Hopefully I'll remember to bring the latest issue of Amazing Spider-Man (the one JMS writes) to game. If this issue can't get you hooked on the wallcrawler as written by JMS, nothing can. And even if it doesn't, it has a really really funny internal monologue I want to read you. :)

Question the Second

Is anyone planning anything for the Fourth of July OTHER than Men In Black II?

Question the First

I realised today I KNOW where I can get directions to the camping place in the foothills I was telling you guys about. Who's interested in picking a weekend and going?

Nominations for weekends are being accepted. Here's mine:

June 21 (leave after work; this will of course be later for some -- a few of us can go early and get camp set up (I'm even willing to go, set it up, leave a sentry and come back for people if necessary)), 22, return June 23rd.

If you are interested in helping me write, put together, plan, organize, and pull off either a D&D LARP or a Gangrel Gather to be held at a so-far undetermined time at an undetermined California location, let me know.

Attention! Attention! There is a geek loose in Michael's house!

I've redesigned the Harm's Way.


Three times.

Whaddayoumean I'm DEAD?

So, Mike replaced our PS2, and I've begun the final stretch of Final Fantasy X.

Yesterday I discovered I -- ok, the character, but hey, I stick myself into video games as much as I do into books -- I even start thinking in terms of the character's attitudes, which sometimes gets me killed, like on Battlestar MUSH when I went out after a Cylon I KNEW would likely kill me, and then refused to break off and flee when I was one shot from death because no way in hell would Atreus break off when he was that angry -- but I digress.

( Warning: Spoilers for Final Fantast X's plotline ahead )

Bonus Dune Quote!

There is in all things a pattern that is part of our universe. It has symmetry, elegance, and grace--those qualities you find always in that which the true artist captures. You can find it in the turning of the seasons, in the way sand trails along a ridge, in the branch clusters of the creosote bush or the pattern of its leaves. We try to copy these patterns in our lives and our society, seeking the rhythms, the dances, the forms that comfort. Yet, it is possible to see peril in the finding of ultimate perfection. It is clear that the ultimate pattern contains its own fixity. In such perfection, all things move toward death.
