Christmas shopping is pretty much done, just need to do gift wrapping and unfortunately I'm not a girl.

poker fallout

Oh jeez, everyone thinks I hate the guy I mentioned in yesterday's post. I don't. Jaybird says the guy just looks at people and doesn't realize other people notice. I'm ambivalent, cordial and potentially friendly. Golly gee. I'm not trying to cause drama, just sayin' what's on my mind. Just so happens that I have a website where i can post this shit.

Now I'm disappointed in myself for not understanding this kind of stuff would be stirred up anyway considering past experiences.

A FRIENDLY REMINDER, A MUSING

Why did Man fall after temptation in Eden? Why not a horse? Why not a cat? Since cats are primarily carnivorous then the cat would have to have eaten the flesh of the Mouse of Knowledge.

Was Man's choice an expression of free will? Does free will exist without knowledge? Since it is unknown if any other beasts were tempted and refused because they would abide by God's word then why are beasts considered to be soulless per scripture?

Did Man acquire a soul with his choice? Does knowledge or Knowledge represent the foundation of what embodies a soul? Is knowledge inherently evil considering the fact that Man went against God's word and ate the fruit? Man was tempted and succumbed but Man was not coerced by Satan.

Was the fall of Man part of God's plan? If so, to what purpose? If it was part of God's plan for Man to fall from grace then God can not be truly good. In fact, God would be no better than some kid who built something out of LEGO and then smashed it or someone who developed a city in SimCity then decided to go on a disaster spree.

stuff for games

On Sunday afternoon, Jaybird and I went out to a local hobby and gaming store on Academy near Platte. Boy oh boy this place is pretty neat. They have lots of models, basic RPG stuff geared towards miniatures play like WH40K. Next time raddidge is in the neighborhood I need to remember to take her there just to browse and maybe pick up something nice for her.

I was in luck! First they had neodymium magnets which were on the list of items for Secret Santa at work. Christ, I'm going to be annoyed if they shitcan me after the New Year when I played the stupid game of Secret Santa. Shit I'm even getting something for one of the kids randomly picked out of a hat. Plus the store had the right kind of hex mat so I can run battles without confusion for Asbury Park by Night. Afterwards I picked up some wet erase markers to draw on the hex mat.

On the way back I realized that I could just get a cheapo, plastic chess set and use those for random thugs, enemies and such but I do want to get one to represent Vlad, the protégé of Cardinal Grigori (deceased).

Jaybird's going to use a little plastic gnome, maribou's going to use the vampire smurf I got her from Cape May, NJ but I don't know what elmgrows will use to represent Janni. One happy discovery is that elmgrows has a metric fuckton of Matchbox cars.

In Yer Dreams

I was inside a building that was just a big corridor. One part of the corridor was larger than the rest and was used as a communal space. While resting, I was told to compare how black I was compared to one of their friends. The friend ended up looking like an eight foot tall David Bowie from Labyrinth. His outfit was so broad and loose that when he raised his arms, it looked like he had patagia.
