Another Crazy-busy day and night... I guess it promotes solid sleep though. I wonder if it will continue to be this busy throughout the winter holidays?

sweetalyssm's journal, pet names for the kitty -
I'm going to have to get on the stick, and place my Amazon orders soon, if I want them to get to the destinations by Christmas. I'm fortunate that I can get a good amount of my shopping done without leaving the house... a pity that Danny doesn't have a wish list, but I usually buy him local events rather than ranged gifts.
Gold Rush Games sent me a pre-release version of The Dragon's Gate: San Angelo's Chinatown sourcebook, on the condition that I review it (and mention that it is in fact a pre-release version, that I don't distribute the file anywhere else.. standard legalisms.) More about San Angelo is at sacoh.com. It's 128 pages, so it'll take a day to digest, and another two to sniff out the pros and cons, I think.
Speaking of which, I picked up the pdf of Darwin's World 2.0 for d20, and it looks like a lot of fun. (and it's far better edited, readable and generally of use than the current Gamma World sounds) I wonder what a post-apocalyptic Chinatown would have as a blend of the two? I think the classic mix of Golden age or an old west game would be a lot more suitable.
Wrigley's "Grapermelon" gum sounds nasty...and 7-11 supposedly has a slurpee of the same flavor. "Limafootstankbeans" seems as palatable.
Hmm... where is that Egyptian Special Dec 7? The closest thing I can find is Nubia: The Forgotten Kingdom (Which looks cool, but is on Wednesday, the 10th.) I imagine I can wait, but don't want to miss if there's something else nifty coming up too.

In accordance with Megan's Law and The Jacob Wetterling Act, all 50 states are required to register sex offenders and perform community notification. Many states have browseable, alphabetical lists, with their names, pictures, addresses, and crimes.
This Antique Christmas Lights site has old lights indexed by decades.
Like a digital clock, the digital sundial displays the current time using digits. In the true tradition of all sundials, the device is purely passive - it operates without electricity, and has no moving parts. Instead, the sunlight is cast through two cleverly designed masks in the shape of numbers that show the current time of day.
Animal Vegetable Video outfitting animals & plants with helmet-mounted video cameras worldwide Slow, but nifty site.
I like the Hilton sisters. Not the ones in current events... the Siamese twins.
