Business as Usual

I returned to my weekly RPG today, resuming the role of Canister the explosives guy. It turned out my character (who isn't very bright) had been "out getting pizza" for the entirety of the last session (while the real me wrote a thesis in Taiwan.) In tonight's developments, our team's computer specialist, Nelson, was shot in a UPS parking lot after flirting with a Russian arms dealer.

Refreshments, courtesy of Kaitlin, included cream-filled koala bear cookies and these little Japanese sodas with marbles in them. Mine was strawberry-flavored. Marbles were actually first used as bottle stoppers back in the 1870s; it apparently took a while for the idea to catch on. Someone showed them to me in Taiwan the other day, too, and said they were popular with children who like to collect the marbles.

The session ended a little early for me when I fell asleep on the floor. Darn jetlag.
