Today was a good day at work. The lunchtime workout was good, too. I maxed my bench press at 185 pounds. Granted, I only got three reps out of it, but it’s still more than my body weight. That makes me happy.

Tonight was Shadowrun game night. I think that I’m just about done with this arc. Once again, the group’s rather “creative” gameplay led to a couple of interesting situations. But, they did a good job of preparing for and executing their objective.

Quote of the Day

: You really are trying to kill me…
I turn down the heater in the car
: I am freezing! I have been cold all day. And if you tell me “You should have taken your coat, I’ll kick you.”
I think this over
: You should have taken your coat.
: You can’t do that! When I threaten you, you can’t challenge me on it. Because if I don’t go through with it, it makes the threat so much less effective.”
: You should have taken your coat.
: *glare*
I stifle a comment
: What?!
: Nothing…
: No… what was it?!
:No, because if I tell you, you will kick me.
: I will not kick you.
: I was thinking, “It’s like talking to a brick wall.”
: *GASP* It is not! Do you know what the difference between talking to me and a brick wall is?
I wait…
: A brick wall will hear you. I mean… it won’t hear you!

I laughed for the next 20-something odd blocks as she tried to correct herself.
