Mitigation Factor
by Jon on Mar.15, 2009, under General
In relation to something I said earlier, concerning playing with kid’s card games, I have at least this to say in my defense:
The next day I saw three twentysomeodd kids playing Magic: The Gathering on their table at Arby’s.
If I am childish and stuck with immature interests, the least I can say is that I’m not alone.
The Ground Attacks

So. I tried snowboarding for the first time yesterday.
I suck.
Also, now I hurt and am sore.
I think that, if I was as good at snowboarding as I was at skiing, I would probably prefer it by a long shot, but I’m not there yet.

So I went over to my friend’s house today, and while I was there, he and another friend spent a considerable amount of time discussing the various details of their plans to acquire every Pokémon in the latest Pokémon game. They talked about how he had a Whoosher and he hard a hard time getting the Kiglebat and how he needed the Bellittlebox to make the Showlinxtre evolve. (Yeah I’m making that part up, but only because I can’t remember the details; this is the only point of mitigation that I can claim on this post.)
After that was over we whipped out ye many-years-old Yu-Gi-Oh card game decks, and not only did we have a crazy couple battles, one in which I cleaned up against the other players and one in which I barely pinched by on the wire, but we actually managed to show some semblance of remembering the rules!
What a handful of 20+ year old males have business doing either of those, I don’t know, even if it’s fun.

Don’t tell anyone we hoped to date, okay?

So, my DDR pads, you know, the ones my friend and I built from scratch? (Todo, post pages on them.)
Yeah, they broke – again. Okay, one still works fine but the other isn’t. That makes me angry. Pissed. Unhappy.

Hyper HT
Complete all your home teaching on the first day of the month.
Date completed: 3/1/2009
Details:
My home teaching companion is usually pretty good about scheduling some appointments for the first or second week of the month. Well, this week he managed to get all but one of our families scheduled ahead of time. Then we lost a family as things got rearranged and worked another family into the time slot. Then we have to move an appointment back because someone was ill, so we were able to get the final individual scheduled at the start. All appointments went through.
That was interesting.
And good.
