Is this something new? I recently read Eiji Yoshikawa's novel about Musashi, and a friend told me about a movie version (Samurai) starring Toshiro Mifune. Is this something different? On the other hand, don't answer, because I won't be able to see it anyway.:) The book was great though.

Excellent. Brevity is, etc., etc.

Two books to get: The Superior Person's Book of Words http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/087923556X/qid=1048973062/sr=8-2/ref=sr_8_2/104-3385585-6019169?v=glance&s=books&n=507846 and the sequel, The Superior Person's Second Book of Weird and Wondrous Words...

First, "ditto" on Star Wars soundtracks (thought Ep. II was rather lame musically); Raiders, and LotR/TTT. From Lord of the Rings, I particularly liked the music when the Fellowship exits Moria after Gandalf has fallen, and the music for the "new" scene when Sam and Frodo see the elves leaving...

Aaaack! Ooop! What we need is a Bloom County movie. That would rock. Bill the Cat. The only real cat.

That's too cool, Claudio! *skips work, waits by mailbox for days*

Oh, agreed. Tracking post-count in merely a diversion to while away the time so we stay out of trouble:)

I'm half the man you are! Or half the poster, anyway. One post closer to 500 myself...

Couple of quick things before I go to bed: I think the university should be rather modest in size, but that gives this possibility--perhaps it is a fairly new school, and there is a faction/wealthy few that wants to promote it in order to gain fame and power for the city. Others see it as a...

Thanks for posting this. I missed going last year, but will try to make it this time around, at least to hear David Salo speak. He was one of the main Tolkien language guys for the Lord of the Rings movies. Looks like a bunch of interesting stuff.

Has the university been talked about someplace else, or could that be detailed here (thinking more of the form of the place first, before adding in any intrigue)? I haven't seen it mentioned in any of the other threads for this project. Any details already established?

What's sad is that I have a "Science Humor" folder of links. Ban Dihydrogen Monoxide!!:mad:

I'm DMing a game like that now for my friend. Combat is not a huge emphasis (and I'm not stingy with appropriate non-combat XP), both because he is the only player (h-elf ranger), and we're playing via Instant Messaging. I've had various sidekicks come and go; right now the PC is saddled with...

Watched that in school with a bunch of friends during one of our "Pretentious Movie Nights"; not that the movies were pretentious; we were;) That same night we also watched Salvador Dali's movie Un Chien Andalou with its infamous eyeball cutting scene.

Just watched Minority Report (finally) and The Man Who Wasn't There, which was pretty good for a film about "a barber who wants to be a dry-cleaner." The story somewhat echoes that of Fargo (only no woodchipper).

Crothian told me that they were pickled fig muffins, and were supposed to "taste a little funny.":mad: I'm going to go throw up now.

Crothian, I may yet fold and buy it. I've held that book in my hands more than once before flipping through it and deciding again not to buy it.

No, there is no unmarried female playing with my cats while at work. Thanks for asking.

I've heard people say good things about Arms & Armor, but so help me, the art has kept from picking up this one. I have bought several of their other books, and will likely pick up Guildcraft.

Hey, I'm new too! Got my CS account this weekend. *waits for kind words, Muffin Basket of Welcoming*
