Apparently HEB has a new commercial. And most of it I can get behind since it's extolling the awesomeness that is Texas. However .... there is no way that I can agree on the line in the song that the commercial ends in. Because, obviously, you 'can' spell Texas without H 'and' B! I'm not a huge shopper of HEB to begin with but that's something that's likely to simply make me not want to ever shop there. I watch Hulu to avoid crap like this ...

Am I a snob for refusing to game with certain people? A guy moved to our table last night, new season of Encounters so new characters and new story line, and Lynn and I moved to a different table. I was sad to leave our awesome DM but at least the table that we were being asked to go to was being DMed by somebody we'd played with before and like playing with. One of our other tablemates moved with us too. The other tablemate stayed with the original DM but seemed very unhappy with the idea. None of us wanted to game with that particular guy who would have been joining our table because he tries to cheat and bend the rules to the point where it's just not fun for anybody else. Though, the new thing of strongly suggesting that we sit at certain tables that are picked for us each season doesn't hit well with me either. I 'liked' the group we were with, a good DM and a fun group that worked well together. To imply that we had to break our groups apart and move around just doesn't sit well with me. I don't play with certain people there for a reason.

There's a trainer out for Orson Scott Card's Formic Wars: Burning Earth. Thanks to lackland for sending it my way. I'll have to keep an eye out for this series, it'll be a nice addition to our collections, both of comics and the Ender Saga. Of course that means finding a comic store around here that I actually like and going on a regular basis.

Dreams:
Lately my dreams have been full of the frustrating. Either I'm dreaming about knitting and I wake up and all that progress that I got done while my eyes were closed is nonexistent or I'm dreaming about seeing the New Guy. Those are also satisfying dreams while they're happening but then I wake up and realize that I'm no closer to actually seeing him than I was before laying down to sleep. I love the idea of a job and going back to school but currently both of those things for him is meaning that he has no time clear for me to go see him for a couple of days. Even the time that he would have free for Spring Break is filled up with training. I understand it but it's still a bit frustrating as, well, I'd like to see him and apparently my libido agrees given the dreams it's haunting me with.
