    My wife is AWESOME!, i.e. my surprise Depeche Mode concert

    Well, at least you didn't throw a beer on Martin Gore, then have him jump into the crowd and start punching people.

    LOST Wednesday 11/30/05 {Spoilers for this ep and previous eps ONLY!}

    I'm starting to believe this a little, which makes me fear for the show. (X-Files, anyone?) Still, I love Lost. No other show has made me say "Son of a . . ." as many times, as in: "Wait, is that supposed to be Walt on the computer?!??! Son of a . . ."

    My wife is AWESOME!, i.e. my surprise Depeche Mode concert

    That's very cool, JD. Happy birthday and congrats on the cool wife and concert. My wife got to see and meet Depeche Mode when we were in Texas. She has a photo of her and David Gahan. This was before we were dating, though we knew each other. She was dating a DJ from a local radio station...

    Graduate Studies course on D&D?

    This could be a fun game. Here's my doctoral thesis title (not my real doctoral thesis title, but the one I would have written were I to write about D&D): Alignment, Axioms, and Fantasy Tropes: Moral Decision-Making in Role Playing Games Subtitled: "I Didn't Spend All Those Years Playing...

    [GRIM TALES] Wulf Ratbane's SLAVELORDS of CYDONIA

    So, to the caves! Haskins and Rawley will do the talking, I assume, telling whatever guards there are that we need to see Dr. Parenthis. Yes?

    [GRIM TALES] Wulf Ratbane's SLAVELORDS of CYDONIA

    I'll have some snideness with my sarcasm, please. :p I wonder if the caution and waiting we have fallen into is a product of the PbP method, or are we just wusses? Let's go get them! Charge! Seriosuly, if we're all healed up, let's gather our gear and head toward the caves.

    Feast For Crows rocks so far!(small spoilers)

    Brienne's Word I'm not too fond of the "Arya" theory, b/c Brienne doesn't really know much about Arya anyway. Plus, the Jamie/Brienne love and conflict just needs to be played out more, which happens with "sword" and not with "Arya". BTW, I enjoy your posts on the SoIaF boards, Steel Wind...

    Feast For Crows rocks so far!(small spoilers)

    Brienne's Word The word Brienne says at the end of her last chapter is key to what will happen to her: Spoilers: The going theory (one that I think has merit) is that Brienne says "sword". She was offered a choice by Undead Caitlyn -- take up the sword and go kill Jamie (breaking her oath to...

    Graduate Studies course on D&D?

    One of my scholarly/professional interests in the intersection of popular culture and philosophic ideas -- I'm a professor of philosophy and history of education. I use these intersections all the time in my classes as a way to 1. Introduce certain concepts and 2. Get my students to think...

    Do we go this afternoon or wait until morning and see what happens?

    [GRIM TALES] Wulf Ratbane's SLAVELORDS of CYDONIA

    Well, I don' t think Brigitta will just let us run off into the woods and go home. Besides, what fun is that? We could, however, try to see what the natives have to say about this little opperation and get some more info from them. I'm not sure if any of them speak English or not. Teddy will...

    Alternate Endings

    Clerks Clerks has the alternate/original ending where Dante gets shot by an armed robber. The movie originally ends with him lying there, dying. Kevin Smith was persuaded to get rid of that ending; I'm glad. It completely changes the tone of the film.

    [GRIM TALES] Wulf Ratbane's SLAVELORDS of CYDONIA

    Teddy blushes. "Well, uh, I, uh. . . no problem?" We could probably bluff (or intimidate) our way past the guards on the temple doorway. We could carry a crate or something and say Parenthis wanted us to bring it. Maybe we should find out if Parenthis and/or Malouz actually went back into...

    Feast For Crows rocks so far!(small spoilers)

    More spoliers: I think the killing of Robert has already started. IIRC, the Eyrie's Masester has been giving Robert some potion/medicine for the shaking sickness that is supposed to be used very sparingly, but Robert's been taking it fairly regularly. Alayane/Sansa convinces the Maester to...

    [GRIM TALES] Wulf Ratbane's SLAVELORDS of CYDONIA

    Unless the wine is "Wine of Cthulhu", we may have struck out in Malouz' tent. Should we venture back into the caves to find out what's going on in there? That's probably where those guys are at anyway.

    Unfortunately, Teddy can't pick locks. That was always Brigitta's job. Teddy will do a quick search of Malouz's tent: 11. http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=194727 Does it look like Malouz has been here recently? If he doesn't find anything and isn't discovered, he'll head back to...

    Johnny Cash, Pink Floyd

    All of Johnny Cash's albums on American have several cover songs, although none is a Pink Floyd song. I have the discs here in front of me. American Recordings -- Thirteen (Glen Danzig); Bird on a Wire (Leonard Cohen); Down there by the Train (Tom Waits). (The Liner notes for this album are...

    NC Game Day ??? - Did I Miss the Annoucement?

    I'm in like Flynn for the January game day, barring some strange Saturday University commitment. Reveal, I'll be coming up from Rock Hill, but could pick you up at the airport if one of the local folks cannot. It would mean heading up early, but I am fine with that. We can compare tats...

    [GRIM TALES] Wulf Ratbane's SLAVELORDS of CYDONIA

    During day two, Teddy will look for the fat man around the camp. If he doesn't find him, he'll wander over to tubby's tent. He'll listen and see if he hears anyone inside: 6. http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=194572 Hearing nothing, he'll pop on inside. He's not being terribly sneaky...
