As much as I love Bowie and the Stones, I have to say: Get that shiznit out of here!
EDIT: IIRC, Martha started out as Berry Gordy's secretary. (Or was that Mary Wells? Damn those decades of pot-smokin'!)

I lost a member this week. To be honest, the kid should have been fired years ago, but we are a mighty union and we take care of ours.
The Business Agent got the company to agree to pay unemployment if the member resigned, which was the best deal we could have gotten under the circumstances, but still, it rankles. I'm taking away 1 level of Teamster steward in penance.

I've been like military marching songs. I listen to British ones from the 18th and 19th centuries. I started with the Grenadier's March (a classic), but, following the Similar Videos thingy in Youtube, ended up in the German-speaking (I'm not qualified to say which countries which videos are from) military marching song section. As it turns out, that stuff is actually pretty good. Here:
I need to start sticking my head outside of the English-speaking military music sections more often.

Movies, Movies, Movies!
Sunshine: I thought this movie was pretty awesome. A.
Killing Zoe: I can't believe I have never seen this before! And a day later, I got to link it on the Fascism: Alive and Well thread! Hee hee! Also, I don't believe I'd ever seen Julie Delpy naked before. Bonus! A.
Cowboys & Aliens: This movie was better than I dared to hope, but not as good as I had dreamed. Better than most of the other comic book movies I've seen lately, though. B+

Checking in after . . . a week? Five days? Three? Who the f@~@ knows?!
This week is crazy. Three midterms + two in-turned assignments. (One if screwing around with an Excel spreadsheet, so I might actually have to buy Microsoft Office. Damn Microsoft.)
Um . . . oh yeah, I had a birthday last weekend, which is one of the reasons this week is so hectic. We didn't do much. Actually, right before that we celebrated my mom's birthday. People kinda dropped the ball on that one, I'm afraid. I ended up making coffee cake and whipped cream at 9:00 because no one made a cake before then. It was fairly good I guess.
Good luck on staying smoke-free, BT? I can't remember if you've said that you're trying to quit, or if it's for health reasons, or you just haven't gotten to the store lately. But um good luck all the same.
DA, you need to subvert the automobilarchical paradigm! Buy a cheap foreign bike!

--Happy birthday Gark! You better have gotten B's or better in all of your subjects, or I'm going to send AZ out there to spank you!
As for the whole automobile thing--I already did my environmental time, thank you. Never had a car until I was 32. Unfortunately, I work 25 miles from my home and I'm not riding my bike across the state borders at 2 in the morning! Sorry, Mother Earth, I just don't love you that much. I do carpool, though.
--BT, I, unfortunately, have no helpful advice. I tried the patch once, and it took away the physical part of the addiction, but I still wanted to do it, and did. Also, if you wear them when you're asleep, you have awesome dreams! I swear by the powers of dialectical materialism, one time I dreamed that I was a werewolf in the Buffyverse who Angel and his crew were helping get into Sunnydale to grab a magic ring, but Buffy and the Scoobies thought I was evil, so we had a big fight...and then I woke up. What does this have to do with your struggle against addiction? Uh, nothing, I guess.
--What up, Mama Kelsey?!?

Did you check out the Killing Zoe link above? That movie rocked!
I gave up on world-building years ago. I remember when I was little I spent a whole summer inventing a town of 1000 people where I tried to detail every single member of the community--it didn't work.
After my decades-long hiatus from fantasy role-playing games, I again tried to build a world (I cribbed a lot from the 3rd edition Nyambe: African Adventures book, which was awesome, btw) and, again, it didn't work. Now I just use published campaign worlds, it's so much easier.
But I eagerly await what you're working on. It'd better be cool!

Speaking of strange dreams:
Last night, I dreamt I was with one of the girls I necked with back in high school.
Yes, it was a sexytime dream, but I won't bore you with that--the weird part was that, before we commenced with sexytime, I was doing her dishes and she was telling me to wash the dairy dishes in the bathroom sink! Now, she was Jewish, but her family didn't keep kosher.
Weird.
My subconscious is anti-Semitic.

I have two campaign settings. One is the stone age islands, the other is medieval magitech with a modernistic society.
I want a flamboyant Spanish warrior dwarf. Bard, Fighter, Paladin, Ranger, Barbarian, Magus, and mountless Cavalier seem flavorful options.
I also have a name for her. Yes, it is long. Long fits the flavor I want.

Doodlebug Anklebiter |

Paladin.
Paladins should have long names.
I have a human paladin that I play in a campaign that meets infrequently.
His name, for short, is Lord Pelindyr.
But his given name is Gareth Ambrosius D'Arcy Abelmarle, XVIII Earl of Pelindyr.
You should make her a Dona (with a tilda, I don't know how to make international punctuation.)

I'm quitting for health reasons. My age, weight, and lifestyle choices are catching up to me. Working 7 days a week 13 hours a day for months at a time is all about endurance. Quitting smoking and getting my fat ass into the gym are low hanging fruit that I have to grab. There's more to it than that, but I'm not inclined to air it out on the interwebs.
However we have PM now so we could exchange numbers and drunk call each other from time to time. ;)

PMing, yup, but no phone, at least not for now. My cell broke It's such a relief to not get a hail of text-messages at 3 in the morning from f!@*-ups who can't get to work on time that I'm in no hurry to replace it!
And now I have to check out Mama Kelsey's Stone Age world-building.
