Miscellany & QotDs

Wrist, still borked. Computer, still borked.

Saturday night, I went to Vicki's with a boxfull of organic vegetables given to me by Mike and Bernadette before they took off for their 2 week vacation to Rome and Greece. We managed to use all the vegetables in one giant Salade Nicoise, which was uber-tasty, very colourful, and had plenty of leftovers.

Game past sunday: Was kind of slow, proceeded somewhat aimlessly, and saw the surprising death of two of the partymembers from what should have been a reasonable encounter (EL 12ish for 6 15th levels). That sank the game for more time as they were raised and adjusted their characters. However, it did provide one of the players with some good character-specific action(s), so at least it was positive on that side.

In the major geek link department, nonetheless fun: Deutsche Welle's site in a new language. Here and Here. Click English to discover what is being said.

An amusing statement of reality: When a guy's parents found out about him working in a porn store, they were OK with it. Quote he: "They're Republicans. As long as I'm making money, they don't care."

On the new Smithsonian Native American Museum: "It was Cardinal, a Blackfoot, who won the original commision ... only to be dismissed from the project five years later... A number of other firms and consultants were eventually brought in to revise and complete Cardinal's scheme, but in its essential outlines the museum still bears his stamp, which is why, for all the turmoil of the design process, it's a superior addition to a mall that has more than its share of Beurocratic Modern."

Missed this past weekend: Jousting. Next year, must remember to go see this.
