Gen Con:
I won't go into much detail here since everyone else has con reports, but I will talk about a couple mods I went through.
MoH House of Madness- The last mod in the Delirium stone saga, this was an excellent mod with a good mix of investigation and exciting combat. The table was a great balance with my shifter, a warforged juggernaut, cleric, master inqusitive, and wizard. The last combat really had an epic feel to it which really gave us a major sense of accomplishment.
Greyhawk Special-I ended up at a slightly underpowered APL 6, with our only cleric playing up from 4. The first three combats were really fun, even though we were barely making it through them. I think each of us spent some time inside the strength sucking undead blob. However, when we met the ogre barbarian with a spiked chain we were clearly outclassed. It didn't take long for us to start dropping, so I just cast invis on myself and a corpse and got out of there quick. We ended up with three out of five dead with me as one of the survivors.
Random comments-everyone now knows about my KODT live read experience but I'll just add that I slightly cringed everytime the guy playing the little boy mispronounced my character's name(Croix-he said cro-icks). I stopped by the anime area after the live read to check out something a friend recommended, which was decent but nothing spectacular. I was gonna stay to watch something else but the ceiling over the anime area starting shaking like crazy and they had to temporarily evacuate that hallway, and I didn't bother to stick around. Apparently they had made the mistake of playing "Jump Around" at the Gen Con Dance, so they were a bunch of gamers jumping in rhythm directly above our heads. I think if they do the dance next year, I think they'll put it on the first floor somewhere or they just won't play songs that encourage jumping.
Holes in my mouth:
The Tuesday after GenCon I got all four of my wisdom teeth out. When I woke up after the surgery, I was still feeling kinda giddy for a while. In addition for atleast 24 hours my mouth was completely numb, making it a great feat just to eat chicken broth properly. What was really annoying was a couple days later one of my stitches partially detached detached but the other end was still hanging on, so I just a string dangling in the back of my mouth for a while. I pretty much healed now and can even eat crunchy stuff like chips again(speaking of which, garden salsa Sun Chips are the greatest chips ever).
School:
School this semester seems like it won't be too bad, but most of it will probably be a little more boring than usual. I kind of like having most of Tuesday and Thursday free, and the other days won't be any worse than high school, and I have a couple breaks in the day which are nice.
Accounting-Managerial accounting this semester. All we've done so far is basic management styles and ethics, but hopefully things will pick up soon. The teacher runs the class like a small classroom, which doesn't work in the auditorium at the College of Business.
American Culture-The material for this class actually seems interesting, and the class shouldn't be too hard. The teacher for this actually seems as if he wants to teach, unlike other teachers I've had who just want to talk at us.
English-Business writing. Not very exciting. The teacher is a graduate student, and it's obvious that she doesn't know how to teach a class.
Japanese-Don't expect to hear much about this class unless something especially interesting happens. Just assume I'm enjoying it.
That's all for now. Expect another update in four months.
