The wax was one of a series of recent attempts to have more adventures. Periodically I feel myself stagnating and want to make some drastic change, which is when I usually either chop off my hair or move. Since I don't want to do either of those things, I'm looking for other ways to shake things up. I've been compiling a list of "adventures" I want to have. So far I've thought of:
- Get something waxed
- Go rock climbing
- Train for and complete a half marathon
- Wear bright lipstick...in public
- Take a Web Design class
- Try a martial arts class
Anybody have any other recommendations?
So the first hit to my point total came from an adventure wax. As for the second...what can I say? Dragon Age is awesome! I killed like a million zombies and dark spawn and also got my character to date this guy:
I know he doesn't look like much, but he's quite charming.
This week isn't off to the most auspicious start, as for my final FHE (got released yesterday!) we decided to do a liquid nitrogen ice cream party. My friend Chris mixed up a bunch of ice cream flavors, and then my friend Todd added liquid nitrogen to them to freeze the ice cream instantly.
It was super cool and delicious and I had to try every flavor, obviously. After today, though, things should go better.
Firstly, I think it's awesome that you have friends that can mix you ice cream and acquire (I hope you know that is standard military terminology for well, "having something you didn't have before" that is beneficial to the group)Nitrogen.
ReplyDeleteSecondly, Alistar is awesome. I'm replaying the game as an evil character and I'm a little sad he has to hate me. Have you done the Redcliff quest yet? cause you learn more about him there. (plus I haven't tried a female character, I didn't consider the options that opened up)
Also in the spirit of Dragon Age I propose XP rewards for your adventures i.e. Quests
Apparently liquid nitrogen is ludicrously inexpensive (and extremely easy to make), so most scientists just have it on hand all the time. Also, supposedly the technical term for this type of cooking is "molecular gastronomy."
ReplyDeleteYeah, I did the Redcliff quest first, so I'm out looking for the ashes right now. This is my first time through on the game, so I'm playing your general good-guy/hero type lady noble warrior. I was SUPER excited when the romance options opened up because Alistair is awesome and definitely on my list of all-time attractive fictional characters. He's such a neat character all around.
I'm planning to replay it as a Dalish rogue who will be fairly evil (once I finish as this character). I'm sad that Alistair will probably hate her, but Morrigan will probably like her more and Morrigan is awesome too, so I guess that evens out. Right now I can't take Morrigan with me into cities because she disapproves of all the do-goodery sidequests I keep accepting.
Yes! XP rewards! I must decide what they allow me to level up...
