In Which We Brag About Our Petty Accomplishments

[Ensign Steve]

I don’t read (books) much. I think the only other one I read in that time period was Dan Browns’s Origin. I love me some Singularity!

I received a CNA license, in spite of squeezing out of doing so for some 20+ years

Today, I was SO LAZY that I used my fingernail to tighten up a loose screw so I wouldn't have to walk three or four yards to get a screwdriver. I got a splinter doing it, too.

Slept uninterrupted through bird o'clock.

I found a lost kid yesterday, about 4 - tiny. Non verbal, or at least would not speak to me. Saved him from trying to cross a busy road - he was up and down on the curb with traffic whizzing past.

Stayed with him for a good 20 minutes, played games with rocks and sticks to keep him occupied. Waited for Police to come - but while I was waiting 911 called me back and told me his name. and that his family had reported him missing from a local park, so it was pretty cool.

Told the Mor-man when I got home, he said "but you hate kids".

The older I get the more I enjoy intentionally trolling my teenager while pretending to be, like, really old and clueless. Bonus points if she has friends around.

"So is that actress that... er, Queef Latina then?"
"OMG, MUM, NO!"

Also mixing her friends up (they all look alike anyway), and then calling them all Janice to make it easier.

I made JoeP recoil from a Star Trek photoshop.

I think I finally set the focus on my camera's viewfinder correctly.

I wasn't sure where to stick this.

I got a text from a friend - she is on a cruise and today is in Bar Harbor walking around with her family being tourists.

I googled Bar Harbor live webcams and there was one for this restaurant called Geddy's.

I swear the fuck - I load the webcam and there they are - all just standing there - along with other tourists at the park just opposite the restaurant. So I screen shotted it and sent it to her.

Saw her look at phone, then around in confusion, then back at phone, then show phone to family, then look around again.. then all of them looking confused walking in circles. They were looking for me -thought I was there surprising them- like maybe I was on the cruise too. lol

Y'know how when you're heading for the elevator, and somebody just got in and the doors are closing, and they do that flailing thing where they're either trying or pretending to try to hit the Open button?

Well, if the lady this morning was pretending, she really saved herself, or at least saved me from making up an excuse not to get on. I had let out a couple of farts on the way, and I actually didn't want the door to open back up, so I let it close all casual-like, and then let out the toxic miasma that was waiting behind those warning shots. Luckily this was the 1st floor of the basement garage, so there was maximum ventilation.

AM I NOT MERCIFUL?

The other way around it would be even more funny. You just let out a big silent one because you are alone in there. Then just before the door is about to close a bunch of people turn up and you look at them shaking your head like "It's for the better, believe me".


I rarely bothered to hit the button when I was living in a high-rise building, I just stuck my foot in the door.

I larped for the first time Saturday with our friends Todd and Sharon. It was a small game like 10-12 of us total. We played in the massive (for California) backyard of someone’s house.

It was so much fun that I regret not larping til now. I found it very easy to roleplay and basically stay in character throughout (I was roleplaying someone close to myself, but the story has lots of high tech AI magic). Because you are physically moving and all action is in real time, it just felt more immersive that table top rpgs have when Ive played them.

I thought it was enough fun that I intend to continue playing and to go to crafting day in order to make my own boffer sword.

I’m also a little sore from all the running around and swinging a sword. According to Apple Watch, I walked more than 3 miles larping in a backyard

What was that, Gimpy?

Did I ever tell you guys the time I stuck my foot in an elevator door and it took my shoe? It was only like four floors I think, and my shoe was still there when it got back, but it still sort of sucked.
