I apologize for the overuse of the word "amazing." Also, HOLY FUCK DID THIS GET LONG.

First of all, many thanks go out to hazliya and elenuial for writing yet another amazing game and for casting me in a role that I adored. While BoD is not my favorite LARP of theirs (Leash was too awesome for words, Martha Stewart had perhaps the most quotable lines, and ( Read more... )

So, touchthesoul linked to this blog on Facebook, where the author is reading the Hunger Games trilogy for the first time, completely blind. And his very first chapter review reminded me of something I'd thought of when I first read the trilogy and had forgotten, caught up with everything else.

There're these two throw-away lines:

shogunhb: I'm going to put a dot in ride. I know how to ride a pony. I have a pony!

ddrpolaris: How many dots or Resources do you have?

shogunhb: ...None?

ddrpolaris: Sorry. Ponies are for little girls who have trust funds.

I'm feeling pretty lousy today (sore throat, headache, general malaise), but this website did put a smile on my face. Okay and made me cry. h/t to touchthesoul* While doing homework on one of the university computers, I spied Sailor Moon manga on one of the others. It turned out to be a very large, imposing football player reading it. He told me that it was ( Read more... )

Played in hazliya's game Martha Stewart's Guide to Interdimensional Summoning (and Basting a Turkey) yesterday and had a blast. My character was a bit of a deviation from the norm: she was neither a thief, a whore, or an assassin (though she was a princess). Instead, she was the mental equivalent of a 14 year old girl obsessed with Disney movies and ( Read more... )

Looks like fall lasted as long as spring did this year. shogunhb and I left the restaurant to find it...snowing. *shudders* Blecch.

Me: *stepping out of the restaurant* It's SNOWING! *is offended*
shogunhb: No it's not. It's...err...rain ( Read more... )

ddrpolaris: offering character types in a possible upcoming game You can play a sex-bot...
Me: I already play a sexbot in another transhuman game.
ddrpolaris: No, you play a killbot pretending to be a sexbot. One that just likes to have sex before killing things.
Me: No, she has sex after killing things. It's in her programming.
ddrpolaris: Really ( Read more... )
