Def Poetry

I spent half an hour watching HBO's original show Def Poetry.  I highly recommend this easily assimilated bit of modern culture.

Many poets come to the stage offering recitations of their work.  Some are funny.  Some are serious.  Most are both and touch the soul as poetry should.

Serious Thinking

For Berta's birthday on Friday night we went out to this Southwestern fast food place called Desert Moon.  The food was slightly better than mediocre, but that could have been because we were expecting Mexican and got Southwest.

But I had this cup of iced currant black tea, and I haven't been able to think of much anything else since then.  It has been invading my thoughts every few minutes or so since Friday.  I've been trying to scheme ways to get out of the house just to go over to Exton to get another cup of that iced tea.  So I ordered about $35 of tea supplies from a web site yesterday morning that should allow me to make my own currant-flavored black tea.  I don't remember the last time I was so obsessed about something.

USA PATRIOT Act Version 2

The first PATRIOT Act (it's an acronym) was wrong.  This new version is even worse.  "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty or safety."  Ben Franklin

WISH 41: Coherence

This is from the Game Wish page:

How coherent do you expect a game world to be? Is a game world merely a stage for the characters, or does it have a life of its own? How deep does it need to be to satisfy you? How do you contribute as a player or GM to making the game world more coherent, if you do?
