Morgoth Bauglir: A day in the life of a Dark Lord

Sick like an animal what has been infected with the ebola virus AND the flu AND malaria AND strep throat AND aids AND a nasty bowel infection...

Only one of the above maladies actually applies, and it isn't ebola OR the flue OR malaria OR aids OR a nasty bowel infection. Just a nasty sore throat that keeps bothering me. At any rate, the weekend was quite good. Friday night, Deck and I went to see The Corpse Bride, which was okay, though not as good as its predecessor (Nightmare Before Christmas). Then, through an intricate series of events, lost his dog, and then found it. Long story short, we abused our lungs and our livers. Saturday rolled around, which meant gameage. We started a new campaign, this one Urban Arcana, with Tramp as the new GM. It was most enjoyable. In the evening, I went to see my friend Sarah's new movie, which was definitely a work in progress. The story was good and compelling, but from a technical perspective, it did not look finished. It was, however, a good opportunity to see friends who had not been seen for some time. Sunday was busy laundry day for me, while playing X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse. Those of you who are familiar with my comic-reading habits know that I find the AoA series to be one of the best X-Men projects ever made. This made my enjoyment of the game far greater than its already-awesome premise would make it ordinarily. In the evening, Justin came over, and, in lieu of the now-defunct Unexplained Mysteries, began Firefly. Seriously a good show whose only fault lay in that it was too damned good for its time and network. That, and it required a huge budget. Which brings us to today, where I am now sick as a dog. Perhaps I will be feeling well enough to go out later tonight, but for now I must seek sustenance in the form of chicken noodle soup and green tea.

Sick seems to be the trend, as I seem to have caught some nasty bug as well. Firefly is the best. I'm uber-excited for Serenity to come out on the 30th.

Little sad about Sarah's movie...thought she had more footage than that that I just hadn't seen. Guess not. We'll see what she's able to do with it by the time she submits it for Sundance. i.e., this week...

Yes, Serenity does indeed look quite awesome. I await its release with baited breath.

Brando, don't worry about it. I just thought that perhaps you were being too hard on yourself regarding what was being said of people. As to the whole "make words sound pretty," I thought that was the whole point of theatre. Or perhaps that's only true of the spoken word. At any rate, don't pay too much attention to my grammatical nit-picking. In RPG parlance, I possess a Critical Aura (90%).

Will,
A Critical Aura (90%)? Surely you jest. In any case, at about the time a person starts to use gaming parlance in normal speech, its time for more boozing. Look on the bright side... Jeggermister is cheaper than Robitussin and tastes way better
