Well I've been trying to catch up on reading everything that is going on here... and everytime I think I'm getting close someone posts up a massive 'novel' 
Keep it up though.
Hopefully I'll catch up and maybe Davi will join in the fun again here soon.

Topic: Totally Random Thoughts
Subject: Curtains...
Closed curtains on tubs aren't that bad... although between Hitchcock, the Shining and What Lies Beneath they should...
However all white bathrooms make me very uncomfortable, because of the three above mentioned movies. I had to paint my main bathroom yellow soon after moving in due to this fear.
So don't worry Celeste you aren't alone

Topic: worst DM/GM blunders
Subject: Hmmm...
Well I've tried a few games over the years, usually as a player, but one as a DM (which did not work out very well). I'm not good at thinking on my feet and adjusting for the silly stunts players throw at you. Ohh... and a small word of advice, if you want to play an NPC with an accent... try and keep the accent steady the whole time or just give up and have them speak like you do. I had this little female Dwarf named Clementine that ran the local tavern... and she went from being Southern, to Cockney, to some strange accents no one recognized in the same sentence. Needless to say my players though Clementine was hilarious.
Another bit of advice I'd have is to say 'yes'. When a player comes up with a crazy idea let them try it. We've had DM's that simply put down a nutty idea the second it comes up instead of letting it play out. If the idea is REALLY nuts have it fail, maybe even an epic fail, but let it happen. For one those ideas often become the golden moments that making gaming fun. And if players feel that the DM is simply going to shut down all of their ideas they will stop putting effort into play and will simply go 'I swing my sword at that guy...' during combat and everyone looses interest.
That's all for now!

I still haven't gotten my little guy that onsie! He's still small enough though. Might have to be a Father's Day present this year
And yes I do have to agree with flirty... there should be some slinkier RDI stuff. Tank Tops perhaps? Or panties... ohhh... Chaotic Evil panties!? And Lawful Good panties... for all of our many different moods Bikini's or boy-cut-shorts please. I prefer it if my a** is covered at all times.

And got all caught up. Very fun Celeste.
The strangest things happen during D&D nights... I've never drawn comics, but I have played 'secretary' and typed up comments that are said around the table, and those can be very funny.
Glad you are sharing this with us! The bow one is my personal favorite so far... 'practice more'

Topic: Tales from the Smuggler's Moon
Subject: A small post while I wait for everyone to return
“He won’t hurt you or turn you over to those that would,” Asim continued as he turned and left, his voice came faintly from down the hallway, “even if you hurt him in the end.”
Davian set down the bit of bread and cheese she was about to eat, having suddenly lost her appetite.
Fools and good men were often hard to tell apart. It seemed the Captain might be more of the former than the latter. Which was a damned shame.
She went about cleaning up the little lunch that she had shared with Asim and then wandered back to the Captain’s quarters. The good feeling she had gotten talking to the rope runner had disappeared and left her with a feeling as grey as an impending storm. Nothing good would come of this trip… but she had little choice in the matter. Looking out the little window in his quarters that faced the Eastern bluffs of the city she knew that Freeport held only a fate worse than death.
*~*~*
Across town, in one of the veritable palaces on the Eastern bluffs, Vernon sat with a fine brandy warming in his hands and looked out West. The port was dotted with easily a few hundred ships. That was the real Freeport. The docks and the warehouses, the taverns, and shops that spilled out onto the land beyond them were simply support for the ships. If the harbor shut down this entire city would collapse.
Most of his own fortune was tied up somehow in those ships. Certainly he had some money squirreled away in ventures that were completely dry just in case a drought sapped the ocean into a dessert. But that was an unlikely future and one that he did not realistically plan for. No. Those ships were pure gold.
On most afternoons the mere sight of them could bring a small smile to his lips. Today though a tight scowl was etched into his face and would not leave. Seeing those ships only made it tighter. Somewhere down on those ships there might be a treasure worth more than gold.
Already the city scurried with the tiny cockroaches he had sent out to find her, but so far none had come back with even a crumb. They would though. Eventually they would drag her back to him as they always had. And she would pay… she would pay back every gold piece he had spent finding her with interest… she would pay with her screams and her tears. Only that thought brought the slightest smile to his eyes.
He swirled the brandy and thought about having her back as he watched the ships in the harbor. Never knowing that the whirlpool eyes he so desperately sought stared back at him from one of them.

Topic: AMC's The Walking Dead
Subject: Oh oh!
You know I've been keeping up with this as well. One day late each week... I get it on Monday (we rpg with friends on Sunday, even got a zombie inspired game going on ).
And yes I was completly shocked with the end of the episode.
Having read almost all of the graphic novels I have certain things that I expect to happen and I have really liked how the show is giving me enough of those things to make me not roll my eyes, but changing enough to keep me on my toes.
I just sat there for a bit after the show and stared at the TV blankely as I tried to mentally catch up.
Can't wait for February where I guess I'll get more zombies for my birthday!
OOhhh... and on the religious aspects, I recall there being quiet a bit of religious idea's being brought up in the 'novels'. And even when it was not blatently religious there was often debates about morality and such in this new world. In some of the more recent volumes they even get a priest in their group... who is a really interesting character. So I think the TV show has been true to that feeling. And I think it is an important thing to look into in a zombie world.

Topic: Zombie Movies
Subject: Zombie Movies
So I was recently discussing zombie movies with my friends and thought maybe this lovely group of people would also enjoy the topic.
Also I was hoping maybe someone here would help me remember the name of one I watched a year or so ago... I believe it took place in England, or maybe Canada. At any rate it was a city with rivers because at one point two of the main characters are on a boat. The basic plot was that there was a medical company doing experiments that went wrong and people started to 'go bad' all but one, a girl. The company sends their hitman out to get her and bring her back as she obviously has an immunity to whatever they were shooting people up in. She is a young woman whose brother is a cop and if I recall correctly so was her husband/boyfriend, but he recently got out of jail due to a shooting on the job that went badly... and she's just found out she's pregnant... they end up holed up in a mechanic's garage for awhile and take on some other people, and in the end they are trying to reach a police helicopter pad where she is supposed to met her brother and get out of the infected city...
Anyone know what I'm talking about here?
Oh... and 28 Days Later is probably my favorite brains movie
