So when my boss's boss asked me to come to an unscheduled meeting in a few minutes, in a conference room near the front door, I saw the writing on the wall and prudently emailed myself a zipped up copy of the notes I'd been taking for the past year.

Turns out that after having decided I was a good fit for the company after a three month contract period, then nine months more as full time, suddenly I'm "not a good fit" because apparently I "don't take enough initiative in problem-solving".

I got married to @ZephonTsol on Pi Day, March 14, 2014. The reason I haven't posted sooner is that I was kinda waiting on everybody to send in their photos... buuuut that seems to be taking longer than I'd like to delay.

If Princess Luna was renamed "Nightmare Moon" after her bitterness and jealousy transformed her... and in the comics, Rarity was possessed by that same dark power... shouldn't she be called "Conflict Diamond"? Y'know, like from Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog?

*hugs for all*

Today, after a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner with his family, my wuffie proposed to me.

I said yes.

His ring was delayed and won't make it to shipping until after we get home. As for mine, well...

So... I thought I was going to be waiting on Pokémon X/Y, because I've reached that age where I have enough money to play all the games I want, but not the time...

Then yesterday while going through the mall after ordering Zephie's new glasses, he buys me Pokémon Y and himself Pokémon X. =^_^= Turned out more than half our gaming group had gotten it, too, so we spent most of the night playing that instead of D&D.

One: Someone may have already done this, but... sow chaos by getting Tara Strong to sign a picture of Captain Picard and Patrick Stewart to sign a picture of Twilight Sparkle, since both of their characters were menaced by a character played by John DeLancie.

Two: Using the old-style designations for the six flavors of quark, one can draw a correspondence with the Mane Six as follows:

Up: Rainbow Dash
Down: Fluttershy
Strange: Pinkie Pie
Charm: Twilight Sparkle

So, as many of you might know already, the 1.2 patch for Terraria dropped Tuesday (or for us Pacific timezoners, late Monday evening), releasing a MASSIVE content update including hundreds of items and several new biomes. I started an entirely new character, theming the coloring on Twilight Sparkle because I planned to take advantage of the new early-game magic gear available. The only thing I took from pre-1.2 worlds was a Lucky Horseshoe (because I dislike falling damage) and a GPS which I

I got to attend some pony panels, some non-pony panels, and meet up with Chatoyance and Aedina for... nearly all of Friday! Games were played. Fun was had. Next year I'm getting a hotel room to cut back on the WAY TOO MUCH travel time now that I'm no longer living in the U District.

Also I got today off work, so I'm watching the Equestria Girls DVD. And I had a funny idea...

Last night I finished running a D&D4e campaign based on My Little Pony.

Only, it was very non-obvious that it was so. It was a mini-campaign set in the world of The Tiding, a Waterworld-style existence where 200 years since the rising of the seas had given D&D-style medieval fantasy society a chance to rebuild.
