Oops

Well I guess I've missed a few days. I can't really remember where I left off. It's in general been a pretty boring weekend. Game was canceled on Friday which was very disappointing. I went to the gym did my shoulders and triceps and then read a book. Might have watched a movie but obviously didn't strike me as important. Saturday I played some WOW its really just not very entertaining anymore. Also played some Wii. I bought a new game Mario Party 8 which has actually been kinda entertaining. Also played some Wii bowling and tennis. I really enjoy the tennis. Then we watched Ohio State lose which makes college football not so entertaining. U.C. lost two so it was kinda a double whammy. I did about 4 loads on laundry on Saturday too. On Sunday I watched some football. The Bengals might be the worst team in football. Though Detroit is giving them a run for that respect. Not really sure if I'd rather see them win a few or just lose every single game at this point. Maybe they'd fire the coach if they go 0-16. He sure won't quit cause he wants his money even though he's incompetent at best. The team doesn't even look like its trying most of the time, and yes at least effort would make me enjoy watching a little more. On a side note thought Fio had gotten married and I didn't even know about it. Well she's not really married just carries both last names from her parents. Well I suppose I'll stop here.

It Friday

But we're still writing about Thursday. I can't tell yet if I actually have enough players for my campaign I'm planning to start on Thursdays. I probably need to find 1-2 more players realistically cause I doubt Ash will make it every week. I mean he doesn't really have a job, well he does but it's like 8 hours a week so if he can pick up hours he kinda has to. Thus not truly dependable for showing up. I invited Matt but with no car he's questionable dependent on mothers car is never a good thing, but he is a college student. Yesterday was a typical day; work, dog, gym, food I had Indian from Anand India I'm kind of a regular there. Then I went home and watched Mr. and Mrs. Smith. I really enjoy that movie which is quite sad. They are supposed to be killing each other and even though they've been lying about who they really were for so long they were actually in love with each other. But the best part of the movie is at the end when he's like ask us about the sex question. He doesn't ask but he holds up 10 fingers its great. Well back to work. I get to game tonight hopefully everyone shows up.

Hmm

Well yesterday was interesting. I got a lot of reading done at work. AKA work was really boring and I didn't have much to do. After work I went home and walked my dog so it wouldn't destroy my house. Then I went to dinner with Amanda at a German Restaurant (Andy would have loved it). She was quite interesting, she does a lot of hiking but hasn't actually had time to recently. I have always been interested in that type of stuff so it made for a good topic of conversation, but I guess dating would be fun but truthfully I don't want a relationship. Just not interested would love to hang out do stuff, but on the other hand I'd rather do it with lots of different people too. This is a real dilemma. Well after that I drove home. Some friends came over and we watched Superbad. The movie was really quite terrible the only interesting parts are with McLovin but even that doesn't save the movie from being absolutely terrible. I also decided to start running a 4E game on Thursdays for now. We'll see if it sticks or not some of the people just have scheduling conflict and I really only want between 4-6 players. Well back to work since I actually have something to do.

Dinner with Dad

Well work yesterday was kind of a joke. The lab had so much work that me creating and making formula's was pretty much pointless as they weren't going to get weighed. So I spent most of the day reading my book which I did finish yesterday. Wasn't to bad had some good suspense for a book where nothing really happened. Two of my friends decided to make there own server for WOW and want me to play on it. Truthfully not interested in playing the game period at this point. I should really just cancel my account and stop wasting $15 a month. I swear that game just sucks the life out of you. I really don't want to play it anymore. Went to the gym as usual worked out legs yesterday not nearly as terrible as last week. Well on another note yesterday was Tuesday so I went out with my dad. I tried to get him to go bowling but I don't think he was that interested I'm getting the feeling that it either hurts his knee or his hand. We ate at the little diner in Sharonville. I think its called Athenian or something, food wasn't to bad at all. Thought I tried the baklava it wasn't that great. It was sort of a pastry that tasted kinda like Pecan Pie truthfully. After that we went back and watched Riddick at my place I still can't figure out why they cut out the scene where he takes out 20 soldiers with a blast wave its so cool. Well after the movie dad went home, I walked the dog and then finished my book. Thought I would go to bed early didn't work out still ended up awake til about midnight I think. I guess I'm just not a morning person.

Phones

Well yesterday I went through my regular schedule. Wake up, Shower, eat breakfast, work 8 hours, gym (back&stomach), walk/jog dog for 1mile plus. I did get my hairs cut lol. Ended up getting pizza for dinner and watching the new Indiana Jones something with a crystal skull. I was expecting a crappy movie but it was actually pretty entertaining. Was headed to bed to read for a bit when I noticed I missed a phone call. Called her back (oh yeah her name is Amanda) and ended up staying up til midnight. She really has an interesting personality. Apparently she drops her phone as much as I drop mine though I don't think she has to hold hers together to make it work. Well this is going to be a short entry cause yesterday's was really long.

