Such a fine ship.

I think I'm going to ask someone to draw the Filthy Whore.

That probably requires some explanation there. The Filthy Whore is the name of the ship the characters will hopefully be spending a lot of time on within the Star Wars d20 game I'm running here. I say hopefully because one never knows what other people are going to do in a roleplaying game. Especially a group of people who have never really played the d20 rulesystem. Their character generations were all a treat for me. I'm always amazed at other people when character creation time comes around. Alex for example is for all intents and purposes a mechanic. A really really good one who can also crack just about any computer system given enough time, but he wanted his character this way. He doesn't actually know how to use a blaster either, but of course he carries one on him... I mean it just looks cool. Becca's character on the other hand is shaping up to be every mechanics worst nightmare. Her character can take the parts of three wrecked things and make one mostly working one out of it. And quickly too. Or take one perfectly healthy thing and make it better in someways, and the others... well you didn't really need that did you? And Ben, well Ben is special in his own right when it comes to RPGs. As far as I can tell his character (so far) is a paper pushing beaurocrat who loves his job.

That's right, in a fantasy game, with the force, blasters, starships, and aliens, Ben made a red-tape flunkie who's idea of a good time is collating data. I don't even pretend to understand. It's there call though, if anything it'll be interesting. I'm just hoping the fourth person in on the game decides to learn how to fight. Or the fifth if they don't. Or I'm gonna burn through NPC's like there's no tomorrow. That's what the Filthy Whores there for though right? At least I hope so. For all I know they could ram the thing into the ground, or more likely get themselves killed anyways. We shall see. Anyways, the name is in homage to another vessel from another time and place. There's actually a prize bounty for whomever can figure out where it's from so I won't reveal anymore here. But I think I'm going to try and get someone to draw her. I couldn't do it very well, so I think I'll ask some of my artiste friends.


I had the annoying misfortune of picking yet another drier that doesn't actually dry your clothes. Which sucks since each load costs $1.50 to run! I'd be in bed now if it weren't for all the clothes spread around and hanging that are trying to dry out. Stupid machines! Do your freakin' jobs!

On to more pressing matters: I'm tired. I'm about to go to bed. Have to get up early to go visit all my friends at their workplaces. Happy funtimes! On another note, I have a new Hobgoblin goblet style glass. It's pretty sweet.

Go Iraq for having elections, good luck to the country.

WHY! HOW! WHAT!

God I hate the Nighthawks. They burned me again! AGAIN! It's uncanny! At least this it went into overtime instead of losing by 9 points. God Friday night was aweful. Except for the hookers and blackjack. That was fun.

I think I hate O'Tool

Whatever - Ayumi Hamasaki

My god.

I'm sort of in shock right now. How the freakin' hell is it possible for the Rock to lose to Rochester, of all boring as sin upstate New York cities, 15-6?!? And at home? The ACC? That goalie was on steroids. I DEMAND A TEST!

It's okay though, because they're going to redeem temselves tonight. THEY WILL DAMN IT! I'll be watching. Oh, will I be watching.

On another note, woot for the elections in Iraq. I don't pray often, God's busy enough, but I did so that they'd go well. We need to get out of there. Democracy is a wonderful thing when applied correctly and not corrupted. And why are people now talking about Iran? That would be a very bad idea. This comic says it very well I think.

I hope the author doesn't mind that I'm telling people about his comic, but if he does sorry and he can complain about it to make me do something else. If not then I don't care.

White Rabbit's Line Here

I was going to post, but I need to get to lacrosse!

Spoonboy - Ashley MacIsaac

Long overdue again.

Sheesh! I haven't been very good about staying up to date have I? Long ago I promised to write up about the following;

My Vacation
NintendoDS
Lord of the Rings bragging rights
The start of the 2005 NLL season (Go Rock Go!)
The film 'The Kings Guard'
Blue Jays Tickets
Babylon 5 CCG Victories
People I know who work at Chapters Starbucks
People who won't visit me at school
d20 Star Wars RPG
Katy and her being almost the coolest person ever (allowances made for religious icons and future heros who save the world. And Kaneda, 'cause he's so badass)

So here goes! Time to catch up. My vacation was pretty boring for the first week seeing as how no one was home. I harrassed Craig a lot. That was about it, it was good fun. I think he appreciated the attention being the only person left in Wakefield when the rest of us are at school. Carnival still reigns SUPREME for all us AC players out there!

