Psychotomy

So, there’s been a few things that I haven’t posted about. Either too small for their own post, or I forgot when it was timely and amusing and now it’s just old, or whatever …

At Kiir’s brother’s graduation, the night we drove up we went out to japanese. First off — DK does NOT appear to like the noise and general ruckus of the hibachi time. While they were cooking the food, instead of participating in “catch the block of whatever out of the air like a good seal, youk youk” i took DK on a walk around the restaurant. twice. It was quite the tedious :o

Also that night, her brother insisted on Saki Bombs. Which, look like a variation on a boiler maker. I’m told it’s like a japanese irish car bomb (wow, this won’t get me weird google hits at ALL). You drop a shot of Saki into a glass of Sapporo (which might just be a japanese brand rather than type, i think). Except you’re supposed to balance the shot on a pair of crossed chopsticks, and then bang the table to jar it loose. Or something. DK stole my chopsticks, and the hard stone table was set into the floor, so it wasn’t working for anyone else that way they had to manually move the chopsticks :o Anyway, then you chug it. My and the guy sitting next to me were “amateurs” b/c we neither of us knew wtf a Saki Bomb was. So we got full glasses of beer with our shot. The “hardcore pros” (brother in law) got barely enough beer to submerge the shotglass :o

A few weeks ago, after the hospital trip, it came out that DK likes Black Olives. My mom got a slice of olive and sausage pizza for dinner ,and gave him an olive. And when she went to give him another one a little bit later, she almost lost a finger because she held on too long :o he’s had 3 cans of olives in the last 2 weeks. Maybe more.

Kiir and I are trying out D&D4e with the Keep on the Shadowfell, the prebuilt adventure that release with skimmed rules for people to try out the new ruleset before full release. (PVP and Penny Arcade gave it a shot and are podcasting the 8-hr session in chunks at WotC ; Kiir — don’t listen to it until I tell you we’ve gotten ahead of it !!!) Of course, we’re doing it on a forum, and it’s built for 5 PCs and a GM. I’m GM and 2, she’s the other 3 PCs … yeah, there might be a few flaws in the plan.
