 |  My blog with multiple titles of a dubious nature. |

Questionable Practices of the Spare Chicken ... or ... Private Bits The Unnamed Blog My Own Private Island Drawbridge to My Mind Give Me an Eraser for This Thing Blog Which is so Confusing That a Name Really Could Not Fit, and If It Did, This Wouldn't Be It, So Just Scroll Down and Have a Read Anyway ... or, on the naughtier side ... Questionable Practices of My Private Bits ~~~~~~~~~~ I decided to use multiple titles, but if you would still like to vote on my blog title you still can. Here is the link. 
~~~~~~~~~~ Now, down to the focus of my blog. *ponders and wrinkles brow* There is none. I plan on talking about anything and everything that is wierd and happens to cross my mind at the time. Some moments may seem pretty sane, but they will quickly be interrupted by things much less normal, things that may make you cringe, clamp your jaw tight and make sure your belt buckle is still cinched. Anyway, on with the ... ramblings.  |
I wonder when shooting someone became an E-rated topic.  |
| I have one! Well, not the whole tooth, but the filling down inside. I had a root canal just a while ago and my mouth is currently very numb. Anyway, I guess they use a rubber compound for filling the root before putting a hard filling over. Next Monday, a couple fillings and a mold for getting a crown made. Oh, joy...  *thinks there needs to be a drool emoticon for dental visit days* |
What is this stuff all over everything? I think... *licks* Yup... That's what it is alright! It's dust. I think I need to keep this thing updated a little more often and maybe the dust would not accumulate. It's not even like I am short on things to write in here about. I think I will try and keep up with some of my writing projects I am working on in here also. That way anyone who actually reads this blog can pester me for an update. And if you feel like doing reviews let me know. I am sure I will have things that need reviews before attempting to publish them. The current writing project that I am aiming to get published is an adventure article for Dungeon Magazine, the magazine dedicated to players of Dungeons & Dragons. I am in that roleplaying kind of mood so am full of ideas for it right now, both adventures and articles on how to play. I guess that's how I will leave this post, but if you stop in regularly and I have not posted more, just give me a sharp poke to the ribs. |
| I have been playing with some roleplaying game demo software lately. It's the kind of software that will allow for a tabletop game like D&D to be played using the internet as a means of connection. They are programs that are supposed to simulate the tabletop feel while playing a traditional pencil and paper based roleplaying game. They are not games themselves, but tools to allow gamers to play thie fave offline, non-computer based games online. I have seen a couple nice ones but they also have a price tag for both the one running the game and the people joining to play the game. Those seem the more impressive tools, but they are also the ones I could not expect players to pay for. One package I did find had a different purchase scheme. It had the one hosting the game buy a copy and then he could let the players also buy the player portion or, and this is my fave part, the host could buy transferable licences so the players would not have to pay for software and the group could change as time goes by and some players leave the group and others join, without having to change the purchased licenses. Yeah, I know that was a mouth full, but what it really all means is that I wish I could find one like the first software I found with the licensing policy of the second package I found. I guess it is back to searching for me. |
| I got my books yesterday that I purchased from Amazon last week. It gave me the opportunity to use a gift certificate I received from an amazing w.com member in a Christmas gift exchange. The books I ordered were: Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick It's the book the movie Bladerunner was inspired from. Flights: Extreme Visions of Fantasy edited by Al Sarrantonio This one is an anthology of supposedly intense fantasy short stories by many fantasy greats. I guess they were told to pull out all the stops and toss all the taboos out the window. Player's Guide to Faerun a Dungeons and Dragons book for the Forgotten Realms campaign world. It's an update to the version 3.5 rules and has some helpful charts in it along with some unique items and such that have not been added until it. I also added, in shopping for the books I ultimately bought, way too many books to my wish list. *pauses* Nah... There is no such thing as way too many when it comes to books. Anyone up for an evening of Dungeons and Dragons? |
I love that sound effect! I watched Star Wars Episode III over the weekend and heard that lovely Darth Vader helmet install and removal sound and just cracked up right there on the spot. You know the sound. It's the same sound you get when you open a jar of some vacuum packed food type product. Pthoomp! |
| I am reading Time Enough for Love by Robert A. Heinlein right now. I bought it over the weekend since I kind of needed a break from traditional fantasy stories. It is shaping up to be an interesting ride so far, though I am only a couple chapters in. The last Heinlein book I read was Friday which I really enjoyed though it was long enough ago I can't remember it too well. I may have to read it again. If anyone has any other book suggestions for me, please post a comment with them. They can be more Heinlein books or they can be anything else you though was entertaining in any genre. I read books from nearly all genres I can get my hands on. |
| The thing I just don't understand is a person who signs up for a web site they were recently banned from just to cause havoc. It makes no sense at all. Sure, I can see how someone would be upset for being removed from a web site, but why would they want to sign up again, cause havoc and look like so much more of an ass than they did the first time they were on the site. I just don't get it. But then, I don't think I would even consider doing such a thing myself. |
| I got to thinking about something Sunday. While at church I saw a couple I know up in front doing some of the music for the service and I got to thinking about their relationship. It is, in my opinion, a slightly odd one. Well, maybe not that odd but more... stagnant. They met before she graduated high school. That was in 1996 from what I know of them. She has nudged him to get married and his response is that if she would stop nudging he would ask her. Then they end up upset with one another for a few days and finally back to speaking until something gives her the urge to nudge again. They are currently still a couple and still not married. As far as it looks from the outside of the relationship, it looks that he is happy with it the way it is. It gives the impression that when she gets on his nerves he can still send her him to her parents' house. That started my thinking up about relationships in general. I don't ever want to leave a relationship go stagnant like that. A relationship should always be in the process of getting better and drawing the partners together. I would even go so far as to say that, even in a married partnership, the couple still has work to do in making the relationship better and that marriage is not a goal but just one step in how a relationship can change. I am not saying that marriage is a requirement in a relationship. I am just saying that a relationship is something that has to keep growing. Life is too short for anyone not to make the best of it and growing closer with a partner is certainly making the best of life. |
