Video of Kaminari Taiko's 2006 free autumn performance in Houston:

Kaminari Taiko at Miller Outdoor Theater

This 'related' video is kinda bad ass...

That is cool!

Koto is pretty cool to watch someone play - especially songs where they retune it in the middle! I had a friend in Japan that took traditional dancing lessons, and she had a friend on the koto and shakuhachi while she danced as a performance for my mother and aunt and me when they visited. It was very cool!

I'm mostly just trying to see if Freehold DM would actually die of jealousy...:P

Eeew. That's what I get for indulging my curiosity...

Let me help with that...

Oh yes, you KNOW where this is going.

Ahem...
Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don't care, I'm still free
You can't take the sky from me
Take me out to the black
Tell them I ain't comin' back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can't take the sky from me
There's no place I can be
Since I found Serenity
But you can't take the sky from me...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!

This TOTALLY explains the bad sleep I had last night!!!!

Off and on for about a year now, you should ask Flash sometime about watching me yank half of it out with a pair of pliers while he just sat there saying "What the f%#&.", unfortunately I only got half of it out.
Jeez, I know that feeling. My wisdom teeth cracked after they came in. After several tooth infections and lots and lots of pain, they're finally fallen out. It took a long time, months or possibly up two years now. I really wasn't counting, but it's been a long process. :(

YIKES! Why haven't you guys gone to the dentist????

Speaking of, I finally have my appointment for next month(!!!) for a basic cleaning and a look at how far along my gum disease(!!!!!!) is. *sigh*

I'll just be over here in the corner whimpering. I have such a horror if dentistry. And clowns. The scariest thing in the world to me would be a clown dentist. I don't know why that isn't the subject of every horror film ever made.

On a more serious note: I hope the dental hell is over for you soon.

I remember a cheesy horror film about something like that in the 80s...I don't know if that was the main thrust of the film, but there was at least one scene. Terrified my friend, I thought it was hilarious.

I would have ended up on a milk carton for something like that. Sometimes when she was pissed, my mom would get quiet then point to the milk carton, and I KNEW I was on thin ice indeed.

I am suddenly grateful mine got yanked out in high school.

~whistles~ Me too!

Even though I skipped the dentist for almost half of my life, I'm tellin' ya, it's time to plan a visit.

I'm long overdue. :/ As soon as I'm gainfully employed w/ insurance, it's one of the first things on my to-do list.


So....was it the Doritos dust that got the ISP back online? Maybe I should buy some.

Yeah... that would go on the list of movies I never want to see. But I generally just don't watch horror flicks anyway-- I have a fairly low tolerance for either scary stuff or gore in movies. Combining the two is just a big no for me.


I love horror flicks!!

Morning, all. What did I miss?


I went to the hair salon yesterday. Here are the before and after pictures.

Included are pictures of "Not a Sock Puppet".

Maybe I'm missing something, but the 'after' photo looks pretty similar to the 'before' photo. ??? Or are the after photos not up yet?

Well, Sid and Nancy caused a nation-wide panic when, in their frenzied, worktime lovemaking, they accidently caused the company servers to go down. Meanwhile, a massive snow storm buried the bus being used as transportation by the We Hate Joss Whedon anti-fan club, stranding them on a desolate stretch of Route 66. And across town, everyone was preparing for the arrival of.....No, wait! That's my soap opera!

Silverhair, you've put up two before pictures!

Scarab Sages

Huzzah for "flagging and moving on".


OKay, order of presentation:

first picture was the day before having hair cut; second and third picture are after trip to hair salon and getting hair cut; fourth and fifth pictures were from the topic called "Not a Sock Puppet".

Sorry if that confused anyone.

Ponytail sent to Locks Of Love.

EDIT: Sorry don't usually deal with pictures so didn't realize they required a posting of public pictures.


Hubby has gone back to bed. Poor thing is still woozy from too many painkillers. :S

Maybe we're only seeing the pictures from 'Not a sock puppet'? I can only see two pictures loaded in February 2010.


Try Now.


silverhair2008 wrote:

No change. It's still the same two photos from Feb 27, 2010.


Okay, I give up. Sorry I cannot function as a picture poster today. Let's just leave it that the hair was cut and the ponytail sent off.

Sovereign Court

I can see the more recent three images, now, but not the two I saw originally. I think that's enough to see the haircut, though. :)

Now when I go back to the link, I see this:

You must be signed in to see this content from silverhair2012.

Which means the pictures are private and requires me an account. Can't the photos be 'public' like the other photos?

Something wrong with you-all! (Sorry to state the obvious.)

When I got there, it said, "Silverhair is outside your safety settings. If you want to see his pictures anyway, click through." >>Yes<<

I know he said that the hair was going to Locks of Love, but as to what triggered it, I don't recall reading.

They drilled mine out of my skull in high school because of how they were coming in. It was unpleasant.

I am ok. I picked the public posting on Flickr, but apparently it doesn't work for Grouchy Old Farts. I wanted to post the change I made to hair length but it wouldn't work. So I am moving on. Thanks to those of you that commented on my giving the hair to Locks Of Love. it is on the way there as I post this. I hope it gives someone some self respect.

What's broke? The class or the player?

Spoiler:
thread in question

I'm playing a summoner in our campaign right now. And I've seen a fair amount of hatred for that class -- most of which seems to revolve around incorrect builds if anything. But the more I look at the discussions, I can't help but wonder if it's the player that's "broke". I'd post something but I'm sure that it would devolve into a flame war that I ultimately don't care about.

My summoner has a quadruped eidolon so it has a lot of attacks making it somewhat useful in combat. Although it nearly died in a fight recently and I had to dismiss it. The summoner part I'm building more along the lines of a utility character and building up use magic device (since we don't have a mage other than me).

If I really cared, I'm sure that I could build an incredible character of any class that would totally dominate any and every combat scenario. That just isn't me or how I like to play (or what I consider "fun").

Am I alone?


Oh, no. It can't be the player. And certainly not the GM. It's Jason Bulmahn that's broke! Get him!


Today is a ugh day. Thank God I am off though.


Actually in our gaming group the Boyfriend has made the comment that the Summoner and Alchemist are overpowered with a few attacks/abilities in the way our group builds em. He has had to make a few new house rules.

Am I alone?

I am having a very hard time dealing with the summoner in my Kingmaker campaign. Part of this was errors in how he was being played that we have since corrected, part of this is a smart player well min maxed. Part of this is the nature of enemies they've faced - dumb beasts or those unfamiliar with them would be unaware of the fact that it's critical to attack the summoner and not the eidolon. Now that they are a year into ruling their kingdom, they will be facing more intelligent opponents that are aware of their abilities.

Another part of the problem is I have seven PCs, four of whom have pets and all but one of whom have spellcasting abilities.

...

Yeah, I need to rewrite a lot to make things even mildly interesting for them.
