When I got into Dungeons & Dragons back in High School, there were a number of other role-playing games I was familiar with – Gamma World, James Bond, Marvel Superheroes, etc. – and they all took place within fantasy worlds of some sort, past or future. Even James Bond, which took place in something resembling
Puke-arama: Night 2! The fun never ends… And the snow is falling, and I’m cranky from a hectic day at work, and I’m exhausted from a lack of uninterrupted sleep. I do have several new comic books that I picked up at lunch, though, all but $5 of which were free thanks to my $20
Being the DM is tough work
All kids are germans. Not as in country of origin, but as in spreaders of sickness. Hoarders, too, I think, as they just pass their colds around amongst themselves and anyone else worn down enough to get in on the fun. “At least it’s not the flu” has little meaning at this point, as once
THE HANGED MAN Suspended decision. Initiation, divination, prophecy. Turning point in psychic powers. Trust in inner voice. Suspension, change, reversal, boredom, abandonment, sacrifice, readjustment, improvement, rebirth. He usually represents a time of feeling in limbo, being stuck or being prevented from moving forward. He’s usually depicted hanging upside down with his hands tied – that’s
Pumpkin Seeds: 1/12/2004
1. I can’t stand people who barely know their own jobs getting snippy and trying to tell other people how to do theirs. My boss has the worst phone manners with people in other departments, as well as with customer service people at other companies. And if I have to hear one more time about
20 things you may not know about me
Okay, okay! Not sure if I can come up with 20 things you may not know about me (especially if you’ve read this journal regularly the over the past year) but I’ll give it a shot and try not to repeat anything. Take your pick in laying the blame for this: Dawn, Tony or RAC.
Stupid People Piss Me Off
Took another one of those online polls today, “What Pisses You Off?” I got “Stupid People Piss You Off.” Well, duh! That’s not worth posting.

It’s 2004 and we’re back home
So far so good… Tomorrow afternoon, I’m hosting the second half of the Rev. Pietri fundraiser at the Bowery Poetry Club. Lot of great poets coming out including Amiri & Amina Baraka, Quincy Troupe, Emily XYZ, Bob Holman, Willie Perdomo, Cheryl Boyce Taylor, Danny Shot and many others. Come on out and support a good
Verizon, Alvin Ailey and D&D
I think Verizon’s out to get me! Ever since we’ve switched to cable internet and forsaken the land line, I’ve been encouraging others to do the same. Now, on the weekend I get my super-duper Napster MP3 player, our cable is suddenly and mysteriously screwed up and I haven’t had internet access since sometime on
2003 In Review
This will have to last through Monday… 1. What did you do in 2003 that you’d never done before? Contributed $$$ to a political campaign. 2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year? Don’t generally make specific resolutions other than to be true to myself. I am
