Tomorrow I get to be a handsome, svelte, well-groomed, successful, tan, enviable man… relatively speaking, of course.
It is that time of year again. It is gaming convention time.
Other than going to Wal-Mart, nothing makes me feel better about myself than going to a gaming convention. There is nothing like being surrounded by a convention of pear-shaped, black clad, basement dwelling, scraggly bearded, long-oily-haired, balding, gaming geeks, to make yourself feel better about your life choices. There I am a god! And it feels good. So tomorrow whilst in the midst of these light-fearing dorks, and while casually listening in on conversations about how the D-20 system has ruined pen & paper RPG’s, I will be resplendent in my married to a hotty, un-obese, salaried professional ways, and no one can take that away from me.
On a slightly less me-centric topic (but only slightly less), there is also news on the home sale front. Unfortunately it is not news on our home sale, but news on our stupid neighbor’s house. Our crappy neighbor’s house has gone into contract, which means that with his un-aggressive marketing and our aggressive marketing, we basically sold the jerk’s place for him. Let me tell you, that leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I really wish we would have gone into contract prior to him, but that was not in the cards. We are still getting a good amount of traffic through the house, but no one has even offered up a crappy bid.
Anyway, that is about all I have today.
To recap:
In a room full of über-geeks, I am a enviable by those very über-geeks for my lack of über-geekdom
Ëvërÿthïng ïs bëttër wïth ümläüts
It is a good thing to embrace one’s inner geek every once and a while
Our neighbor sucks
Hopefully with him out of the way we can sell our house faster
We just hope he didn’t undersell his place and undercut our potential sale
Steamed chicken with potatoes, green beans, onions, and corn for dinner tonight
It is both healthy and tasty, but it takes forever to cook
Short post today
Next week will be better
But I will not swear to that
For some reason, Blogger has decided to bork up my paragraphs, I apologize on its behalf

Gaming convention? How fun! I'm going to be at SIGGRAPH In Boston in August with all of the cool hipster geeks.
NYM:
SIGGRAPH does look cool, but much like Origins INternational Gaming Expo (the one I am going to), it's website just sucks.
hee hee
surrounding oneself by geeker geeks than oneself is always a surefire method to make oneself feel better about oneself
oneself

Jude:
One would be correct.

At a gaming convention, well, you can tell by the way I use my walk,
Im a woman's man: no time to talk.
/cue the wicked baseline...
"Light fearing dorks"
That is perfect. I love that description. I will add it to my handy grab bag of fabulously witty descriptive phrases. It will go right in there behind one of my all time favorites:
Window licking retards.
Anna:
I call'em like I see'em. Well in this case hear them scurrying about in various basements.
Dustin:
Oh, my dear dear naive freind, Dustin. We are talking about the geekiest of geeky games. We are talking about the Dungeons and Dragons class of game. Oh yes, we are talking about D&D and it's illegitimate spawn...
Dustin:
I got way more 20's than I will ever need.
