Pirates of Darkwater was Monkeybirdtastic!Just checked out the very small PODW RPG- very good, very simple game made for kids. I'd actually show the cartoon to kids and then get them to play the game just to get them into roleplaying overall. Of course, I would like to see a more serious D20/3.5 RPG as well....::strokes fuzzy chin:: Maybe I should add this to my to-do list.
I know it would be a pretty cool world to play in. I'd maybes just steal from it for when I run STAP. :)

The wife and I went to the second concert here in Phily put on by The Police last night. Our tickets ($50 each) had us in the top level, on the opposite side of the oval from the stage - not the best, but not too bad.
We get to the arena, and I have to use the bathroom. When I come out, my wife says, "Give me your ticket, I got us better seats." She explains that some guy came along with a stack of tickets for seats closer to the stage and on the lower level, and just to give him your old tickets. At first I thought she'd been conned, but when we found the guy he showed me his ID, and it was legit. So we got better seats - about 40 feet from the side of the stage. SWEET!!!!!!
Elvis Costello opened, and Sting even came out and sang with him on one song. The Police played from 8:45 until almost 10:30. All in all, it f@%@ing ROCKED!!!!!!!!
If you promise you won't laugh, you can read the spoiler.
I didn't get my license until I was 22, almost 23. :P
Yeah, my boss' wife is from Dublin and she doesn't have one at 30ish. Of course, she's lived in NYC/Jersey City since she came over here, so it's not a big deal.
Doctor Who and Captain Picard on the same stage. Words fail!
My best mate has finally decided to get that nose job he's always wanted after breaking it a load of times... SO we're off to Prague for a couple of days in the next few months -YAY!
However it does look a bit Hostel over there (sorry Prague) -hope I can keep him away from beautiful girls... :D

I know that one, and King Lear, and Othello real good.
Names and everything mostly, nuncle.
Haven't seen the latter two (though they had Ian McKellern in Lear last year at the RSC - more nerdy goodness). So far, the one I have enjoyed the most is Henry VI, Parts 1, 2 and 3 (ok, that's actually three plays, but they run like sequels). At Stratford they did them on successive weeks with the same cast members, so it was like watching a serial - absolutley brilliant! (We then saw Richard III a few weeks later, which is a bit like part 4, again with the same cast.) So far, my favorite plays of Shakespeare have been the history plays - the tragedies are OK, the comedies can be variable, but for a good bit of bloodletting and mayhem there's nothing to beat the histories.

I like the tragedies best, I reckon.
I didn't study the histories at all, but we had a Hamlet scholar come in in 12th grade and explain it all really well.
I explicated the unholy f~~+ out of Othello in 10th grade; I was in advanced 11th grade English and being extremely intimidated went over the top with everything I did.
So, last year Tor Books held a calendar competition to benefit amyloidosis research and planned to publish a Wheel of Time calendar since the late Robert Jordan suffered from the disease. I won a spot (I guess you can call me "Mr. October"; I look so good in that spooky speedo) and I just got my advance copy. I'm not entirely thrilled with it, but it's for a good cause and I hope it sells a lot of copies.
So keep an eye out this fall for the 2009 Wheel of Time calendar (assuming you haven't spent your 2009 calendar budget on the Cute Overload Page-A-Day that Workman Publishing, my daytime employers, are putting together) and maybe make 2009 October all year long?

I am me, again. After four months, one hour after taking the better hormone, the garbage drained out of my brain and I was literally running up and down the stairs screaming and whooping (my wife and son are out of town) because of the energy surge. I’m reading up on the news, and it makes sense. I can concentrate; I can remember words. Now to get back to much neglected Play by Posts!

Hey cmon, that's only ~$19 an orgasm. Not bad in a recession!
Saw Hamlet in Stratford-upon-Avon last night - with David Tennant as Hamlet and Patrick Stewart as Claudius/The Ghost.
Wow.

That would be worth seeing
First phone interview turned into a 2nd phone interview tomorrow with Director of Ops. There are still real obstacles, but the position might be a possibility.

Finally getting over this ick-plague thing the family has had recently.
Getting to play some Oblivion finally.
Was paid for commissions, which means I can stretch easily to make it to payday. Hooray!
Ghirardelli Chocolates is hiring! Not their store, their manufacturing plant. And I happen to have the broad and obscure skill set that they want in an R&D Chocolatier.
I WANT this job.
I brewed my first batch of beer yesterday!!! Huzzah!
Hey awesome! I have mint / rose hip wine brewing downstairs. The winelock I cobbled together keeps making me look around for the source of the drip.

I have a date on Wednesday. Like, with a real girl. No blow-up doll this time. I hope.
Cmon' man, spill it! How did the date go?
Oh, it's coming up on Wednesday. Haven't had it yet.
I plan to be as smooth as peanut butter, though.