Weekend Fun

Well this weekend started out just like any other weekend. I typically go up to play in a D&D game at Andy's apartment. Well, we had kinda completed a mission to go and find this lost shipment of cargo. We found it killed some goblins and some bigger monsters, and some kinda undead stuff on the way back towards town. Once in town we stayed in this run down inn. Food wasn't bad ect. Well we woke up and continued to turn in the stuff that we were sent to return and they wanted to inspect us to make sure we hadn't stolen anything. Seriously the crap they sent us to retrieve wouldn't be worth stealing. We were set up by someone however for many different things were found on are persons. I dumped my bag of holding and axes came flying out. Hmm we got set up by someone fucking humans. Well they wanted to arrest us and not pay us mind you stealing is a death sentence especially since we aren't human in this bloody human town. His guards came running about 8 of them towards the door and I figured I'm not up for this kinda crap so I through a fireball at all of them. Hmm burning his office was kinda fun. His guards were no match for a group of traveling adventurers we quickly handled them. I stuck my bigsby's icy grasp on him just to make sure he couldn't escape. We got paid, but he also wanted to have us arrested. Now we are currently avoiding police while trying to figure out who might have set us up.

I spent the night at Andy & Jules. Cause I wanted to play in Andy's one shot on Saturday. Something to do with a dark Raven Loft setting which I always enjoy. I decided to try and play test the new Barbarian test class on Blizzard's website. I finished making my character before I went to sleep on the couch. Woke up around noon the next day thought we were going to be going to lunch after I woke up and jumped in the shower but the others from Wittenberg were running behind. Lunch ended up around 1:30 but it was delicious. I had Gnocchi which not to many places make a good gnocchi. Then we proceeded to the gaming shop and a comic shop owned by the same people across the street from each other. It was kinda cool I've been looking for a mini for Jules campaign since I ordered one off a website and never received it. I spent some time looking then asked if someone had seen a dwarf mage. Luckily enough Kat a girl I had just met who was doing a much better job looking through them had and found it for me. I also bought a elf archer cause I wanted to try and play a ranger in whatever campaign maybe next. We finished up there and headed to Lionel's to get are geek gaming on lol. We were put another hour or so behind cause some of us didn't pregen are character before arriving to play. I hadn't named mine so Kat decided he would be Wog. I chose this over several other suggestions that were just questionable to begin with.

Wog use to be Capt. Wog served in the military for 3.5 years after which he started hanging around with this artificer who just happened to be able to fix and upgrade Wog as needed. It was a good relationship and paid well on both ends. We seemed to have gather a group of adventurers and were travelling towards are next destination when we were suddenly enveloped in a mist/fog. Thick as you can imagine couldn't see much in front of us I think we just took a wrong turn on the road. The fog led us to and old decrepit looking building. One of are companions noticed a sign on the ground that read Birchcroft Sanitarium.

The artificer wanted to see if he could fix the gate so I promptly knocked it off its hinges, we were immediately attacked by dead and decaying plant life. We spent 12 hours of gaming goodness exploring the Brichcroft Sanitarium and discovering what happened through some more then interesting devices. As we entered the building cause we assumed going through the fog would just lead us back to this point. We found ourselves in a lobby, with a young woman sitting behind a desk.

Apparently we had travelled back in time about 30 years. But we hadn't really it was just some kinda time dilation as we were flickering between a burnt building and a nice lobby. As we began talking to her we described what was going on I think she thought we were crazy and sent for guards. As I was about to swing my axe seeing trouble coming I was frozen in place. She turned into a large mound of insects and three disgusting pieces of bone appeared. Are mage set up a barrier to block them with fire so we could handle the insects. Another large creature appeared from behind scaring my artificer friend but there was nothing I could do being frozen. He put up an acid wall but the creature attacked through it. The mage became frozen and his wall dissipated. The cleric put pieces of stone to block there path but they came through the walls. Fighting in a cramped space made thing difficult for the mage but the warlock, Kat was quite happy to siphon the life from her friends almost obliterating the mound of insects in one shot. The fight concluded with the casters taking care of the mound of insects as my greataxe didn't do much as I swung through it.

We moved on into the institution trying to find some clues as to what was going on. We learned from several books there we two doctors working in this place. A Dr. Illhousen who seemed to have perfected talking to people and helping them through there mental trauma. The second was a Dr. Wellsby who treated his patients with phychotropic drugs that in my opinion would have messed with there minds. The dwarven cleric seemed to think smashing an empty bottle against a wall would be interesting but what he actually found was that by doing so one could see into the past for a split second. This helped quite a bit with discovering what really happened. We continued to investigate the building myself and the artificer. He's got a good eye for clues, found several signs that something wasn't quite right in the institution. Scraps of paper one of which had said that mercenaries from are warlocks country were dispatched to this place, words scratched into the ceiling with fingernails, among other things. These undead things seem to be creeping him out slightly though. As we were searching each of the offices we discovered a trap door in a corner under a plant. It was dark below but seeing as the stairs going up were destroyed as well as unsafe cause they looked to be burned.

