  • Mom gave me some Ghost Peeps when she stopped by today  See How Marshmallow Peeps Are Born.

     

    OK, lots to type, not much time.

     

    I finished HP year 6, despite listing it as "currently reading".  I haven't picked a book yet to take to Gencon.  When I do, I'll let you know.  I finished it Saturday night/Sunday morning at HExacon.  I just couldn't put it down.  I guess KPNX-TV made a comment aimed at me when they filmed me playing Quidditch 08:00 Sunday morning.  I wish I was awake enough to focus on more than just the card game.  Oh well.

     

    Hexacon had very low attendance, but I had fun.  I played Quidditch, Star Wars Epic Duels, Pirate's Cove, Shadowfist, and helped run PLA5 & DAL2.  I also was confirmed for running Shadowfist slots at CopperCon this year.  Everyone should come and play. 

     

    Bill had a family crisis and crashed at my place for a few nights this past week.  We talked a lot, and I think he's learned a few things about himself.  Hopefully, he'll continue the personal growth he evidenced.  He rejoined Phoenix Chuy's Fan Club as well, which I'll take as a good sign.

     

    While talking, he told me I should seek a relationship with one of our mutal friends.  The weird thing is, this was a friend I know full well with which he has tried to several times to start a relationship.  So I was totally not prepared for him to offer me that advice.  He said that I know her so much better than he does, so that tells him that we obviously already have the friendship on which to base a such a relationship.  Usually, I'd ignore such a thing.  However, as I heard each excuse come out of my mouth as I gave them to him, I realised that they were just lame excuses on why I shouldn't.  So I have to wonder, have I been fooling myself?  Am I interested in her, but just too afraid to admit to it?  I'll have to monitor myself and see.  Even the thought that I might be so vulnerable is scarey, which is so silly and lame.  I really need to be less uptight about self control.  I suspect that will be a lifetime battle.

    "I wanted to play with that classic notion of the frontier: not the people who made history, but the people history stepped on -- the people for whom every act is the creation of civilization. Then again, there's also gunfights and action." ~Joss Whedon on creating Firefly

  • Tim Burton's Corpse Bride looks great.  I can't wait for it to come out. 

     

    So, yesterday some jerk stole my bicycle.  That's the fourth crime on my property in a couple of years.  I'm becoming very annoyed. 

     

    Wayne lent me his copy of Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince, so hopefully I can finish before Diagon Alley Live:  The Starling Centaur this upcoming Sunday.  Wish me luck.

     

    After over a month of delays, we finally started my Dark Sun 3.5 campaign this past Saturday, using a mix of Dragon Magazines #315 & 319, Dungeon Magazines #110 & 111, and The Burnt World of Athas.  All three are official Dark Sun sources, and I think that each has holes which the other fills.  I might post my campaign specifics online sometime.  I used the d20 Initiative Cards for the first time, and they worked out really well!  I highly recommend them.  Rusty is playing a Thri-Kreen Fighter 2, Kitty is playing a Maenad Wilder 3, and Monte is playing an Elf Rouge 3.

     

    Anyway, time to get back to work on DAL2.  Later.

     

    Thanks to Chris for the quiz!









    the Wit

    (52% dark, 34% spontaneous, 33% vulgar)

    your humor style:
    CLEAN | COMPLEX | DARK


    You like things edgy, subtle, and smart. I guess that means you're probably an intellectual, but don't take that to mean you're pretentious. You realize 'dumb' can be witty--after all isn't that the Simpsons' philosophy?--but rudeness for its own sake, 'gross-out' humor and most other things found in a fraternity leave you totally flat.

    I guess you just have a more cerebral approach than most. You have the perfect mindset for a joke writer or staff writer. Your sense of humor takes the most effort to appreciate, but it's also the best, in my opinion.

    Also, you probably loved the Office. If you don't know what I'm talking about, check it out here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/theoffice/.
