brechi's blog is haunted

OK, I'm sure Brechi is really nice and he sounds like a cool blogger and all that, but his blog is haunted. There's this picture of him on one of his entries where he's in a bar and there's a cloud of smoke from some smoker next to him. And THE CLOUD IS SHAPED LIKE AN EVIL SPIRIT WITH IT'S MOUTH OPEN IN AN ETERNAL TORTURED 'OHHHH!' OF WORDLESS AGONY! Meanwhile, Brechi is just sitting there mugging for the camera, completely unaware that the Powers of Darkness are drifting right towards him. Frikkin' creepy-ass picture (not of Brechi, the evil smoke spirit) - go check it out.

My dental appointment and cavity drilling only took a half hour. My how the technology has changed since I got drilled 20 years ago! They no longer use a brontosaurus-sized drill that sounds like, well, a giant drill in your head. They use a tiny, spine-chilling drill instead. And they now don't use the silver stuff, but white-colored stuff to cap your tooth, and then they harden it with a nifty laser light. Cool, but still no fun. I then spent the rest of my day doing chores downtown and a very good workout, after lunch with Chrisafer and Gurl of course.

Excitement is building in intensity for Friday's geekfest, and it's only Monday! One unnamed uber-geek confessed to me as being, "Increasingly excited for Friday's show," and that he/she was, "Most intrigued by Cylon intelligence and networking." The geeks are quaking in their boots, lemme tell ya. Speaking of mega-geeks, we had some nice chili and gaming at Dax and Taz' place Sunday afternoon.

If that was the quote of the week, then the sighting of the week was this wee child I spotted when I was coming out of the dentist's office this morning. Said child was rummaging around in Farragut Square, his negligent tourist parents photographing the statue of Commander Whatever Farragut. The kid was maybe 2 years old at best, able to arrange some strange green stones in a line in the flower bed that he was tromping all over. Upon closer inspection, I saw that the child was arranging TOTALLY GREEN MOLDY BAGELS that someone had left out "for the birds" and the birds clearly said "Hell no!" to them. They provided some entertainment for the child, who should be immune to bacterial infections for the next month or so.

Now if I was a parent, my 2 year old would not be able to touch anything on the ground in The District. In fact, I would keep my child on a levitating disc (5' radius) of invisible force that hovered 2' to 4' above ground level. 200 experience points to the geek who catches that reference. NO PEEKING IN YOUR PLAYER'S HANDBOOK!

It appears that many with in the geek realms are excited about the new Galactica. The darker, sexier Galactica.

I read that elements of the original series will bleed into this remake. So hopefully we can see some old school Cylons or even the Aristocratic "conehead" Cylons. As long as they dont put that daggit back in I will be happy.

Your post inspired me to write an entry about this bratty kid encountered in a restaurant recently.

I feel bad laughing at this, but that is just too funny. Geekasauras is a dying breed. But what would our world be without them?

Well Brechi, according to the 3.5 edition of the Dungeons and Dragons Player's Handbook, you'd need at least a good-aligned 12th level cleric to safely handle the situation. Depending on his turning roll, he may either drive off or destroy the undead menace that's about to eat your face.
