I received D&D miniatures to paint as part of my Secret Santa gift at work. I painted them in January (as part of a bigger batch); Wednesday I brought them (as well as some others) in to show the person who had given them to me. The lady really loved them and took pictures to show her husband. I gave her three miscellaneous wizard figures that I ( Read more... ) -

zdude and I had a nice, rousing conversation this morning about the difference between humans and animals, religion, evolution, and what exactly "God made man in his image" means (he thinks physically and I think it has more to do with higher reasoning, capability of culture and future-building and 'morality'). We agree that people who don't ( Read more... ) -

RIP Old Nokia
Monday, the old Nokia brick phone that zdude has been using since 2000 was turned off for good. He's gotten messages over the last few years that their service would no longer be covering his type of phone (it's analog!) and he must get a new phone that is covered. They've even left him messages that he could get a new phone if he went in to any of ( Read more... ) -

Finally sitting and watching Smallville (on Hulu). It took awhile to get past the initial bad impression, but as long as I don't expect certain things, it's actually pretty cute.
