fishin'
Here's one of the fish me and My'ra caught on our last trip to West Virginia. I think it's a bass. We let it go though, having not caught enough to warrant a cleaning. Take note that it's a modified deep-sea rod with a kiddie reel attached, and we were still slayin' em.
This Saturday we will undertake the greatest fusion of homosexuality and geekdom known: we will be having brunch on Saturday before playing Dungeons and Dragons. Nobody will ever say I was pretentious. I actually have a more difficult time "coming out" about my hobby than I do with my orientation. People still think you dress up in costumes and go kill people in the sewers, a la Tom Hanks' first film "Rona Jaffe's 'Mazes and Monsters'". We are more like a bitchy bridge club on crack. Much of our time is spent gossiping, talking about the weekend's conquests, and talking about the other people in the group who couldn't make it for that session. It's fun though, although we've moved on from the hack and slash approach to better role-playing (on paper!). I like to describe the game like Monopoly, except your little miniatures gather more than property and hotels, and have more personality.
AOL's laying off more people, and several Webmasters I know are out of work. I guess I'll keep my job at the airport and be happy.

I remember that movie. Very bizarre. The one thing I really remember about it was them speeding through Manhattan trying to save someone, and my brother, who was living in NY at the time, saying, that would never happen. First, they could never just speed through town like that; second, somebody would kill them if they really honked their horn constantly like that. Strange the things we remember from our youth.
