Radiance bath!

Just ascended my first character in the Vulture's Eye variant of Nethack. Ann the Valkyrie found the correct altar on her first try, having to get past Pestilence three times. I hate that thing. Ended up with Mojo (+6, RP), Magicbane (+2, RP), Excalibur (+4, RP), and Cleaver (+0, RP). My final AC was -43 and I had 195 HP.

For my next trick, I'll ascend a Wizard.

BTW, Rodney is pretty awesome looking in this version.

Writer's Block: Clock Punching

I was a paperboy. Later, I had a job sweeping up an apartment complex's parking lots.

It's a good day!

San Francisco Giants: 5
Colorado Rockies: 3

Giants are now one back in the Wild Card race. Barry Zito had a strong 8.1 innings. In fact, he left with a 5-1 lead!

In preseason football...

San Francisco 49ers: 20
Dallas Cowboys: 13

Niners look good beating one of our hated rivals. Niners' punter Andy Lee became the latest kicker to nail Jerry Jones' gargantuan video screen that looms over the field. Who the hell goes to a football game to watch a video screen?

Oh, this is bad.

We're watching Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus.

Or as I call it: Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus with M-16 toting guy in every other scene.