Down we travelled into the darkness. We lit several sconces to provide light. The bottles showed us a child with a huge hole bored into his head. He was very unhappy with his mother for sending him to this place. It appeared someone was experimenting on brains of these poor people trapped in time. As we found a supply closet we were attacked. Apparently the mercenaries didn't survive. There undead bodies had awoke and were attacking us. Five of these undead grouped together as I charged into them swinging my deadly axe and ranging forth as a Hawk. Sadly the mage rained fire upon fire in the area I chose to attack and the enemies as well as myself were blown against a wall on the other side of the room. That magic stuff hurts. I did find the paladin facing off with one of these monsters on the other side of the room behind a pillar though explains where he was lol. The fire left the enemy dazed thankfully as I could knock him prone with my hawk rage. I widdled down what was left after the storm of fire and defeated the enemy leader.

We found several other interesting devices which Dr. Wellsby used in his research. A chair which deafened the mage and my training in the military I yelled and smacked him back to his senses. An operating room where apparently they had held the good Dr. Illhoussen to the table to drill into his skull. This Dr. Wallsby was a monster. Last we found the cell from which Dr. Illhoussen escaped ruining Dr. Wellsby's plans. That much I gather so far, as we were leaving the room and intern a lovely young woman was standing at the end of the path next to a wall. She said the Dr. Will see you now.

At this point I promptly turned off the lights in the room we were playing in scaring several other players as this was a horror game it was fitting. The Dr. explained kind of what happened after I mentioned the name Illhoussen and ruining his plans. One of the nurses sprayed a gas at us as I began to charge after the Dr. It didn't seem to have much affect though. The interns blocked the door so we could not enter. I was fine with this as I blasted all those enemy's standing to close to me. The mage dropped a ball of fire behind them so if they didn't want to let me in then they could burn for all I cared. The paladin called forth his god to grant us great powers, and we laid to waste these undead enemies. As I swung my great axe to destroy the Dr. he proved to be more nimble then I had expected dodging my attack. Though the warrior stepped up and finished him off. We found ourselves outside. Was it all just a dream or did it really happen.

On Sunday the Bengals were stomped yet again, I went and played tennis with a group of people from my friend Ash's church. It was a lot of fun and we went to IHOP after I had to try the pumpkin pancakes. Ash wanted to see the movie Max Payne, and after showing me the preview. I decided to go and watch it after going home and walking the dog I returned to the theatre and watched the movie. It was alright don't get me wrong it just wasn't that great of a movie. Wow that was a long post I'll just stop now.

Ouchy

Well I'm into my workout now although its quite painful. My first day is chest and biceps which is painful, day two is triceps and shoulders not so bad long as my shoulder doesn't hurt. Day three is back and abs the back muscles when you work them you don't even notice its the day after it gets you, and oh the by far most painful day 4 Legs. Legs are absolutely killing me today and I'm supposed to go lift the day one stuff. I am not 100% sure I am going to be able to today O the pain lol. Oh yeah and just in case you missed it the Bengals are attempting to go 0-16 as my friend says 0-6 and well on there way. Well I better get back to work I have an inspection tomorrow for my robot ug.

Mon. Oct 13

Hmm seems I've been slacking on this again its hard to get back into writing in this thing. Well Its Monday I finished a book last week not sure what it was called something about a cleaner. He was basically a person paid to clean up after jobs be it removal of dead bodies ect. It was actually a pretty interesting book I'll have to come back and add its title for those actually interested though nobody will be. Well I started reading a new book this week, The Broker by John Grisham its actually the second novel I've read by him. I think the other was about the a street lawyer well he didn't start out as a street lawyer but whatever. Its about a high powered Lawyer we'll call him a lobbyist, who got some information about a secret satellite system and basically got stuck in jail the CIA is supposedly hiding him (killing Americans is supposed to be fau pa but not in this book) CIA is actually just hiding him hoping to get some info out of him and basically leak where he's at and let someone else kill him later. Not sure whats actually going to happen yet. We'll leave my WOW playing out of this cause its not that important. But my friends account ended this weekend and he still hasn't lined up a real job that can pay the bills. Not sure what it is about him that keeps him from getting jobs. Eh. I am currently in the middle of Remodeling a bathroom. Well I forgot where I was going just got told I have a SIP audit on Thursday guess I should start cleaning up. Laters

Oct, 6

Well today I have decided to try and piece together a background for Jules new campaign. Its still in the review process so we'll see how it comes out I'll be sure to post it on here when I finish. My brother finished his first Triathlon this weekend Kayaking, running, and biking. I am attempting to start training to run in a marathon though we'll see how it goes. I need some better kinda motivation plus my bum knee is quite a bum. Well apparently Andy doesn't like Brandon's gaming style (didn't know he had one myself) oh that's what Andy has a problem with. Well I told him we should work on it but we'll see if he will let him play with us or not anymore. Though truthfully I'd prefer that he be able to come up and play so I don't have to drive all the time. I think that Missy that's my dog for those of you that don't know finally has learned to use her Electric dog fence/collar. Though we still have some mishaps they are few and far between. I'll write more later but I'm tired today and this is where I'll stop.
