*steps aside and prepares for the return 'floop'*

*DM side of Wargamer points out that no "return" spell was ever developed, so it is not actually possible to leave the world ever again... and yet, doesn't much care.*

*sends lots of *

*hides the cookies while no-ones waching*

It would be nice if this chocolate chip cookie planet was also the place where all my missing pens and wristwatches have disappeared to.

But maybe that would be too much to hope for.

::bites into a chip cookie and finds a wristwatch in it ::

boy am i glad this wasn't a pencil. i hate the taste of pencils in the morning

Me, too.

If you swallow the wristwatch, we'll at least know what makes you tick.

what an awful idea! poisoning cookies with pens and wristwatches.. makes it almost office-like..

Your office is a huge cookie filled with pens and wristwatches?



I knew you had troubles, but nothing like this!

:: dreams about an office filled with chip cookies ::

Actually lately my office has been filled with cookies and s etc... We often rent our classrooms out and have been hosting hands-on security labs for corporation s. The leftover catered goodies hit the staff lounge at lunchtime and again at the end of each session at about 4pm.

I think I've gained at least 10 lbs this week already..

to batty's office

the goodies hit the staff? you call that security?

<>

Correct me if I'm wrong, Batty, but I thought you had lost some serious weight during your medical...um...procedures.

No?

Maybe that extra 10 pounds was just hovering in midair, looking for an unprotected belly, and you happened along.

::dreams of s unprotected belly ::

That wasn't what I meant, Pierce.

Anyway, you aren't a huge glob of unclaimed fat.....are you?

somehow the whole 'huge glob of unclaimed fat' and my belly conversation is starting to get disturbing...

Batty, this is all so deeply that I'm exploring uncharted territory. Didn't want to put you through anything disturbing. Besides, I think my belly is vulnerable too lately.



I just got back from the movies. I saw "Garden State."

I haven't been to the movies in a while... how was it?

It's about a 26-year-old actor who leaves L.A. to fly home to New Jersey to attend his mother's funeral. There are huge amounts of guilt in his dysfunctional family, but somehow the movie finds dozens of little goofy things about the situation that are quite funny.
It reminds some people of "The Graduate," though it reminds me more of "Reality Bites." The main protagonist is very likeable, though passive and polite. His father (a psychiatrist) has been prescribing large amounts of medication for him since a childhood incident resulted in his hurting his mother. He leaves his medication behind in L.A. however, and he gradually comes out of his shell during the movie. (Maybe he didn't really need the antidepressants? )
