so Tired

For anyone who needs books...
The Iron Dragon Games Webstore is LIVE at: http://irondragongames.com/store/catalog/index.php
This is a small sideline that developed out of getting books for players in the OWbN game I'm HST for, and has since branched to neighboring chronicles. Now I have a webstore. :)
Any books that you need that aren't in-stock in the webstore, I can probably get for you, so drop me a line.

Just watched the Obama speech in Berlin. Every time he would say, "People of Berlin..." I had trouble not thinking "I am a donut..."

It was a pretty good speech. There were some moments where all he needed was some Snuffy Walden music and he would have been all Bartlet. That crowd was HUGE. Victory tower all the way back to the Brandenburg Gate. That distance took me a good 45 minutes to walk, albeit at a leisurely iPod pace.

I'm curious what Jon Stewart's gonna make from the speech. The Obama Quest segments have been pretty funny so far:

McCain is so fucked!

Obama is being panned for parading around the world talking to foreign leaders and holding press conferences. I remember vividly back when George Bush was campaigning, one of the criticisms was his lack of foreign policy experience. Had he even been to a foreign country other than as a vacay? And what has been one of Obama's biggest criticisms from the start - his lack of foreign policy experience. I suppose the difference is, Bush's base is a fan of the United States of Fuck You style, so Bush not bothering to deal with his foreign policy ignorance didn't bother Republicans. Of course, Obama is doing this world tour to get votes back home. But I also feel like his going to Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. is helping Barack Obama the man better understand the situation around the globe, and this is to prepare him for the Presidency should he be elected. And I don't understand how education could ever be a problem.

Same rules. Ask any question. No question unanswered.

There's been a meme that's going around that says, "If there are one or more people on your friends list who make your world a better place just because they exist, and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the Internet, then post this same sentence in your journal. "

When you ask your question, I also want you to mention someone by name on your friends list or in real life who does make this world a better place.

It is important to give thanks. But we should not forget specific moments, event and people that make us grateful that we have them in our lives.

This way, you are not simply saying "Thanks" out of courtesy when someone gives you change at the supermarket. You are meditating upon your gratitude when you look inside yourself to remember your connection to people, understand why they are there, and become grateful.

With all this in mind, feel free to ask away.

Apparently, Congressman Weiner is a bit of a dick. Aw c'mon, how could I not go with the joke on that one?!

UCLA has more Olympians than the Greeks, mutha fuckas!

You know, if Wired was actually written by geeks anymore, the guy doing this article on Simon Pegg and Spaced wouldn't sound so surprised that Spaced is a fiesta of awesome. HELLO. Anybody with an ounce of Peggcred all ready knew this. N00B!

Up on my etsy page now ^ Click the photo and it should take you there.

So I tried to make these four all a little kooky and different. (More like the actual fiery characters- who were all pretty unique looking)

Estelle Getty from the Golden Girls passed away at age 84 today.

I cried. I did not mean to; tears just leaked from my eyes when I heard it.

16. Being a Green Mother by Piers Anthony

I'd go into much more detail about how I cannot decide if the first book about Death or this one is my favorite and how I am surprised Piers Anthony is still alive and writing including releasing an eighth Incarnations of Immortality book last December. I'd probably even mention how I am now even more unsure manwhoreforhire has the next book about Satan, which I am especially keen to read after this last book.

But I am entirely too depressed about WoW and my guild so I'll leave it at that.

I have the day off and I'm thinking about running something. Who would be interested?

Saturday night I LARPed for the first time in years.

I played a wraith. I fucked with Jon. It was fairly amusing.

Saw some people I hadn't seen in years and it was blissfully drama-free.

Very few people regognized me at first since I am sporting my natural hair color and was not dressed in my gothy finest. Haha.

Quit whinging you little pussies.

It was funny and entertaining. Buy the fucking DVD. Download the fucking thing. It's awesome and you god damn know it.

You wanna talk about Joss Whedon killing characters, let's go at it. Let's talk about who he's killed and why.

Dave and I are over. 6 and a half years - it was a good run. I'm feeling really shitty about it now, but the rational part of my brain keeps telling me that it is a necessity. Two people in two completely different parts of their lives...he can't wait on me to get my shit together forever.

Also, I have the flu. Because that makes it even better.

He broke his arm and has to have surgery. I'm officially the worst person ever.

Yesterday while driving, I saw a sign that said "Jumpers for Rent". I couldn't for the life of me figure out what that meant. The best I could come up with is they've got a warehouse full of suicidal people who will jump off buildings for you, provided you pay the reasonable price. I'm sure Michael Bay uses them all the time.

My little cane holiday may have been a bad idea. Or maybe that "cartilage deformity" the doctor was carrying on about is actually serious. Either way I am back on the crutches with a pain akin to small veins of fire inside my lateral malleolus (outer ankle) nonstop. I am telling myself the burning means it's healing.

I've found a local poker game finally ^_^. It's a sausage fest but at $10 buy ins with $20 rebuys at a table of 10 one stands to make decent cash on a good night. I lost $30 last night due mostly to a single hand where my pocket 2's (trip 2's after the flop A/2/crap) got destroyed by pocket jacks that didn't hit until the river. Talk about hope, if I were him I'd have bailed hard when my opponent all-inned on a mediocre board and all I held was a pair, not even the highest pair. QQ and KK failed me hard in subsequent hands so I called it a night. This was my second game with this crowd, I think I've got the players figured out enough to avoid their tricks more in the future. Two of them are drawing fools, one will raise ANYTHING, one is a serious shark, one is a lesser shark, and all but the sharks show mucked hands, make questionable calls, go on tilt, and have massive tells. As much money as I have lost to Sir Shark he is a pleasure to play with so I don't mind.

Tonight the bartender at the dive bar I love so dearly serves his last shift before he moves away to Santa Cruz. I hear last night he was pouring naked at 9pm, so this last shift should be a doozie. I should probably find a designated driver.
