Calvin: They say the world is a stage. But obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is adlibbing his lines.
Hobbes: Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
Calvin: We need more special effects and dance numbers.

Lost in the 80's
I don’t know what it is about The Fleshtones music but they always seem to put a smile on my face when I listen to them.

Jotting Down Some Notes
Been writing up some adventure ideas for Anima: Beyond Fantasy rpg and trying to come up with a good story arc as well for the series of adventures I plan on running. I don’t want to mirror any video games (especially the Final Fantasy ones) but emulate the style and the flare they do manage to have.
Also, it depends on after the next session or two, what direction the characters are going...

Casey Jones: Lead the way, Toots.
April: "Toots"?
Casey Jones: Babe? Sweetcakes? Ah - Princess! You wanna throw me a clue here? I'm drowning.
April: Hey, you know what, that's okay. I'll do it myself.
Casey Jones: Fine, it's up to you. Just don't come around here asking for my help anymore.

I Have A Bad Feeling About This
I have a bad, sinking feeling that one of the players wants to tank the Anima: Beyond Fantasy rpg because he hates the Final Fantasy video games with a passion. He seems to think the since A:BF is the tabletop version of the video games (which the game is moduled after), so I think he’s going to either sink/sabotage the game session so we can get back to D&D. Though, I could be reading...

Photography Course
Ahead of me I see a light
shining bright, cutting the night.
Without control and without remorse
makes me think of something from a photography course.
Let the light shine and show me the way
So I can develop yet another day
Let the darkness fall and show me a life
And to cut the edges with an exacto knife
To crop the borders and put them away
And Trim the photo for another day.

Prepping for tonight’s first venture with Anima: Beyond Fantasy rpg. Will see how the game goes, though it will be char gen and possibly...

At The Corner Store
Kid 1 [puts a can of pop on the counter]: How much is this, bitch?
Cashier: Pardon?
Kid 1: Are you f**cking deaf? I asked how much is the pop?
Kid 2: Maybe you should be more polite.
Kid1: I'm sorry, I thought we lived in a country where we can say what we want? Now how much is the f**cking pop, Bitch?

Captain John Sheridan: Are you trying to cheer me up?
Susan Ivanova: No sir, wouldn't dream of it.
Captain John Sheridan: Good, I hate being cheered up. It's depressing.
Susan Ivanova: In that case we're all going to die slow, agonizing deaths.
Captain John Sheridan: Thank you, I feel so much better now.

I’ve been a big fan of Dana ever since China Beach tv series back in the day and have been following her career. She’s done some good stuff.
Jeri Ryan ever since her appearance on Dark Skies and...