My Nintento DS has been named Wes Janson. He is my firstborn child. And he kicks ass.

Our annual Lord of the Rings Trivia contest was held for the current class of frosh. Of course Alumni showed up in swarms. What I was most angry and dissapointed with though was the attendance of the Frosh. Freakin' abysmal. I just don't think they've been motivated properly enough, but the question remains, whips or cattleprods? I'm quite happy to report that the Alumni won bragging rights after defeating both morning and afternoon classes in the mortal combat of trivia. And both by one question of tie breakers! Alex and myself completely carried the morning assault on the pride and ego of the morning class. Ben was of course there for his witty remarks and joke answers when no one actually knew the answer. There was one member of the morning class whom I should mention. He was good. In that he answered all but one of the questions they got right against us, and only because as he opened his mouth one of his teammates said it faster. He has earned our respect, not easily accomplished, and will be accepted into our elite society and given access to our priveledges and comforts. After we get the whole thing organized and what not. The second years actually decided to show up to the afternoon one so it was a contest there as well, but still the upper years gained advantage even without Alex or myself being allowed to aid them. Good times, Prof. Brown sure knows how to throw a party.

The NLL season has started. The Rock are up, I'm freakin' excited man! I've got people going to games with me! I've got sports watching guys nights only set up, pizza+beer+sports=awesome. Swweeeeet.

The Kings Guard has become my new favorite movie. This isn't based on any sort of quality of film making or anything silly like that. It's so bad it's delicious!

I got tickets to every Red Sox game in Toronto for this summer. KICKASS! I even got tickets to the Oakland game for the tenth one, so I guess Maria will kill me if she doesn't go to that one. The Orlando Hudsun bobble heads I have are... interesting...

In the Realm of the Babylon 5 CCG I am still undefeated here at school. In the most recent game I pulled off the greatest victory I have ever conceived, lol. So I was playing my brand spankin' new Psi Corps deck and it's decent, not very fun though since it tends to be fairly slow and its really hard to gain experience from Psi Conflicts. Here's how I won though. I pulled out Babylon 5 Fighters and used them to support my Crusade conflict. Since I kept winning (military 6, and I had a Black Omega Pilot in case I needed to beef it up) I kept placing one influence into B5's pile and returning Crusade to my hand. I kept this up, really confusing Maria and Drew since I continuously remained at about 5 influence less then them. So they ignored me. Until I played my Agenda. I don't remember the exact name but basically it reads 'If Babylon5's influence reaches 20 and the Shadow War has not begun, count B5's influence as power. You may transfer influence to Babylon 5 at a rate of 1 per turn. Hahahahahahaha! I think Drew almost turned purple there for a second he got mad. His range of expletives ranged quite far and wide accross the spectrum. And he promptly did his level best to destroy the poor little Psi Corps. Maria just read the card, laughed, looked at Drew, laughed, looked at me, laughed, and then said "you tricked us!" I won by getting by getting my head handed to me by Drew. I went from 9 or 10 influence to maybe 4 before I just transferred one influence to B5 and won. Lol, I so pulled that game out from under everybody. Ha ha ha!

Oh! Starbucks! Nicole works there now! It's great! Now when I visit I go see Emily and Nicole in the Starbucks on a monday morning, get a toffee nut latte so when I go upstairs to visit Katy in Chapters, she's not infuriated that I'm visiting her at work. I like how there's order to the universe. Makes things easy for lazy people like me.

People who don't visit me at school includes... EVERYBODY. You ALL suck. And until you come, you will SUCK.

I've started planning for the Star Wars RPG, players include Joe, Ben, Alex, and Becca. I'm excited about it since I think it will be fun. Whether it is or isn't I won't care! One last thing. Joe sucks at making a character. This is going to be a headache and a half.

Katy reigns almost supreme! She really only needs to bestow powers to her followers and be observed walking on water to heal dying swans before she can join the ranks of Jesus and Prof. Brown.

Annoying

WTF mates?

So I wrote about two pages worth of stuff. I have no idea what happened to it but when I posted it, it disappeared. Which means I have to re-type all of it. Maybe later. I just got back from class and I'm annoyed.

Succession of Witches - Nobuo Uematsu

This post went up just fine so I have no idea what happened last night.
