Would you like to know how I know this? She showed me that she loves me by calling up Barnes and Noble to see if they had a D&D book that I wanted. You are probably saying to yourself that this really isn’t a big deal, it’s just a book. I would agree with you, but she makes a point of telling everyone that I am very lucky to be married, a point which I do not dispute, because I play, as she puts it, dork games.

If calling and seeing if they had the book was not enough to prove her love for me, she actually went and purchased it! Again you are probably thinking this isn’t a big deal, but apparently the booksellers at Barnes and Noble, which she used to be, look down upon and criticize the people that buy dork books. For her to brave the scrutiny of her peers was most definitely a testament of her love. Whether this was for me or her secret love of D&D, I do not know;-)

I’ve failed yet again to acquire a Wii on another Wii day;-( Stupid E-bayers.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything, and I’ve decided it was time I spruced up the place a bit and start posting again.

I sort of went on a mini-rant to Regan and Whitney earlier today about how New Year’s Resolutions don’t count until unless they are presented in a bullet pointed list, here are my New Year’s resolutions, in no particular order:

• Publish at least 52 posts this year and attempt to participate in this year’s NaBloPoMo (that is if they have it again).

  I pretty sure I can do the first part but the second part may be bit ambitious. But I figured I would at least attempt it.

• Go on a diet, get buffed, and take fencing lessons.

  After my plan of beating my brother senseless with a foam sword back fired on me, I figured it was time that I get in shape. I need the fencing lessons because my punk brother works construction and I have a desk job; there is no way I will be able to get stronger than him. Hopefully better swordsmanship will be able to defeat his berzerker rage.

• Acquire a Wii.

  I missed out on acquiring this past Christmas. It was my fault that I didn’t get one. Initially I thought I would build up some serious good karma by letting all the little kids that wanted one for Christmas get one before I did. What, surprised by my selfless act? Don’t worry it didn’t last long, my stance on the matter changed as soon as I played one. I think my exact statement was, “Screw the kids! I have to have one!” Plus the more I thought about it, it wasn’t me that would prevent some kid from getting one, it is those damn eBayers. All I had to do then was not buy one from eBay and I would not incur any bad karma. Since then I’ve been hunting for a Wii.

• Sort my Warlord collection

  It’s gotten out of control.

• Start cooking again

  Google has totally spoiled me when it comes to food. Since I’ve started working there I haven’t really been motivated to cook my own meals. Why would I when I have chefs that are better cooks than me, cooking three meals a day? But it turns out, I don’t actually eat three meals a day at Google. And the money that I thought I was saving was actually being spent on dining out at night and on the week-ends.

• Take more pictures

  Regan has taken control over all the camera’s in the house, which has led me to take less pictures in 2006. Not this year!

• Turn off the bathroom light

  Warning, this was put on my list by Regan and I might not get it accomplished;-) The fan in the bathroom comes on when you turn on the light. For some reason, that little fan is the only thing that can wake her up from her coma like sleep.

I’m playing D&D again and Regan gets curious every once and a while and asks me about it. Since she has never played before she doesn’t understand the point of the game. I made her watch the movie The Gamers to better explain it. I didn’t explain that it was a parody before she watched it. After she finished she said that she was glad that she didn’t come to our game sessions because she wouldn’t be able to stop laughing at us.

If you’re a reader of Jason’s blog you should feel very unloved. He doesn’t even care enough about you or his blog to tell everyone that he’s at a Gamer’s Convention this week.

I would say let the nerd jokes start, but it might be too easy for everyone. Jokes are always better when it’s a challenge to make them. Things that are easy are boring. Insert a “your mom” joke here.

Today marks the fifth anniversary of Warlord CCG. The game is moving into its second reset, Epic Edition, and it looking better than ever. If you love D&D you should check this game out.

I’ve personally been playing since the beginning of 2002 and love it! Unfortunately I haven’t been able to play in a while because my regular gaming group was disbanded when the storm spread us out across the country. Hopefully I will be able to revive Warlord in the Bay Area when we move back out there.
