Re: The cranky thread *laughing* As a general rule, a little heat doesn't bother me, but when my BEDROOM is 95 degrees, this is not my idea of fun. But oddly enough, I sleep better when it's cold (most likely because of the lung problems, hot = muggy = major asthma/breathing problems). Otherwise, heat is just fine. And I will accept the compliments without harassing you... much. Michelle aka Samuraiko

Re: The cranky thread I have this insane urge to bring a wiffleball bat to work and start whacking the supervisors every time they start yelling across the call center. I also have this insane urge to buy a bag of gourmet potato chips, a box of Godiva chocolate truffles, a bottle of a really good (really STRONG) red wine, call in to work tomorrow, and watch all the DVDs of the Goku-Majin Vegeta battle back-to-back.

Re: The cranky thread To those who've sent well wishes, yes, I am finally over the worst of it, went back to work today. Had to take a lot of care with my voice not to blow it out on my first day back, but seems to be all right. Tired a lot, though. *takes a moment to hit Tim with a pillow* Things go rolling on along though, thank God it was fairly slow today at work (so the supervisors weren't going around yelling, "Come on, get the call queue down!"), actually worked on my website a bit while on the phones (the joys of waiting on hold for people). Got an online store now. I actually wish I had a jacuzzi, but I want it filled with COOL water, not hot... just to sit back and relax... God, I hope I get more than five hours of sleep tonight, but that's not bloody likely, the damned AC went out again. It's almost 90 in our apartment right now. Michelle aka Samuraiko

Re: The cranky thread Thank God I'm finally getting over this... although I slept something like fifteen hours today. Went to bed at 9pm, slept til 7am, got up, stayed awake til 9am, went back to sleep til 3pm. And I don't know if it's the blood pressure meds or the antibiotics, but I am THIRSTY! Who's for drinks over at the Travis's place? BYOB! We'll throw on anime and bad movies and yap about gaming til 3am! Michelle aka Samuraiko

Re: The cranky thread Oh joy of joys... After a much needed doctor's visit on Thursday, turns out that I have a double case of sinusitis and bronchitis. So I got to take a note to work saying I'm out til at least Monday. *groan* To make matters worse, for reasons not-quite-known, I'm currently sporting a blood pressure of 150/100, so for a month I'm on high blood pressure meds to try and bring them back down. God, I hope I still have a job on Monday... Michelle aka Samuraiko

Re: What Are You Listening To Right Now? "New Age I" from the computer game MahJongg Master 6 Amazingly cool music for a game! Michelle aka Samuraiko

Re: A Thread for Random Musings I made my first t-shirt on CafePress.com last week, and it got here today! AND IT LOOKS FRICKIN' AWESOME! *does the MegaMan happy dance* Next step, add a link from my website to the online store, where I also designed buttons, magnets, t-shirts, and other neat stuff...

Re: Anime Champions?

Re: The cranky thread Too sick to handle the flight to Hawaii... day 3 of work missed. No voice left whatsoever. This is getting ridiculous. Michelle aka Samuraiko

Re: Anime Champions? Another great one for running a long-term campaign in (I think) is the world of SAMURAI 7 (I just got Volume 1 last night, and man it kicks major butt so far). John nearly flattened me with a pillow for referring to it as ROKUGAN 40K, but it's actually quite good, and the whole world makes for a great setting, I think! (I also think that the initial fight between Kanbe and Kyuzo was a great reference in how my L5R character and John's would be fighting it out...) Hey, Susano, you're the uber-anime-geek, have you seen it yet? What'dya think? Michelle aka Samuraiko

Re: The cranky thread Argh... what did I do to deserve this? Got clobbered Sunday with a cold (yes, even in August in Phoenix one can still catch a cold), which now has turned into full-blown laryngitis on top of it. Which of course makes doing phone support nearly impossible, so that's two days of work down the tubes. However, I have gotten a few emails that will turn into sales (I also check my work mail from home) so the days won't be total losses, but still... I can only pray I'm not going to miss tomorrow as well, I'll get killed if I do. Michelle aka Samuraiko

Re: Anime Champions? Goku getting whaled on by the villain of the saga for 2-7 DVDs and surviving. Until he voluntarily commits suicide. For example: Everyone knows how to fly. Everyone (except Krillin) knows that to fly you must concentrate. Like ChiChi showing up to harass poor Gohan and Goku. Or Master Roshi trying to be tough and failing miserably. Unless you're Trunks. Or even Yajirobe. Although I think you should have negative Presence if you're doing the whole "I am [whoever], this can't be happening to ME!" Also very true. Michelle aka Samuraiko

Re: The cranky thread I swear, if I ever win the lottery, I'm hiring a full-time masseuse. And it's not quite cranky, more like depressingly morose... I have started getting back responses from the 'con coordinators about advertising there, and I realize that I have NOWHERE near the kind of money it would take to really get the word out. (For example, the event coordinator at Ubercon VI just wrote back, and for a business-size b/w ad in the program is $350!!! ARGHHHH!!!!) Although, thankfully, to advertise at I-CON and AC3 for the same type of ad is $35 and $65, respectively, much more affordable. Maybe I should offer a free t-shirt to any Hero member going to a con to take my flyers with me... nope, strike that, I don't have enough money for that, either. Michelle aka Samuraiko

Re: The cranky thread If John says it's okay for you to come over to work on my back, then you can come by! Michelle aka Samuraiko

Re: The cranky thread Not quite cranky, but definitely amused/puzzled... The MagicNinjas.com thread that Shadowpup started has mysteriously gone bye-bye. Although I AM cranky about the supervisors at work having a SHOUTING MATCH NOT THREE FEET FROM MY CHAIR! Grrrrrrr... And my shoulder is killing me. I think I need at least five or six different people to come out and work on it, John's only got so much upper body strength... Michelle aka Samuraiko

Re: The cranky thread I still think they're just jealous. I don't blame you at all. And again, I really do appreciate that you tried... it's more than most would do. Michelle aka Samuraiko
