Wheels

I got wheels! Well, 4 of them anyway. And attached to a chassis no less. That's right my semi-faithful-yet-salvaged-6cyl.-boat finally bit the dust. A moment for our beloved companion.... I guess it was time to begin searching for something a little newer and more reliable. And so, Tadaa! Allow me to present my replacement: 2006 Toyota Corolla. I haven't decided on a name for him/her? yet. We'll see I suppose. Although my named cars seem to be happier and last longer than my un-named cars. Perhaps something about a storm? I dunno, I felt the hairs on my neck stand up when I took this picture...

Summer Weather

So it's summer, and the weather is beginning to act like it! All these wonderful evenings and weekends. What to do first? Fortunately, I've had the bunnies compile a list of summery activities:

Let's see what they came up with:

Apple Drone
Did you know Apple came up with their own drone?? And it's free! Simply get yourself an old kite and some string. Tie an apple to the kit and let it hang about 10 feet down. Then fly the kite. Poof! Instant drone.

Paper Airplane contest
Fly paper airplanes in your office between visits. don't worry! No one will notice. For bonus points, draw a pokemon on the airplane. Then watch someone swipe their phone to try to catch it!

Skateboarding
What's more fun than skateboarding? Standing around with a skateboard looking cool! Make a skateboard out of paper mache and get yourself a pair of sunglasses.

Gardening
Find a community garden. Locate someone's plant that is dying, or not doing well. Bring a bag of tiny marshmellows. Turn it into a marshmellow bush! A few days later, swap the tiny marshmellows out for large ones. Or, get a small money tree for work. Every day, add some pennies to it, then nickles, then quarters.

Pokemon Go
Everyone's playing it right? So get yourself some small red or white balloons, fill them water, and paint them to look like pokeballs!

Ant Farm
Make your very own ant farm! get a clear container, fill it with peanut butter, and add raisins.  Grab a spoon and start nomming your ant farm when people go by.

Surfing Class
Find a swimsuit, and a large board that might pass for a surfboard. Wear your sunglass and get a table set up in a parking lot. Claim your giving out free surfing lessons. When they ask where the ocean is, just say "We're waiting for the tsunami wave, brah"

Movie snacks
Some people make popcorn for their movie snack. Since it's summer, that might heat up the house. Make cookie dough instead, and just eat it raw! If you're brave, bring it to the movie theatre hiding in a bag.

Have Fun!

Numenera Starts!

Good Afternoon my loyal readers!

Late March, you may have seen a post in regards to our new rpg game centering around a circus. Well just last Sunday we had our first session with our new characters, and I must say, it went great! My new character is a little tricky to play, as my nature is somewhat contradictory to his, but that will make him all the more fun to play I think. He is a little rash, a perfectionist, and appears to be now leading a circus. Here is his first journal entry:

3rd Circus Day 1. After 6 months traveling and looking for a lead role in a circus, I have stumbled across a small circus hailing from the city of Nilesh, about 200 miles south of Draolis. I have been traveling with 2 circuses before finding this one. Both were reluctant to allow me a greater role in their leadership. I did however, enjoy the actor's company. Especially Swarq. I shall miss her violin playing skills. And Sharg. His fire breathing display was something to behold. His temper often got the better of him though. He was at times hard to work with.

Got to meet our benefactor/sponsor Gayv-oreth this evening. He looks just like Jabba the Hut! Whoever that is. Seems to be jolly, and easy to please. I am thankful for that, for he asked me to perform on the spot as the Ringleader!! I was ecstatic, but very flustered. I do not do well under pressure, and am very much a perfectionist. I fell on my face so to speak, my improtu comedy act was a failure, I didn't know the abilities of my performers, and did not know how to arrange the acts. It came off okay though, Gayv-oreth seemed to approve and that's what matters. I am looking forward to proving to him conclusively that I am well-qualified for the job, and plan to put forth all my effort into getting this circus into shape. I do not know if this circus is the one I want to use to bring glory back to my homeland, but this is the only one I have found that will give me a ringleader position.

So far I have met Marbel, who performs feats of strength, Rain, in charge of animals, Layla, a fortune teller of whom I know little, and the magician. The last seems a little unbalanced, but talented magician's are rare to find. I shall have to learn to work with him.

I must cut this short as I need to see to the rest of the circus...

We meet again in a week! I look forward to keeping you all updated. That’s all for now! Ta’
