It's not just stuff on the site. I need time to recover which I will, I'm pretty resilient about stuff like this but just bear with me while I work through it.

The top brass at Spellcrafters Inc. have it in for the Spells R Us wizard. They've brought in hired muscle from overseas to do their dirty work- a powerful magical mercenary named Necromancer Sato. Can Wizzie survive their deadly scheme? And will our "somewhat ridiculous heroine" Wendy manage to avoid getting caught in the crossfire? This is a wicked little story about an extremely nasty bunch of people. In the words of William Burroughs, "Hold back the edges of your gowns, Ladies. We are entering Hell..."

Stephanie’s Deal

by Jennifer Brock

Steven peeked at his Christmas presents, so his family decided that his punishment should be to live as a girl until he had to go back to school. Stephanie has a date in four days, but before that she’s going to spend a day with her mom, try to stop a fight, and enjoy some retail therapy.

Sad news for all the gamers here. Gary Gygax, co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons, has passed away at age 69. Despite his declining health, Gary was still hosting weekly games at his home as recently as January. He touched a lot of lives through his creation, and he will be missed.

I don't even know anymore. I guess I'm a chronic alcoholic because last night I woke up about 1:30 in the morning not even remembering I had drank a single drink. I woke up looking at the clock and going "oh god... if I don't set my alarm I'm going to be late for work." And so I woe and set my alarm and set out all my clothes and all that and then, well... I had weird dreams.

Taoist Funeral

Author: 

Last week I participated in a funeral in the Taoist tradition in Hong Kong. While funerals are not most peoples' preferred activity the older you get the more of them you witness.

The Chinese experience is so different I thought I'd share it. Firstly, Taoism is the traditional religion of China with multiple gods and "saints". The terms don't translate exactly, so I'll approximate.

I wonder

I ran across this article today while web surfing. In short it is about a Chinese girl Xu Jiao playing the part of a boy in a Stephen Chow film called CJ7. I can't help but wonder if there would've been more attention if it had been a boy playing a girl's part. After all what's the difference? :)

Director Hobbs walked up the trail towards them. “Rachel, I’m going to borrow Ms. Martinez for a few minutes."
“Uh….. Okay.” Rachel looked from the Director to Erika and back. “I’ll save you some food.”
“Could you come with me please, Ms. Martinez.” Director Hobbs asked. She led Erika down the path and around the mess to the infirmary
“What’s this about?” Erika was starting to get nervous.
“I just need to have the nurse give you a quick check up….. It shouldn’t be much or take long.”

Becca Closed her eyes, she was so happy. She never saw the fist coming.

Oscar v Stephanie

I have a question for my readers (all four of them).

My installments in both Oscar Night and Stephanie's Deal were late this week. I have no buffer left on either story and I'm not sure if I can get back on schedule next week. So if I have to drop one of them to less than weekly (like every ten days instead of every seven), which one would you rather not have to wait as long for?

One of our worthy hereditary peers of the realm has launched an attack on nurses in the National Health Service, and went on to criticise staff in dispensaries for taking too much time to dispense drugs (he compared it unfavourable to the service he gets in his grocers, saying dispensing was a simple job).

Amazon's 'Your Store' can be a bit of a pain - if it's not the scrolling through, ticking 'own that' and 'not interested' boxes, it's the liability to spend, spend, spend. Once in a while however, it turns up something that suits you down to the ground.

How did I know?

When did I know? That is a tough question. During my pre-school to the third grade I was believed to be mentally retarded. To say I was aware I was different is to make a huge understatement. Those years in school wasn't pleasant at all and whatever other problems was lost surviving in the middle of desegregation during the late sixties here in the South.
