Hmm ... You seen the recent movies House of the Flying Daggers and/or Hero? Two great movies, although the last is by far my favorite of the two.

I own both of them! And I own very few movies. They're great!

heh.... page 178

page 177 had only 2 posts that were not from you. I wonder what the mods will say about that. You might want to look at Randomling's House. They have a thriving hivemind. This one is dying. There are not enough of us here to keep it alive much longer.

Good morning lads and lasses.

Wow. A whole page of posts by Mega alone...

Yes ... it is true that the hive seems to be not seeing as much activity these days. Seems to me that more people lurk and browse through it than post in it.

It is supposed to be 60 degrees here today. Major hacking away at the snow that is still left.

Must admit, though, that it is finally beginning to feel like spring - which is nice. I am one of those sorts really into the seasons. You know,what people throughout the ages have thought about what they mean, how they affect the souls of people, etc., etc. There have been some who have taken the seasons as a paradigm to organize human knowledge and experience. (I seem to remember one contemporary writer quoting Aristotle, for example.) I have read some folks that try to use the paradigm as a way to organize history as well.

I was never too convinced by it as an all-encompassing "solution" I guess. Like most things, there is a percentage of truth in it (the percentage is another issue), but it is not the whole kitten kaboodle!

Needless to say, the seasons were always important for me in rpg's, especially if I was DM'ing. When I was the player I always liked to know what was going on in this sense in the setting.

Anyhoo ... hows other folks today? If I remember correctly Saturdays are usually pretty slow here in the hive.

So....mega...mania....Al.....what to talk about now? No one stays up past 9pm anymore so it is strictly up to our splintered minds and imagination to carry on the dying Hive.




....and yes folks... it is dying.

Was gaming last night. The night before, I went to bed early as the high winds were playing havoc with the power; it blinked twice, the second time taking out my desktop comp. Guessing it's the power supply that went as everything else attached to that power strip (including this laptop) works fine. But don't have the $$ for a new PS.

Well.... it isn't much to everyone here I suppose but I am entered into the company finals at Stewarts.

Stewarts is my second full time job. We are known for our dairy products especially our icecream. Every year the company holds a contest.

Last year I won the store contest and fell in at 3rd place for district. 10 dollars. yeah.


This year, won the store again AND District level 10+50 dollars (Ghost Rider / Bridges movies)

So next Thursday I go to the company main plant and Dip Off vs the other district winners. Rub elbows with the millionaires and the such.

Like I said .... nothing big to you folks (convience store) but it brings some prestige to our store (1 of about 350).

I was in our company's biscuit roll-off competition last month. Got as far as somewhere in the top 3 in the regional semi-finals (out of 8 contestants). Finals woulda been going to the company headquarters in Charlotte in their state-of-the-art kitchen with probably the company prez in attendance...

Not a big whoop either... But sorta prestigious in the company to be able to make procedure-based biscuits in under 5 minutes.

The three personalities that make up some deranged fat guy in Vermont regroup snickering at their own bad humor and waste of time.

And here I thought you were channeling Torm.... but then he lives in South Carolina....

I'll pop in at some point during the weekend. If only to say hi like tonight.

Stop with those blinkin' teleports!!!

 

[Darth K'Trava]

....or comicbooks.....

Haven't bought any new ones as they're too expensive. Bought a bunch at the last Heroes' Con from a dealer selling them for 50 cents each. Got alotta Savage Dragon issues outta that. Love Savage Dragon.

We'll have to ask Aurora when she gets back.

I've seen commercials for it. It looks interesting. Most movies that come out this time of year isn't that great.

Which is why #1 we went to go see Zodiac because pretty much everything else looks like it blows. #2 The 300 is gonna clean up next week when it opens. Oh yeah, and I already have tickets Gonna go see it on the IMAX screen in Cinci. It is a really nice theatre with assigned seats. We went to go see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory there when it was in the theatres.
