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 Autumn, and my job loves me (though I am rather repulsed by it's clingy, cloying, sweaty, mauling love). Also, my gaming group loves me. They baught me a new D&D book for my birthday. And this after I nearly assassinated them Saturday...

So wait, you work... at a geek store or bookstore of some type (I'm guessing) which is frequented by drug dealers and hill folk? That is either the most bizarre or coolest store ever.
Do you write for D&D professionally (i.e., do they ever give you money for it) or more as a hobby?
Last question for today: How's Magic of Incarnum? When I stop being broke I need to pick up some more gaming materials, although the d20 Call of Cthulhu is looking kind of tempting right now.

What'd you write for the d20 system?
I'll definitely look into d20 CoC. I've been wanting to pick that up -- it's just a matter of finding it on the cheap at eBay, since I'm avoiding my FLGS until this one creepy dude stops magically showing up every time I pass through the doors (seriously, it's bizarre. I don't think he works there, so he must live in a back room or something).
Lastly: psh, no extravagant compliments. They make me blush.

Liante wanted it, and I'm inclined to agree that an explanation is needed. What of the Mad City on All Hallows Eve?
First, it should be known, Madison is probably 50% college town, 25% government town, and 25% hippy city. While both the Government and the Hippies have their day, Halloween belongs to the eternal revelry of over one million college students.

Hehe. I appreciate the explanation. Sounds like a ton of fun.
Re: getting "friends" this way... well, you'd be full of something all right. I guess you could call it friendship. Seems like the cops wouldn't have much trouble decoding that one, though.

DUDE GUY GAVRIEL KAY IS TEH AWESOME YIIIIEE!!!
/hyperbole.
He's a pretty awesome writer though, in all seriousness. His prose has a lyrical beauty that you don't often find in fantasy, where high-magic hackdom and endless, bloated "epics" seem to be the order of the day. I can definitely see the fangirl appeal.
So do you deal with these people at work or do they just gravitate around you for some other reason?

I love Behemoth 3. So much nerd love is theirs. I will give them $1.50 if they tell me they need bus fare home.
Of course, in the abscence of 6 friends near Chicago who have $200 to spend, and there will be that abscence, I will settle for gifts each of you have...

You really think Bush doesn't want to screw up the SCOTUS nominations? Man, I wish I still had that much faith. Roberts got my hopes up, but now it looks like ye olde crony-circle is back in full swing.
Running of the drunks is a new concept for me. What's the story, and how'd you get pulled in?

My SG membership will likely peter out at the end of this month. My bank is all transition-y, and it's come at about the end of the month. I'll be back, but I don't know when...so if any of the kickass folks I've met...

I'm going to the Harry Potter Release party! Those children don't stand a chance...
My pet theory is that Neville is going to become a big central character ANY MINUTE now. And Harry will turn Evil (for a time, of course, not forever).
Also, I'd hope that Rowling would become far less verbose, but since she's kind of been given carte blanche and is worshipped...
