And you know what that signals the end of.

 

July. Right. So, yeah.

 

So, weekend went as expected. Still quite busy friday and saturday, anything remarkable? Got the mini system back to the daycare lady, I was actually just down the road from her for another appointment, so that worked out very well. Made the easiest money ever by reloading Opera for a guy.  And a bunch of boring cleanouts. 

 

Sean's game went, uh... he doesn't read this does he? I don't think so. Well, anyway, it went like this. 4 bad guys all standing on a platform connected to where we are by a bridge. They are 50 meters away from us. In our party, we have 3 player characters and 5 NPCs. So that's an 12 person fight right there. What takes less then 20 seconds takes hours to get though in our time. So we start running across the bridge. And it turns into "the NPCs beat each other up." Because they were so much faster then us, or could fly, or whatever, Mizzy got one hit on one guy, and I did absolutely nothing. But run. But I got to watch as Sean's good guy characters beat up Sean's bad guy characters. Whiteye (Neil) could fly, so at least he got to do stuff.  

 

What is more telling is Mizzy vs. my reaction to this situation. I of course laugh it off, like "whoops, that didn't go very well, did it? Well, it happens because people never do what you expect." Mizzy has a very short temper (in general) and gets surly about the whole thing. Sean apologizes, but I tell him, hey, Kyosuke could probably have dumped them all in the lava by himself if he wanted to reveal his powers, so it's my own fault for playing my character properly. I could have teleported over there, but that would give my secret away, so I choose not to and I live with that choice. I still get to hang out with my friends, and see how they're doing, and play with Fritzi, and hear their funny stories from the week, and isn't that the point? Mizzy needs to learn there are very few things actually worth getting upset over, and just laugh the rest off, because you'll go crazy otherwise. (I've been and back, twice even, so I know what I'm talking 'bout) 

 

Today I read through the box of transformers comics he lent me. I really like what they're doing with the franchise now, it's not about giant robots bashing each other over the heads, it's about people in a desperate situation, that just happen to be giant robots and not made of flesh. It's much more humanistic, which is probably the incorrect usage of that word, but you get the point.

 

I also cleaned, and went to Grandma's 91st birthday party. I'm worried about her, she seems to have gone downhill rather rapidly the past week. She asked me why the sunlight in the room kept getting brighter and dimmer, apparently she forgot about clouds. I fear that this may just the first pebble in the final avalanche of her decline. 

 

Good number of calls over the weekend, I have three for tomorrow and I forget now but at least most of tuesday booked.

 

And there may be something special about tuesday, we'll have to wait and see, won't we?

 

I leave you in the same place I am.

 

Suspense.
