Where do you work, Moth?
I work for an architecture and interior design firm here in Sydney. The young lady in question is one of our interior designers - and in fact the namesake of the damsel in distress from our Age of Darkness game. Not that I'm obsessed or anything. No, really... ;-)

Not the last name, but Gosia, yes. I wanted an unusual sounding name, and recalled a former colleague from my old workplace - who then started working here at my new office a few weeks after we started the game!

What nationality is the name "Gosia"? Never heard it before...
Random sh"te thread indeed... ;-)

I just got back from a 50-mile canoe trek in Canada with my Venture crew (the mutant offspring of the Explorers and Boy Scouts: a co-ed program for fourteen to twenty-two-year-olds that involves lots of strenuous excercise).
I was surprised to realize that the group was almost entirely gamers, including several Paizonians:
- Myself
- Dirk Gently
- AWED, and
- Rhyan Garrow, as well as:
-Andy the Game Crasher (see one-liners/Drizzt vs Elminster/place your rant here threads)
- one of the mastermind/concept artists behind Ollie Canal's World of Rym, and
- a master model-builder and wargamer that has three model airplanes in the Smithsonian

Sheesh the news is nuts; real life is two wierd to be believed and the news is not reported worth a damn; like today's excercism story where the police killed the grandfather performing the story; there is so much missing from that story that it is more like a punch in the mouth than a news story.
Reason #256 I hate the news. I watch it every once in a while, but I've decided that newspapers don't have commercials. Well, they have ads, but I can skip those. News channels suck: I want information, not entertainment. Not that your lame graphics and melodramatic scripts are entertaining.

Am I sorry your sky went black,
put your knives in babies backs?
Am I sorry you killed the Kennedy's and Huxley too?
But I'm sorry Shakespeare
was your scapegoat
and your apples sticking into my throat
Sorry your Sunday smiles are rusty nails
and your crucifixion commercials failed
but I'm just a pitiful anonymous
And I see all the young believers
Your target audience
I see all the old deceivers
we all just sing their song
Am I sorry to be alive
putting my face in the beehive?
Am I sorry for Booth and Oswald, pinks and cocaine too?
I'm sorry you never check
the bag in my head for a bomb
and my halo was a needle hole
I'm sorry I saw a priest being beaten
and I made a wish
but I'm just a pitiful anonymous
And I see all the young believers
Your target audience
I see all the old deceivers
we all just sing their song
we all just sing their song
"the valley of death we are free
your father's your prison you see"
And I see all the young believers
Your target audience
I see all the old deceivers
we all just sing their song
you're just a copy of an imitation

We have a phantom ice cream truck in our neighborhood. We always hear it but never see the damned thing. I want a pink sherbet that looks like a foot with a gumball for the big toenail too, damnit!
You're a stronger man than I am, Daigle. I'd still be running around the neighborhood looking for it.
Until I found it.
Period.

...how awesome is this mini? (The one with the toad obviously. Not the pirate, though he's pretty cool too I guess).
Not quite as awesome as THIS!
Do you think they got my good side...?
(Hope that works; I'm still new to this blogging lark...).

There is a truly HUGE spider under the bed! :( :O And I'm frightened.
Pfff. I've got a whole colony of 'em between my bed and my bedside table. They keep the buzzing things away. I like spiders better than buzzing things, spiders are quiet when they bite you in the middle of the night. I may wake up looking like a plague victim, but at least no stupid flies keep me up.

Here is little snap of the offender - Peter the Spider :) I've decided to let him/her stay, there a moth problem here and I could do with some eight legged help. Moths eat clothes and there is no frikken way thats happening!

It seems to be a male 'Tegeneria domestica' or common house spider. :) So much for my big bad wolf theory!
Yeah, I caught this absolutely huge spider in my bedroom a couple weeks back. It didn't look like any of the spiders we normally get, and I figured it as a Funnelweb. But I looked it up later, and it was more likely to have been a female Huntsman (much less deadly) ... probably a good thing as it turns out, seeing as I let it go in my neighbour's tree.

Nah, I stole it from the pending midlife crisis (It's pending for everyone under 35). It's a red convertable and its, uh... fast. Can you tell I know nothing about cars?
