Day: Monday 20 January 2003

  • So I'm cleaning out my E-mailboxes, deleting all of the mortgage/pornography/new car/debt reduction/et cetera junk E-mail when I get a strange thought.  Remember the old myths where the male and female are so well endowed that they have to roll up their reproductive organs and carry them over their shoulder like you would a garden hose or long extension cord?  An image of these mythic progenators would make for a funny advertisement to match an E-mail whose subject line reads, "Grow Your Man." 


    I mean, why can't people just be happy with what God gave them?  The same goes with retaining facial hair and avoiding makeup and tattoos.  People, you're perfect as God made you.  You don't need extra length or mass to improve your happiness.  A good relationship with God and with your fellow Human will bring all the happiness you need.  Trust me on this.

    Today I finally built my push mower and mowed the lawn.  While I was at it I weeded the rock garden, weeded the flower garden, and fixed the leak I wasn't told about in the flower garden faucet. 


    Then it was off to mass, where it seemed as if there were less people than usual.  Father Milt's homily focused on how the readings tied into Ordinary time, and how ordinary things can lead you into a better relationship with God. 


    Saturday, between games of Shadowfist, Travis ran his Earthdawn campaign again.  We went out to retrieve the sunken vedette (air ship) from the bottom of Lake Van and we caught by invasion troops as we surfaced. 


    Friday I was just as bored as the last session of Tom's game.  Mike and Steve's human characters went into town for two different days of information gathering.  Tom didn't even give us any rp opportunities for the rest of us.  At least at the end of the night we ended with our group traveling nine days to the southeast and seeing the huge spires of the next metropolis. 


    Tom then ended the sessiom early and told us to make human children first level NPC class characters.  These children have to have a reason to be found within the castle in the centre of town.  I will be playing a human level one thug with the Dark Ancestry and Improved Equilibrium feats.  My character is a ratter (castle exterminator), which explains why a child thug would be tolerated within the castle.  His small size lets him reach areas where adults can't reach, and he carries some of his meater kills in a sack with him for mealtimes.
