Nice! Dino's are best tribe in Ixalan!
Excuse me, sir, do you have a minute to talk about your lord and savior, Hannibal Barca?

Yeah, if the pagans are so smart, why did Jesus invade Pagan-land on the back of a dragon and kill them all!

Powered out 245 pound squats like it ain't even a problem today in the gym. Might have something to do with my 315 pound max - though I may have to test for a new max squat weight.

Got Path of Fire for Guild Wars 2 a couple days ago and I'm having far, FAR too much fun carving a bloody swath through Balthazar's army.

Got my student aid refund, today.  Got a new shirt, some pyjama shorts, and a sleep mask for napping.  All were good purchases!

Congratulations!
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

Lunch: Eggplant linguine with mozzarella.

Damn that was good.

My personal trainer Mitch says I am on track to be just like him in time for Summer - basically 220 pounds accounting for him being 6'4 and 260 pounds and me being 6'0.

Really a great thing to hear. I've always wanted to look like Mitch.

I helped restore democracy to Vancouver.

Longer version: A year or two ago, the Vancouver School Board (popularly elected by voters in the city) was fired by the provincial government for failing to pass a balanced budget and replaced with a single provincially-appointed administrator.

This year, a by-election was called to elect a new board to finish the balance of the term. (Also, one spot on City Council recently became vacant, and we also voted to fill that seat.)

And I just got home from voting. (One of the candidates is a post-op transwoman who is a former sex worker. She used to run a brothel for transwomen sex workers, and complained when it was shut down as a "common bawdy house," because there "wasn't anything common about it." I've never not voted for her--except maybe once when I voted a partisan centre-left slate to keep the right-wing party from controlling the various boards again--and while she hadn't run for a while because she realized her history was too controversial, apparently she's decided that society's changed enough that her past isn't a detriment any more. I hope she gets elected; I think her point of view will be a valuable one on the school board.)

Actually happened 2 days ago, but by some miracle the SNES themed special edition of the New 3DSXL didn't sell out immediately, even though Nintendo seems to only make 3 of any given product and then never make any more ever again, (which kind of implies the 3DS is dying, probably a combination of the Switch sort of making it obsolete and everyone getting sick of re-buying a DS every couple of years).  So I managed to get myself one, consolation for not being able to get a SNES mini, and have been playing the shit out of Diddy's Kong Quest AKA the best game ever made and I will fight you if you disagree.

Some might say spending nearly £180 on an obsolete console just for the privilege of buying a 20+ year old game for the 3rd time in my life to play it on a device that's painted to look like a squished version of another obsolete console is madness.  But I say fuck you, it's Diddy's Kong Quest and my DS looks like a SNES.
