I'm folding this particular account, and going back to "spottylogic." Not for any particular love of that persona (though I still like that name a lot), but because it's a permanent account, Livejournal advertisements SUCK and not in a warm fuzzy way, and I'd rather kill off my old name and get my permanent account back than have an account sitting ( Read more... )

I'm a little surprised that the phrase "undead aboleth" doesn't turn up more hits on google. Lucky players.

I'm having a lot of job-angst right now. Thankfully I'm employed, but everything's very frustrating and crazy-making ( Read more... )

Got up at like 7:20, about an hour after I'd planned to. Curse you, snooze button! I'm *still* kind of half-asleep, which is bad because my inbox is crammed with little scutwork jobs, and I need my brain in gear to keep up with them ( Read more... )

Spent the weekend in San Antonio on a massive thrift shop spree! Lots of good pictures. San Antonio's Texas Thrift Store chain is the most awesomely awesome thrift franchise I've seen in the history of ever! Went to four of their five stores. The two smaller were both strong stores on their own, certainly a place I'd stop if I was already on that ( Read more... )

Found a fun nerdrock band called Kirby Krackle. They've got a good rock feel, with lots of songs with a strong comics/supers theme, kind of a pleasant change. This is *highly* unusual for me--bought both their albums (that's not unusual) and every track is a keeper ( Read more... )

I'm really kind of running low on things I want to play in 4E! It looks like the next batch of new class suggestions is going to be next March, when they unveil the Shadow classes--and I might get my beloved necromancer back, and they'll include the hexblade. Until then, tho, i've only seen like three things I'm vaguely interested in playing ( Read more... )

Happy Independence day! Lots of stirring patriotism over NPR talking about the ability of one person's vote to change the world. I called them up and asked them if that was true of a liberal vote in Texas. They said no, which was a little depressing, but it's nice being right ( Read more... )

1. The Aristocats isn't as good as I remember it, and I remember it being not that good. Sad but true, how childhood disillusions die over the years. It's *not* a bad film. I made a batch of custard a few nights ago and forgot to put any sugar in. I've finished it all, but I'm not really sure why, it wasn't much of a value-add, though the toasted ( Read more... )

Did a little light shopping yesterday--stopped by a couple of thrift stores on my way home, just to see what was out there. Found a rather pretty spangled vest, it's kind of a stylized diagonal tigery pattern of yellow and orange, but set with sparkly seed beads and tiny pearls. It's not QUITE the Czech vest I wanted to go with my various icons, ( Read more... )
