Melee and tea
Walking down the hill to the SkyTrain last night, I passed a couple of guys waiting at the bus stop, apparently finding that four blocks downhill are too much of a burden to walk.
And what do I hear them say as I walk by?
"I haven't tried it in a while, so I thought 'what the hell?' and then I saw that if you have five ranks in Tumble you get a bonus to your ..."
Dungeons and Dragons! Oh, how I miss playing!
I want to roll dice and carefully construct a complimentary character with specifically selected feats and skills, and lose hit points and gain experience!
My game fell apart in the middle of a dungeon back in September, and there's been nothing to take its place, damn the luck. Ah well.
On the way up the hill, heading home after getting off the SkyTrain this morning, I went into a little place across from Douglas College that sells bubble tea.
There was no board behind the counter indicating what they had. They had menus, however. No need, as I knew what I wanted.
So in one of those glass or acryllic tumblers that always looks like they're scratched, the mom starts mixing in purple powder and a bunch of hot chocolate powder. She bustles around while I pay the daughter. The signs on the wall are written in a language I couldn't identify. It wasn't Arabic, and it wasn't Chinese, Japanese, etc. It looked like Arabic to me, only with large loops at the top of many of the characters. Beats me what it was.
The mom eventually put the mix into a shaker. When the shaking was done, she took the top off, upended the little round part, and drank what was in it! Right in front of me! Day-um!
Then she squirted in some coconut syrup, dumped the mess into a cup for me, and pointed me to the straws. No chewy bubbles in it either. Guess where I'm not going for bubble tea again? :P
