Random Notes

Last week we were watching Buffy: the Vampire Slayer. It ended with the dramatic reveal that SPOILER was a god.
Me: "Oh, we know how to deal with that. Nail him to a stick."
[info]celticdragonfly: "Nah, that only works for three days."
Our handbasket is marked "Express".

The Veggietales Pirates movie is good, the quality I expect from them. Probably too scary for some of the under-5 crowd. Jamie watched it from my lap and turned away during the scary bits.

One of my favorite RPG settings is Transhuman Space, a hard-SF look at what the human race will be a century from now. A poster on RPG.net complained he didn't like it because it lacked "focus", ie, the set assumption that characters in a game will engage in one mission. (D&D: Kill monsters and take their stuff, CoC: investigate mysteries and go mad from the answers). I replied, "GURPS strives for realism, and reality is notably lacking in focus."

I ran into the lovely [info]awamiba at Chikfila while giving the kids some play time. She knew who I was because she recognized the kids. Someday I need to get the church nametag saying "Maggie's Daddy." Not a bad way to be known.

I picked up this year's batch of Girl Scout cookies from a co-worker. Turns out he won't be doing it again. That's a prohibited activity here at Lockheed. Why we can hardly imagine.

And here I always thought it'd be you I'd run into at Chikfila. ;)

:D I've been avoiding that area of town recently in a pathetic, desperate attempt to not spend so much money on books.

Not that it's been working.

Just remember, if someone asks you if you are a god, you say YES!

If they're carrying hammer, nails, and some long 4x4s you might want to rethink that.
