What's everyone up to right now?

On a whim and spurred by glowing reviews, I got Diablo IV.   I have to say I am mystified by what the attraction of the game is.    It is boring and endlessly repetitive, and it’s style of game play is clearly designed to operate within constraints of 1980s computer hardware, all it did was to upgrade the graphics without actually taking advantage of modern computing power to expand game play.

I was considering buying it at a later date, but the co-op part has been restraining me. I'm a solo gamer.

I'm a fan of D1 and D2 but they lost me at 3 and IDNGAF one eentsy bit about 4, but if it's like the rest of the franchise it has a solo play mode.

I had passed on Diablo II due to some lukewarm reviews and only got Diablo III. But someone else said that was crazy, so I researched some more and got Diablo II as well.

For now, I'm enjoying an endless fest of senseless killing in Diablo III.

Just ordered school supplies for granddaughter since her mom is unable to work for a while. Older daughter bought backpacks for both kids. Going to help the other grandmother as much as possible.

Found a good deal on a 10 lb. bag of Kohinoor brown basmati rice online. $32 shipped. And the seller is well-rated. It's a little store in New Jersey that specializes in Indian food and stuff.

Second day of orientation today. The facility seems to be a good fit for me. I'm just a bit concerned about doing the evening shift since I first started in this field I've only ever done overnight. I'll have three days of floor orientation, at least.

Reading about black rice and ordering some off Amazon. It's been a rice week. 20 lbs. of Royal Basmati, 10 lbs. of Kohinoor brown Basmati, and now a pound of black rice.

At Ravinia watching Elvin Bishop and Charlie Musselwhite.

Took my daughter to archery practice. There was this little girl there, probably three, filling her wellies up with rocks. Watched her do it, had a whole conversation. Super cute, reminded me of mine when they were that small. She wandrer over to her mom. Can't get the boots off - too many rocks. I say "well, we could hold her up and shake em out". Everyone laughs. Mom spends a few more minutes trying to pick out the rocks. Looks up at me... So I end up holding a baby upside down to get the rocks out of her boots.

At this exact moment, on the other side of the firing shed, my eldest daughter experiences her first peer attempt at proselytization...and trying to diffuse the entire convo, equates heaven to valhalla and explicitly outs me as an atheist. The place goes quiet. "But he stays up all night singing randy travis".

Valiant attempt.

Still trying to get over the fact that I placed an order for some items for granddaughter again today. Called her and asked her to send me links to some things she needs (school starts Tuesday for her). She just turned 16. She wanted a set of three pair of leggings. Fine. A package of 10 pair of socks...also fine. And a package of nine pair of scandalous panties. Sigh....I haven't seen her since she was about 6...I have a bit of a sick headache over it.

Fuck with her. Tell her you'd rather she freeballed than sullied herself with such items.
