The end is near, Tests are running

As we all know, Zosimos will be in town.

we suggested already to do some 4th of Julyish things. That being said: Were can we do it (Volunteer your appartment HERE). What do we want to do (Fireworks, Firewater and Burned Food was suggested - but whatever floats the boat is fine).

As it so happens, I am turning 30 on friday. Since I got to work and Friday night there is guild, I would really like to go out for some fun on saturday. My current plan would be to go playin some laser tag in the late afternoon and finish the day with a nice dinner (or other way around - depending on the hours of the laser tag place).

I would be more then happy if you guys would join me in this (laser tag alone is somehow rather boring)

Riverdance anyone?

Sometimes the amount of IDIOTS posting their brainless nonsens about this game is frightening. Why is it that this game seems to attract all kinds of  masochist players and stupid sadistic GMs?

I am frustrated.

Well, as the Title says:

What does one do on Thanksgiving in Bloomington or the surrounding area? I am not from the states and want to have a "typical american Thanksgiving experience". Any recommendations?

It actually appears that the rare breed of people who find the mind equally important for physical attraction then body really exists. Somehow good to know that not all hope is lost.

Wow, Mac and Cheese another typical american food experience - interesting and stuffing but somehow not pleasant. I will have to try the Kraft version though, or so I have been told - the ones at the crappy noodle place are to good to be representative. Van Lee's Mushrooms & Beef Stroganoff are really good by the way. Besides of that: Rootbeerfloats are really good too.

btw: anyone knows where Anima_mecaniques mood smilies come from? I like them way more then the standard ones...

Wow, a nice guy gave me today my first transformer. Recently there was this conversation that I never had one, so he surprised me today with my first transformer  - I love  it.... :D

If anyone could help me identify it? It's a green dumper truck decepticon.

I want to start with  Warhammer Fantasy Battle, anyone here who already plays it (or played)?

Well, got up early - working is nor sooo bad.

The land of the free? Whatever. Fact is: I have been forced to show my id way more often in the last three month in the states then in the last five years in europe. Sometimes I really think some people make fun out of it. Whoever said that the buerocracy in germany is the most annoying in the world hasnt either met the american yet or is biased. In germany you might need to do a lot, but a least, you get to know what you need in advance and as soon as you have your stuff together, everything goes fine. Here I have to go three times to the same office, hand my stuff in, just to learn, that they need some more stuff they could have told me about before. Whats the point in that? Keeping a country busy?

Anyway: I am annoyed. The best thing here so far? The Cheesecake!
