More relaxing
November 9th 2007 -
Mr Rabbit here shows the final level of relaxation, and concludes our set of exercises. Naturally, if you feel a sharp, persistant pain, strange dampness, or jagged shards of bone in any part of your body, you should probably stop doing these exercises. Remember, Mr Rabbit is on an animated gif. You don’t have to try and keep up.
I have been relaxing with Jade over the last two weeks, and it has been so pleasant I’ve not thought to update the blog until now. But things have been happening, yessireebobcatgoldthwaite! Activity on Darths & Droids has been continuing (of course) though only at the three-a-week pace. I’m particularly proud of our recent efforts, and the traffic on the site has also been steadily increasing. It looks like our efforts to make Jar Jar a sympathetic character are paying off – of course there will be people for whom nothing could possibly redeem him, but we’ve already had several comments on the forums expressing their surprise with how they kinda like him now. Faint praise! That’s my second-favorite kind of praise.
We also played a complete Lorwyn tournament, which I won with a disgusting Merfolk deck, and had a nice Halloween party (pictures will be forthcoming) in which I dressed as Dr. McNinja and Jade dressed as an angel of death, and I worked very hard on patents at work, which wasn’t very relaxing at all, come to think of it. Hmm. I’d blocked that out.
And! Playing the new Sam & Max game and am enjoying it heaps despite the rather dodgy game engine (full of stutters and slow loading times). Took Jade to archery, which she enjoyed a lot (did I already mention that?) Created a “Burling World Cup” rugby jersey with the lunchtime gang, which we’ve ordered from an embroidery place and will be getting in time for the work “Open Day”, which has a sports dress-up theme this year. Started playing Guitar Hero 3, which is much harder than the previous ones! Drunk lots of coffee, of course. Played badminton and went jogging with Jade.
How’re you?

Darth & Droids is garnering positive feedback on RPG.net in the Other Media subforum. (I think you have to register, but it’s free.)

Get me a picture of the jersey. We make custom rugby jerseys sometimes.

The problem is the timing – we got very late noticed of the sports dress-up theme, and only had a week and a bit to organise. We need to be wearing them the coming Friday. If we’d had more time I’d definitely have come to you first!

We’re not immune to a certain amount of internet vanity – there are a couple of interesting areas of Darths & Droids discussion; the rpgnet area (you don’t have to register), the official Darths forum, the livejournal comments section, and a really lovely discussion in the “Order of the Stick” forums. All been very positive so far!

I’d definitely have come to you first!
I didn’t really mean I wanted to make it for you, but I wouldn’t mind a picture of the finished product to compare it with the ones in our Sample Gallery. I also have no idea what to charge for one-offs, so I usually tell my sales staff to insist on 10 shirt minimum order.

I have two words for you: “fork” and “pin”. Learn them well, grasshopper.

Good to hear that Darth and Droids is getting positive buzz. I’m enjoying it a lot – especially the brilliant decision to make Jar Jar the sympathetic character.
Now the real trick will be whether you can make Ani tolerable :)

Heh heh. Darths&Droids looks like fun. Check my site for some classic SW fandom- or ask Chris Fiddyment about it ;)

Hey, thanks! I’ll definitely check out your website. It’s been ages since I properly talked to Mr Fiddyment; we had a brief discussion of magic tricks when I posted up some of the coin rolling stuff I was doing, but that’s about it.
