Job interview went well! I might be going back to work sooner than expected!

Wait, you're no longer trucking? How will you be takin' 'er easy for all us sinners from now on?

Easy! Assuming I actually get hired, I'll become a professional chauffeur. Driving limos for folks all over the place in a suit and tie.

Amberly raised a hand when Margaret asked for questions.

: "Are there any restricted areas on this vessel? I would like to see this 'gravy-toe-metric' system that makes it move."

I send my army out to scout.
Enemy army gets around my army somehow and captures one of my cities without a fight.
I move my army back, bringing in a second army from a second city. The two armies attack my captured city at the same time.
It's a knock-down drag-out bloodbath. I outnumber the enemy nearly 2-1, but their army is almost entirely composed of powerful Tier 3 units, plus the enemy leader. They also have those nice walls I spent time and money building. The enemy leader summoned stupidly powerful fireballs every turn, dealing massive amounts of unavoidable damage. By the end of the battle, I had only two units left: a near-death low-tier magic initiate and the hero who lead the two armies. The hero actually fell during the battle, but he had an ability that would bring him back to life if his army won anyway.
So I have my city back. I immediately order the training of additional units to replace my losses.
And then the city is attacked. By another army of Tier 3 units. These ones can fly, rendering my walls useless. They can also use some sort of curse ability that hits my hero unit from a ridiculous distance and through the walls.
I struggle valiantly, but my pitiful "army" falls without slaying a single enemy unit. The city is lost (again) and the hero dies for good this time.
Oh right. The hero was mission-critical. Game over, time to restart the campaign map.

Instead of spending Singles Awareness Day moping about, I'm gonna go bowling with the family

I recently picked up a sci-fi something called the Expanse trilogy, by a James S. A. Corey. It was on a whim; I had a bookstore gift card and it covered the price nicely. Haven't yet gotten around to starting it though ._.

I'll come back and fill in some more later. Too sleepy to start listing books.

: "Sure, let's surrender. If we're lucky we'll be thrown back into Strohnban to rot. More likely, they'll execute us as soon as possible."

Gril asked me for my number and I was like "I'm sorry I don't trust you not to be crazy."

Wrong thread maybe. It was awkward.

Was it charcoal or propane? Maybe wood chip?
