh no, this means I'll have to spend the next few months reading, watching and writing about pirates. Such a burden...

Today's horror: a small child running about the store, pausing to stare at me and hiss/whispering "I see you..." Doing so from the top of the stairs was one thing, but looking through the shelves at me was some Empty Child level shit.

I'm not the audience for this evangelical pamphlet I found on the train, but shortening secondly to 2ndly has to be some sort of mortal sin, right?

Dixie checked my bag for snacks and smells very seriously last night. #cats

For some reason political leadership squabbles look different to me after watching The Death of Stalin. #UKpolitics youtube.com/shorts/dHenm...

We lost Douglas Adams 25 years ago today. This has made a lot of people very sad and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

In good news this week, found out a co-worker described me to a customer as a 'Metal Wizard', given that I like metal and look like a wizard. Nice to know I'm building a reputation.

"I've just extended my reach by 5ft or so." "But did you say 'Go go Gadget' as you did?" #quotesfromgamenight

"What did you get for Initiative?" "22, with a Nat 20." "That doesn't count for Initiative." "Well, it still felt nice to roll one." #quotesfromgamenight

"This wakes me up with light stabbing, this one doesn't like being licked..." #quotesfromgamenight

"We should have more pushing powers! You push them towards me and I push someone else towards them." "And then say now kiss?" #quotesfromgamenight

My recent stretch of 'molehills becoming mountains' continues. Things that shouldn't bother me fill me with rage. Have some minor, but difficult stuff to do ton, and hoping the accomplishment will help me break out a little. #mentalhealth

Who's your favorite Jedi? (Wrong answers only)

I was meant to be gaming tonight, but instead I helped a friend move stuff out of her house. Everything hurts. I sleep now.

Cloak has been purchased for Neice (with wife's approval), and I decided to write a note to accompany it. Wrote a version, then went and showered and immediately thought "I can make it better!" So far, it's better.

Repost to make it die faster

Got a torc as #LARP costume and I just realised how heavy it feels around my neck. WIFE: Maybe it'll be good for you to wear a collar. Me: Symbolic of my house husband status. *shakes fist* MATRIARCHY! (I'm so glad she took the joke as was intended)

Been a slow day, slept badly and cranky. Gonna do some cleaning, that frequently brings customers in.

Att @rebootingfromstart.bsky.social - Squaa!

I'm wondering what the odds are on Trump rescheduling the event to be at one of his own properties.

Film you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Wars/Trek, HP, LOTR, Marvel.

One of my favorite episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation

First that comes to mind is a line, not a passage. From a #Babylon5 one-shot I wrote, one of the Grey Council (Who was an archaeologist) asking why Valen chose them to join the Council. His answer was "The future requires the past." #rpgs #larp

"It's a modern edition, from the last century. It's on tablet." "Electronic or stone?" #quotesfromgamenight

"There's a new Ravenloft book coming soon." "2 Ravens, 2 Lofty?" "Well, better that than '2 Ravens, 1 Cup.'" #quotesfromgamenight

Gutted to see the news - my childhood is poorer for his loss. I'd have loved to have said how much the Afternoon Show meant to me as a kid. #RIPJamesValentine

Got some more varnish on the book shelves last night, even if I keep seeing spots that need to be repainted. I just want it to be done...

Days in which I eat a pack of Oreos by myself aren't good days. On the bright side, there's 20 Tim Tam's in an unopened packet in my house I've had the willpower not to open.

I have managed to drop my headphones in such a way that the function buttons on them no longer work, but all other functions seem OK. They connect, play and I can pause/adjust volume from my phone. Curious.

"If we're here for 4 hours Fluffy can explode on you too." "Oh myyyy." #quotesfromgamenight

"Would you like to lower your AC by 4?" "What benefit would I get?" "Injury?" #quotesfromgamenight
