workers of the world, unite!
form a big ball and roll around!
about half of you, face outward so you can bite whatever you roll over!
Yesterday was 21 years married and we celebrated in the expected manner: walked around our neighborhood and found every restaurant already full to the gills with Mothers Day diners, got take-out sushi instead and watched an Indonesian ghost-revenge horror movie.
Year 1 - paper
Year 2 - cotton
Year 3 - leather
Year 4 - fruit & flowers
Year 5 - wood

Year 21 - sushi and Indonesian ghost
LOST DOG* poster, asterisk says "spiritually lost"
Dog catcher wearing a priest's collar, cornering the dog with a Eucharist extended. "Easy boy."
Heaven's full of bones. Hell's full of bones. How can any dog choose?
only 80s kids remember being lured out of town by the piper's melodies because our parents wouldn't pay for ratcatching and we turned out fine

imagine having "has wings" as your superpower
your buddy can blast holes in concrete and you get to sleep on your stomach
demons land on Earth and you have to be, like, "I hope they don't like it if someone flies around them"
Asking the hostage negotiator "What'cha thinking?" and "Are you mad at me?" before insisting they hang up first.
Learning truly awful stuff about carnival beverage history.
[from SECRETS OF THE SIDESHOWS by Joe Nickell]
Somehow I'm supposed to put in a work day, then go out and be social tonight, even though I could be watching the infamous ninja movie that features a ninja leader taking a call on a Garfield phone.
Used to feel pretty plugged in about politics, but I've got to vote for governor soon and my strongest opinions are:
• not the guy who texted me all the time asking for $5
• I don't trust the rich
We'll see which dot gets filled in, I guess.
Want to feel sad?
You never know which invitation to go rob a tomb will be your last one. You'll just look around at your life and say "boy, it sure has been awhile, hasn't it, since I've had grave dirt under my fingernails and the tomb guardians' curses upon my bones."
Enjoy it while you can!

HONK!
get outta here, ghost!
HONK!
get outta this house!
HONK!
Put my RPG project down for a few months and I guess the batteries have refilled, because I just jotted down six ideas for Sideshows (an Unscene-like component of my Carved from Brindlewood game, Step Right Up, set in a traveling carnival in 1930s Dust Bowl Oklahoma.)
Only a few days left on this collection of Trophy Dark and Trophy Gold incursions I'm contributing to.
The pitch is: they're designed for one-shots. Want to dip your toes into the game, or bring it to a con?
All scenarios are reduced to 3 rings (Dark) or 3 sets (Gold).
