Days off

There are many times when Ethan will work long days/have long classes while I have the day off. It gets pretty boring, so I'm learning to be super good at occupying myself (okay, so I've always been really good at it). Today I decided to paint my own Dungeons and Dragons dice set, but within a few hours I realized that this project would take me longer than one day. Thus, here is the beginning of my collection.






If you don't already know, Dungeons and Dragons is a table-top role playing game. A group of people sit around a table with a map, miniatures, and dice. One person is the DM, or the "Dungeon Master". This person's job is to create the game and guide the players through different scenarios. The other members create characters with unique stats and personalities and team up to fight different monsters and go on quests. The dice are used to roll for outcomes, chances to hit, order of initiative in battle, and skill checks. There are lots of different dice used--typical dice used are D20, D12, D10, D8, D6, D4. 

Anyway, I just thought I'd paint my own dice for if we get a D&D or Pathfinder group together. It's a fun project, anyway. 

In other news, I did two Insanity videos today. And watched a lot of Lost. I never watched that show when it was popular, because I hate hearing the circle-jerk of how much people love a certain show. I figured it was no good (irony...) It's actually amazingly good. I've been watching it pretty much nonstop. I'm usually ridiculously good at guessing the plot and ending of movies/tv shows, but this one definitely has me stumped. I have a few ideas, but I'm not willing to throw in my cards yet. (The other show is Battlestar Galactica--but I mean, really, who can guess the ending to that?)
