Rifts and theDiscourser.
Saturday gaming rocked. I enjoy the Warden's style of GM'ing and all in attendance, Supergoober, Moose, the Acupuncturist and his partner, the Craftsman, Rave-boy, and NTT's Brain, had a great time. I love this game environment. The developers truly didn't discriminate when it comes to genre; it simply has something for everyone: Cyber-Punk meets Wild West meets Arduin meets Warhammer meets Post Holocaust meets Star Wars, and a few more thrown in for good measure.
My character is a self-righteous Cyber-Knight, think Jedi Knight ala Star Wars and you got it. I'm playing him like a Clan Sentinel; "We are at War against Tyranny, respect all sentient life, protect the innocent.." yadda, yadda, yadda. Not very complicated character really. To tell you the truth, I can't wait to do battle.
We hosted another guest Saturday night, this time, my wife's good friend. Sunday was yard work (the ongoing struggle to maintain a green lawn), football, bills, the Gym, and homemade mushroom/Parmesan Risotto (what a pain in the ass, the constant stirring, but jeez was it good) and stuffed Game hen....yummy.
Been reading theDiscourser's blog. Jeez, he needs to get paid more. Whats frustrating about that line of thinking though is that my mind automatically moves to identify those in our society that get paid loads of money to do JACK SHIT. As much as I believe that regulated capitalism with democratic oversight is the best way to go, I simply can't stand seeing morons like Paris Hilton make money to, in effect, shape our young people's minds...my goodness, she's actually one of our most famous role-models for young women...oh Lord help us.
Last week, Katie Couric talked about brave women throughout the world that get absolutely no pub and yet are involved in the most inspiring and important work....that it is THESE women that our young people should pay attention to, to aspire to become. She names several women...one of them is engaged in progressing women's rights in India, and another to bring justice to the thousands of Chileans who've disappeared under Pinochet's despotic reign. And this is a quote that ended her segment..."And yet, our young people pay more attention to troubled pop starlets who can't even sing."...Luv it.
