Sunday goes on a diet.

Or I woke up in an alternate universe.

Went out to grab the paper today, and instead of the usual Sunday Chronicle that Ate Alviso, there is one of the skinniest papers I have ever seen. Front section, Bay Area, and Sports. Nothing else. Since this is abnormal, I'm sitting here wondering what subtle message the Illuminati is sending me..

I'm doomed.

OK, there was this announcement on the Pyramid board that Phil Foglio had drawn today's Sluggy Freelance. So, I went out to look. Then I clicked back to read the first one...

I'm going to be sitting here all day, aren't I?

Nethack Nitpicking.

Bad news: I just killed a character through stupidity.

Good News: She left a full pile of goodies, including Magicbane, lots of good spell books, some nicely enchanted armor, and lots of good gems.

Bad News: All the stuff I was carrying has a good chance of being cursed, and the bag of holding will most likely be cursed, making looting it dicey (things vanish at random.)

Good News: This happened in Gehemmon, and I never go into Gehemmon with out several blessed scrolls of Remove Curse.

Bad News: At that point, I'm usually carrying all the goodies I need anyway.

Good News: Since I use a program called Hearse, I got an extra bone file so I can get other peoples' goodies!
