Weekend, also, gratuitous use of new gormenghast icon.

Everybody loves a three-day weekend. Here are the highlights:

- Friday Night Supper Club. kittenpants and I met sxypaganmom and kcgreenman for pizza, following which, we had a huge discussion on philosophy, religion, and ministry. This led us out of the pizza parlor, down the street for ice cream, and then, when we'd out-talked the ice cream shop's open hours, off to McCoy's for a beer. Good times.

- Sobriety checks. Kansas City cops are infinitely nicer than Jacksonville cops. We pulled out of Westport on Friday night, and were shunted into a sobriety checkpoint. The cops there were friendly and pleasant, which was sort of a surprise, since my experience of checkpoints has been entirely one in which the cops were primarily there to pick a fight. "Have you been drinking?," they asked. "I had a beer," I replied. "Okay then, go on through. Have a nice night." Unbelievable.

- Half Price Books. $75 later, we have some very exciting titles. And a Wheel of Time d20 book, so that I can make a new character at home after my party leaves me to die by torture at the hands of the Children of the Light, because they're not sure rescuing me would be the right thing to do. It would, after all, be breaking the law.

- Ritual at Gaia. Did not suck, despite being spontaneously created. Also, any public generipagan ritual in which one can invoke Fotamecus as rite patron is fine by me.

- X-Men. Good, but hard to watch, the new one was. Made me cry in several bits. Too many of my formative experiences were all about comic books, I think. Can't talk about it without spoiling, so let's leave it at this, since this is the Most Important Question of the Day:

(no subject)

I just noticed that my weekly fish-and-chips constitutional takes me right in front of the police station. So it's like exercise and aversion therapy all in the same mile. If I could somehow manage to find a route that would also carry me past a maternity clothes shop and an exotic pet store specializing in centipedes, I think that would cover all my issues.

Anyway, as brought up by fionnabhar in the comments of my last post,
"So the second-most important question of the day is "What is your mutation?", followed closely by "What is your mutant nickname?", eh?" Feel free to comment about that, too, if you like. She has already spoken for invisibility and the name "Wraith".

EDIT: Aw, man. I thought I had a superhero icon, and I don't. Well, that probably goes on the to-do list, then.

For no reason whatsoever at all...

Quoth triadruid "Il est too un peep. I don't care what you say, it's a fucking peep." This is the part where I fall out of my chair.
