Surgery Day! OH BOYS!
I am on drugs and trussed up and throbbing. Thankfully I am an iconic example of a man in his physical prime, so my only injuries are cosmetic ones, resulting from wrestling crocodiles, taming lions, and the like. Mate.
Today was also a day for being hit on. A lot.
I obviously underestimate my pimp juice on a regular basis. I...

Mad Scientist's Log, Stardate 9227
Eureka!
I have done it! They laughed at me! They said it was impossible! They mocked me and chided me and ran me out of town with pointy sticks that sometimes were on fire. But I have proven them all wrong! Today, I stand triumphant atop an impassable Everest of you-shouldn't-play-God-s, and I laugh at...

Yeah, I hear what you're saying. But generally intelligent discourse is about the only way to defeat this sort of person.
Seriously, ask any one of them what reasons they have for hating anyone and most of them will rehash some programmed litany, or repeat something they've supposedly heard, seen, read, etc. But very few have any genuine gripes.
So an intelligent response has the effect of spotlighting the individual within some societal mob mentality, forcing them to evaluate their personal situation and see if there's any real hatred there. Many will decide to just retreat into the safety of their preconceptions, but some will have the courage to try and see through the overly obvious to catch a glimpse of the reality beneath it all.
And with such we end up here, talking a bunch of nonsense and looking at nudey pictures. Sounds like an all right deal to me, no?
Heh, yeah, I am a pseudo-intellectual. I know shitcakes about anything I'm talking about. :-P

and when they find you, odalisque,
they will rend you terribly
stitch from stitch til all
your linen and limbs will fall
Plus, I might only be about 50 pages in, but GGK is rocking pretty hard. A little much of a fan of the presaging, but he gets away with it because it's blantant and obvious that the payoff iwll come, and it's not...

^^ Look at the crazy person!
Re: holding hair back -- I think they assumed (correctly!) that I would have gargled incoherent curses at them and perhaps attempted to hit them with my handbag. Chivalry may be dead, but common sense survives. To some small extent. Even in DC.

Can I fuckin' relax now? Sweet King o' the Jews, this is madness...
Anyway, now I'm doin' nothin' for four days. Birthday is Monday. All Hallow's Eve. And I don't quite have enough money to celebrate in style...ah well. Me and GIR will just have to be all bittersweet about it.
I smelled of the smoke of leaves and tobacco -- crisp, dry, dusty and...

Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday! Sorry I missed saying it on time. I suck at life.
LINKAGE. There's also new pics. If you're looking for my shamefully narccisisstic and slightly creepy list o' 20, it's back a few entries.
For all your Ia Ia needs... It's cool this exists. I hear their B&W movie of Call is pretty sweet, too. So I'ma do somethin' 'bout that.
OPTICAL! Of the illusion variety. Close it says one thing, far away, quite something else....

Thank you, and goodnight.

Okay, I gotta get some links out of my system, then I'll take care of Liante's demands.

Oh holy crap, life's been wierd and sleepless the last few days. I'm sloppy and crazy and I don't know who I'll volleyball spike.
I feel like the wheels are spinning.
Anyway, I just watched Road to El Dorado and Mean Girls instead of playing D&D last night. Because 1 person was absent, 3 people were tired and loopy, and the other is Christina, who...

I can't remember, have you read Sailing to Sarantium yet? It's probably my favorite Kay, which makes it suck even more than the following book is such a disappointment. It'd be my favorite two-book series of all time if the last third of the second book didn't completely trash all that came before.
Anyway.
Go write your own list of 20 things!

The pale, sticky tortilla was a spongy mass of pores, slowly transformed by the vaguely meatlike sauce and the spicy ambiguous substance spread on it. The beans glistened with a slickness born of panic at their inevitable digestion. They had a fear of my teeth. Before they were put in the wrap, they used to talk to each other, in the heated metal pan, wondering...

What do you mean, it's not worth it to be elitist about games?! Mind. Blown.
Seriously though, that's like telling geeks not to argue about why Serenity was a box-office disappointment. It's so contrary to their natures, it'll never happen. Meanwhile all the normal people are politely edging away and looking for the fire escapes.

Just wanted to say excellent help on the dexterity-based fighter thread. And my apologies for sicking Liante on you. Just asked her if'n she new and DnD vets to help me out, and here you are.
I skipped out on a wedding today. I mean, I wish her well and all, but knowing two people is not a comfy way to go into one of these things. If I had someone to tag along, it'd be fine, but I knew the bride and her dad...yeah, that's something I can kill a few hours talking to, right? At a wedding? T'cha. So...

I used to want prematurely gray hair. I think it would be super nifty to have it in streaks (and could just dye over the rest -- gray hair's got to be as easy as blonde for taking on blues and greens and other fun colors).
It does not, alas, appear to be in the cards.

It's much better to just take fun as it comes, because as soon as you start looking it'll vanish.
