And If Your Heart Stops Beating
It's not so much that people keep dying that's weird... it's the young deaths.
Now it's lesser celebrity Billy May, better known as the hawker for Orange Glo and OxiClean ( Read more... ) -
Living Proof That The Camera's Lying
I've started going through my Japanese Player's Handbook, working out vocabulary lists. It's a little bit difficult, because so many of the terms are nonstandard. It is also a great deal of fun, though, and certainly more intrinsically entertaining than the economics article for which I am doing the same. I have promised my husband that gaming will ( Read more... ) -

After we ate, we went to Six Flags where we discovered something more exciting than roller coasters ( Read more... ) -
Schadenfreude! People Taking Pleasure In Your Pain
I just got back from seeing Star Trek. Of all the geekgasms I could have had - and there were many opportunities - what really made me squee was the red shirt on the away mission. In some ways, that's very sad. -
Sixteen Books On Magic Spells
Ages ago I had the idea to base a Midnight campaign based on Battlestar Galactica. For those unfamiliar with the setting, take The Lord of the Rings and revise the ending so that Sauron wins. Now set a game one hundred years later. It's brutal, there's little magic of any kind, and the only people who have regular access to divine spells - ( Read more... )
