That is now how I shall picture every lycanthrope in the game

I love Texanisms:

"Mind your ma, boy." - Said to a man in his forties

"Hold my beer."

"Ma'am." *tips Stetson*
(tipping a Stetson is the polar opposite of tipping a fedora)

"Well Gawd bless."

Also learned that in Texas, it is legal for a minor to drink if under the direct supervision of his/her parent, guardian, or spouse. Of course it is.

Jensen

That actually sounds more socially responsible than assuming someone won't drink because a law set an arbitrary number as a standard for maturity

@Omei While it is legal to let your child drink as long as you are there. They can still be refused service based on the policy of the restaurant if that makes you feel better :P

@Haern, for finding the Dragon 2 trailer and posting it here. Because I went and finally saw it last night with friends and IT WAS AMAZING!!!! I'm getting it on DVD when it comes out. The only weird thing is looking at everyone's faces after five years. Looking at hiccup from movie 1 to 2 is like watching Daniel Radcliff in HP 3 and HP7A. Weird. About same age range though.

If I go to another kids movie though, doing it a later time, never was in the theatre with that many kids at the same time since I was young enough to see Lion King in theatre when it came out. Holy crap. They talk.

One of the kids cried towards the end of the movie. Poor kid, I felt so bad, and if I was that age I'd have cried too, but I was trying so HARD not to giggle at him.

Haern

I went with about 4 families and a smattering of solo movie goers on Tuesday. The movie was really fantastic and just like the last entry deals with heavy themes beyond death/loss.

Moirean

It's a gorgeous day out.

Going berry picking tomorrow. Gonna make pies.

Finally got a nice dresser to stash my clothing in.

Decided to quit smoking.

Ashmer

Martial arts.

I know I've been doing jump kicks when my pants are a touch tighter this week than last. Finally feels like I'm making up for the two and a half years I spent at a desk 65-70 hours a week.

Rashar

Wait home made pies?

@moirean, you know I'm just a couple of hours away right? Right?

I mean, I don't even like pie, because man, so sweet. It's like a jelly filled donut. But home made?!

Haern

Flopping down on my back porch, feeling like crap, and having my cat dutifully cuddle next to me. Mah boo.

Rashar

@Ashmer‌

Do more squats. You know you've succeeded when you have to buy pants 3 sizes too big on the waist to fit your legs.

And danishes. I found a recipe I want to try with the fresh berries. ^_^ We'll probably be having at least one pie that's more tart, I don't like the super super sweet stuff either.

*fills up tank*

*hops on the 5*

.. Creepin..

Moirean

We should have another Portland meet, whenever you really do have time. Aarbrok and Aryanne are both in the area!

Can confirm. Source: had to squat a lot while doing temp work as a carpenter, can now leap small buildings with a single bound

I'm just working on general fitness and perfecting my angled kicks right now, but that's a good idea.

Lucky. My cat has resting angry face syndrome. Except replace 'angry' with 'Satan' - she looks like she's about to murder me any time she looks towards me.

Rashar

Squatting and deadlifts are probably the most overlooked lifts, but I cannot express enough how vital they are if you really, really want to become strong and fit. People don't do them because squatting fucking hurts the next day, if you're not used to it. But if you want explosive power and speed, there literally isn't a better way to build it.

@moirean I tried to get @aarbrok down to Portland last time I was there and he said, 'Hayl naw!'. I messaged you as well, and you were like that dood is a creep.

Ishin

I personally prefer squatting my own bodyweight to squatting 300+ pounds. I used to do that, and it's just too much, imo. Squat your bodyweight, or converse you can lean on the wall in a seated-like position with your legs bent at a 90. Puts a hurting on you mighty quick.

Moirean

No, I said that I had just been out hanging out with Akary/Eleanor the week before and had no cash. :P

Maite

@Ashmer +1 for martial arts. My previous roommates ran a Kyokushin style dojo and I had free lessons. I really miss going. Envious.

For my love - my two days of 12 hour shifts are over, with sizeable payouts both days. I was able to buy myself some of the steam sales for games I really wanted.

My youngest sister is getting married next Saturday, to a pretty awesome guy. It's also the first day of Ramadan this year, so I am doubly excited! I get to see my brother after almost a year because he was shipped overseas military wise, because he is coming to the wedding.

Can it be next Saturday please?

Aryanne

Love 1: All ya'll loves. It just makes me all happy to see you all so happy!

Love 2: Today is the 1st day of my new work schedule! For the first time in 3(ish) years, I will ONLY work 5 days a week -and- I will be getting 2 days off in a row! I'll have time to do unicorns! During office hours!

WHO WANTS A WEST COAST MEET!? I COULD ATTEND IT NOW!

Ingram

Sure! Let's host it in Anchorage.

Aarbrok

@Rashar Yeah I was pretty much in the same boat, I was out of money after hotel rooms, dinners, drinking....I did tell you though if you gave me a bit more notice I would love to hang out and buy you a drink or four

Rashar

@aarbrok Well I stopped drinking, so I'd probably be a big ol' bore. But I'm down to meet up, for sure. I'm in Oly, not far at all from most of you.

@ishin - Air squats, body weight squats, they're all good for accessory muscles, warm-ups, or burning out. If you want power, you need to lift powerfully. Alternatively, if you're not down to do reps between the 3-400 range, you can do higher sets of lower weight. I vary it up, to be honest. Some days I'll come in and do 5 or 6x3 at like, 315 or something, the next time I'll come do 5x5, or even 4x8, obviously scaling weight as necessary.

There is also the vastly underrated front squat, which will just rock your socks with much less weight. When I was doing a 3 rep max of 405 on back, I was doing roughly 325 on front, again for 3. It really does matter a lot on your body type, though. If you're a skinny bastard or a tall bird, it'll be much harder. I'm 5'8" and some change, and I weigh between 205-215 depending on how heavy I've been lifting. I'd probably squat a lot heavier if I focused on it, and didn't also have to worry about being fast and having good endurance capabilities.

Aarbrok

I dont drink either really, stomach issues.

We can however go get wings at fire on the mountain and do dude things...
The manliest variety of course. Plus you just seem like a cool guy.

Rashar

Dude we'll totally do man things. We'll go to the range and shoot the fuck out of some pistols. Then we'll go grunt and oggle strippers for the requisite 15 minutes before they kick us out for not buying drinks. After that, it's definitely got to be a game of full contact football with a group of teenagers, after which we'll groan for days and pretend to not be in pain. We'll wrap the night up by watching the most manliest of action movies while pointedly -not- sharing popcorn or a drink, and setting with a seat between us.

So manly. So. Much. Man.

Aarbrok

^ all the man, and unicorns sharing popcorn.

...Man I havent played a game of football in a while, used to go meet up with old friends from high school and do it during the spring every year. West Coast meet, light vs dark football game....

THIS NEEDS TO BE A THING.
