I spent the arrival of the winter solstice in Colorado Springs watching 300 with RiffTrax. It's Mystery Science Theather 3000 without the silhouettes. Since they don't have to fuck around with getting rights to movies, they do big blockbuster movies rather than 1950's b-movies.
At work I received a $50 Walmart gift card which I used to buy a really keen mp3 player and it's much better than the vaunted ipod too.
It's really late and I'm going to write down a dream and head to bed.
Deeper in the Dungeons of Doom I stumbled across a room which was nearly surrounded by lava and tended by a white lowercase h which was a dwarven shopkeeper. Shopkeeper isn't right, he was a blacksmith who would combine items for a price and teach the player how to make special magic items.
He showed me the secret of the ring of animal friendship. Acquire several magic whistles. Magic whistles will instantly teleport pets on a single dungeon level to the player's location. Very useful for pacifist conduct or if someone gets saddled with a wimpy character class. The smithy melts these magic whistles down and forges a ring which has the mysterious properties mentioned in the first paragraph.
The End.
