I just have the biggest grin on my face right now. I'm talking ear to ear (it hurts sooooo good). U.S.A. beat Can't-A-Duh in hockey world championship for bronze metal. I will skip around all day today like I'm floating on a cloud and proudly explain to anyone who asks why I have such a big grin on my face.

[Malankazooie]

Grin just got even bigger (if that is even possible). Vegas Golden Knights beat the WinnyPig Pets (from Can't-A-Duh) to advance to Stanley Cup finals.

Wow, what a bleak day for Canadian hockey fans. Must suck to be you.

I'm going to be an uncle!


I'm actually not allowed to tell anyone until the parents of the boyfriend of my sister get the news, but I hope no one here will tell them and ruin the surprise. I just have to tell it someone

Being an uncle is great ! I taught my nephews and nieces to use guns !

Enjoy

I taught my nephews to pile up some birdseed on the downside of a see-saw at the bottom of a plateau and then when their rival comes to peck at it, drop an anvil onto the other side of the see-saw, propelling the rival directly up to where they're waiting on the mesa with knife and fork in hand.

No experience with guns so I can't teach the first one, but the second one is definitly knowledge everyone should have. I will try to pass it on ^^

After maybe ten years away from the game, I'm getting back into Magic the Gathering.

My brother has a group that plays regularly in the Commander format (100 cards, no repeats of cards allowed, with one being a Commander that determines what colors the deck can be).

So I've been going down the rabbit warrens of figuring out quite a lot of cards, putting together three decks, and seeing what add ons I can make and afford. So far the results have been promising.

The best part is that my best deck is a tribute to Terry Pratchett called Wizzards and Gizzards (with Derevi the bird wizard as commander). I've received good feedback on this deck in that it's fun to play against.

[Gorefest]

Dont bother putting stuff together from your old decks. If there is one thing I learned is that 95% of the cards that used to be great are noe utterly useless. You get much more powerful stufffpr way less mana cost these days. And stupid new abilities that simply bypass or anull most of your awesome cards. That is how they keep selling.

[Gorefest]

Although my vampire deck still seems to do alright.

[amphibian]

My brother took nearly every card I/we had when I dropped out for so long and actually found that the best bits of yore can still be pretty good today - although we didn't have very many best bits in comparison to other people.

I'm never going to play Vampire or Zombie decks. Might do an Ooze tribal or Fungus tribal or go Nerset or Roon or Angels tribal.

Best cards that we had from a long time ago is probably the Elvish Piper plus Captain Sisay combo. They're all heavily played because we didn't use sleeves at all.

Hah! I just flipped on my dual lands too funny.. did the reasonably thing and turned my cash into a small hoard of board games.How’s that for a adult decision ! Winning.

Otherwise drafting is where’s it at anyhow. If I played I would do that. (I refuse to play 40k and MTG cause it’s claimed way to much of my life...)

Sidebar: Found Dune and Titan— played titan with my bro as a kid, gonna try to rematch him soon.

Dad is out of surgery! He's sitting up in a chair this morning and I can go see him tonight after work. I don't think I've ever been so relieved in all my life

[Slow Ben]

Awesome news!

[Mentalist]

Back home from cottage at a decent hour for once.

sunburnt, sleepy, exhausted, probably still mildly drunk.

Gonna crash hard most likely- but there's plenty of time to sleep everything off.

Made a nice accidental discovery!

When I was a child my parents used to do "stay on a farm" holidays in Devon and Dorset, and a particular one near Tiverton in Devon we kept returning to as we liked the area and grew to know the owners.

I was planning on a week in Devon next year for my 30th, as there's a centre offering horseback falconry experiences that I want to go to. Completely by chance I discovered the farm is still there, still offering self catering accommodation and it's the same couple still running it.

Guess where I'm going next year!

If there is any small glimmer of happiness I can take away from UCL title match today, it would be that Gareth Bale stole Ronaldo's shine. So nana-nana boo-boo, stick your head in doo-doo, Ronaldo.

[Tsundoku]

According to the new PC groupthink I probably should be all huffy and offended but I've been laughing for the last 5 minutes. This is gold.

My glimmer of happiness is that Liverpool lost! 😀 And yes Ramos is and has always been a bit of a thug. Should he have been sent off? Not 100% it kind of looked like it was a bit of a tussle between them. And I like Salah I feel for him, especially if he is missing the World Cup.

[Macros]

current readings are saying world cup is in doubt for him.
Because ramos is a fruitloop of Pepe proportions

I just got The Art of Solo book delivered.

It's...gorgeous. It has that lovely new book ink smell, and it is absolutely packed - unlike some of the more recent contributions.

I've only had a quick browse, but there's some great stuff in here. Can't wait to get into it later. If you ever get these 'Art of' books, this one's a must.

Out most of the day, biking and running errands.

Gorgeous scorching day (plus 26, feels like 32)

Only 1 week to go @ work before I switch to 4-day weeks for the summer.

And outdoor season starts this week.

I love summer

[Macros]

you mean you don't run your errands in a bikini?
