How 'bout that "change the name" debate?
I have to admit, I'm sometimes confused by the topic of cultural appropriation. On the one hand, reducing an already downtrodden ethnicity to a mocking trope for Halloween is a jerk move for sure. On the other hand, if an artist wants to emulate a style of illustration from a culture they aren't a part of, I don't see that as being automatically ( Read more... ) -

More GURPLES...
I've been doing those online surveys that advertise on Facebook, and I got some money from them in my Paypal account. Not much, but enough for a small download from e23. So I downloaded GURPS Character assistant. Not a bad little program. You still need a copy of the book to look up what all the advantages and skills do, but it keeps track of all ( Read more... ) -
Spreading the GURPLES...
Jenn and I have been upgrading our GURPS collection to 4th edition, which rendered several of my 3rd edition books obsolete. I wasn't sure how much I'd get for them at a used book store, so I asked my older sister in law if her eldest son might be interested, seeing as he turns 13 this friday. They're still fully usable, Jenn and I just want to be ( Read more... ) -
GOOD THING I DIDN'T CALL 911!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So Jenn left for work at 8:30 this morning. Around 12:30 I get a phone call from A&W asking where she is because she's on the schedule for 1:00. This is disconcerting. I call her cel phone, and there's no response. I phone the store back using the call display redial, asking if anyone's seen her at all, is she just doing an onion ring run, etc. No ( Read more... ) -
Coming down with the GURPLES...
So, after selling my broken Xbox 360 on eBay, I had a nice little sum of money on Paypal. Unfortunately, you can't just transfer Paypal money to your credit card, and transferring it into your bank means putting up your account info, and they charge money for it. So, I went to Warehouse 23 and ordered some GURPS books instead. I also just got my ( Read more... ) -

NFB Cartoons
The other day I looked up one of my favourite NFB cartoons on Youtube, and showed it to Jenn. It's called The Apprentice:
I also looked for another one of my favourites, called Juke Bar. It's not on Youtube, but then I found out that the NFB site has about 70 animations up for public viewing. So, follow this link for Juke Bar: Read more... ) -
Sorry to be gloomy, but...
When I got to work friday morning, a coworker told me that someone I used to work with at the PetroCan on River Road was dead.
"Body identified as that of missing local woman"Kataryna was from the Ukraine. She was one of my favourite co-workers to be shifted on with, especially for an evening shift. In the evenings things would get really slow, ( Read more... ) -
I guess that's it then...
Jenn and I looked at our finances, and decided that with my upcoming bonus cheque, we can afford an Xbox 360 arcade version. It was $100 cheaper than buying a unit that replaces the one I have, but that's because it's missing duplicate accessories, like a 20gB hard drive, headset communicator, and ethernet cable. Seeing as those parts are all fine ( Read more... )
