I’ll Be Voting For Wesley Clark / Good-Bye Mr. Bush — by Michael Moore I don’t usually give much creedence to political endorsements since most of them stem from self-serving agendas as opposed to personal beliefs, but this one stopped me in my tracks. I’m not a Michael Moore devotee – the self-proclaimed man of
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

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.
