But wait, there's more!

For all of you rendered speechless by "Racial Holy War" I must report that thankfully, at least one person was not.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I have found a review of that piece of tripe. Ten times better than the game. WARNING: Strong language.

Nevermore

As I sit typing, suddenly I hear the most awful noise from outside. I look, and there is a big black bird sitting there. A crow or raven. He just sits there giving me the eye.

Cool with me, I like having him around.

Much silliness in alt.conspiracy

Sometimes, those of us who are sane posters in alt.conspiracy (a small group, be assured) just get silly. The following exchange came out of a long pointless thread claiming that Mossad nuked the World Trade Center.

What Alignment am I?

For once, I think I found this first. The D&D 3rd Edition Alignment Test

I came out as: Lawful Good

A lawful good character acts as a good person is expected or required to act. She combines a commitment to oppose evil with the discipline to fight relentlessly. She tells the truth, keeps her word, helps those in need, and speaks out against injustice. A lawful good character hates to see the guilty go unpunished. Lawful good is the best alignment you can be because it combines honor and compassion.

Northward, ho!

This afternoon I bought my tickets for the Great November Trek to see eleri and attend OryCon. $92 round trip on Greyhound. This is the most money I've just spent on myself in years in one drop. It feels very odd.

Also odd is the sensation of having a girlfriend. When we first became poly, it was because of what cancer did to my sex drive. I really never thought I'd get it back! But it's here, and dropping hints about "making up for lost time." Who am I to argue?

I'll be in the Portland area from November 18th to the 25th. A nice little vacation.

To quote The American President, "My nervousness exists on many levels..."

Of course, now that I've spent the money, Foster City is going to hire me Monday
