Grrrrrhhh...
I'm seriously starting to suspect that the GM in our weekly WoD (Changeling: The Lost, to be specific) gaming group has a chip on his shoulder when it comes to my character. Last time my character and another ran into a car bomb. They both get seriously burnt - the other guy's character is healed for free by an ally; mine is scarred and loses so many fingers he now has the One-Arm flaw.
Today, then, the GM burdens me with a magic cup that makes my character a raging alcoholic AND hooks me up with an Addiction flaw, just when I got rid off one
I know I'm probably paranoid, but the way he keeps stacking shit on my character feels like he's treating me as the group's butt monkey. Gah!

Two days of no pay, stomach hates me, can't eat.
Next time I wake up on a weekday morning and don't feel like going to work, I must think of these past two days.
Also, next time I miss my disease-bag little cousins and want to go visit, I must think of these past two days.

I've actually seen that myself the last couple weeks. There's a bar here in town that has Taco Tuesdays, where you can get 4 tacos for 2 bucks with the purchase of a drink.
And I saw people criticizing the tacos.
THEY ARE 50 CENTS EACH.
They weren't the greatest tacos I'd ever had but goddamn! I got a pint of domestic, 8 tacos and left a tip with 10 bucks.

The other day, someone was criticizing a new Taco Place that just opened. It is a high end type place that uses shredded beef/chicken/pork or Grilled/Fried Tilapia. She said that the seasoning is not right. I told her to give it some time, I think the new cook will figure that out. Then she said that she would rather eat Taco Bell...
I was a bit surprised by that choice since it costs the same, and at least you know what you are eating at the new place. Then when we got back to the office I found the news about Taco Bell not even selling real meat, and forwarded the article...

Yeah I live in South Texas. Our real taco to fake taco ratio is fantastic. -grin-
There are 16+ Mexican Food Restaurants in my town of around 20,000. Spice does not make up for variety.

I was thinking about that, too... For instance selling that cursed cup. But I have to admit, part of me is afraid that the GM is just planning to use that to screw me up even further. *sighs* I don't mind adversities... what I do mind when the GM uses my character as a goddamn whipping boy.

Heh, my character is a member of the Spring Court, also known as the Court of Desires. Being a manwhore is somewhat accepted

I'm going to take a moment to mourn Jane Russell
No no... what you need to do is sell away your ability to get drunk. The cup might not sell, but the ability to be intoxicated? Someone is definitely going to want that.

Hmm... an interesting idea, but I'm not sure if it would be thematically okay. The character I'm playing is, as mentioned, of the Spring Court so selling away an ability to enjoy one facet of life seems like giving away your thunder.
Also it doesn't help that my character is a barkeep
Perhaps, but giving away one facet of your life in order to enhance the rest of it seems perfectly in line. You'd be able to savor and enjoy alcohol longer and better than you ever could before, without the intoxication causing you to forget such luxuries in the morning. In other words, you'd be trading the ignorant bliss of an alcoholic for the chance to achieve the fulfilling enlightenment of a gourmand!Hmm... an interesting idea, but I'm not sure if it would be thematically okay.

I tried contacts for about a week. Hated the entire feeling.

I hate that! It is also weird having something lost in my eye.
My mini rant is this chick who came to speak at our class today gave me the creeps. She was all skinny and spindly. She was like a cross between Audrey from Little Shop of Horrors, Spiker from James and Giant Peach and the Mouth of Sauron (because she had this really bizarre wide mouth). I am going to have nightmares about that lady.
She was very nice though.
Oh man that is the worst thing. It just puts you in a bad mood for the rest of your morning ritual doesn't it?
I hate to crap angry...
Ugh I started feeling sick yesterday for no apparent reason. I woke up feeling fine and as the day progressed my stomach started hurting. I figured it was becuase I hadn't eaten anything that day so I grabbed some lunch and boy was that a mistake. After eating my stomach just kept getting worse and worse went. I spent last night resting so I could make it to work today and luckily i did but my stomach is still mad at me and I have been having egg burps even though I haven't eaten any eggs for ages. In fact I haven't eaten anything since yesterday. I just got over being sick a week or so ago and I really don't want to be sick again.
