thebitterguySo. Snra & I went to see Bubba Ho-Tep last night w/ a group of folks. Enjoyable evening.
Dinner was at a non-italian restaurant on College. Sure, this may not SOUND impressive, until you take a look at the local listing.
On the way there, I'd been feeling rather tired, so Snra. suggested we not make the film and just have a quiet dinner together and watch a film at home. I, naturally, suggested Rancho Relaxo (have I mentioned I love their lime soup?), but she said she was disinterested in eating Mexican.
So what did we have for dinner? Fajitas.
Beforehand I went over to Dragon Lady comics (famous for having a DTL chastising staff if they couldn't identify the source of the store's name) to see if I could get any vintage SHIELD for my ongoing process of getting into the headspace to runa Spycraft game.
Man. As a storyteller, Steranko is a fabulous artist. The tales themselves... Not so good. Visually awesome, though. It was the reprints from the early 80s on Baxter paper. I'll still try and snag some of the SHIELD TPBs.
The film? Interesting. Bruce Campbell has almost enough depth and breadth to do Elvis, but when trying to swim in the oceans of hte King's charisma, he's way over his head.
That, and the film couldn't seem to make up its mind wether it was a wacky adventure tale (Elvis & JFK vs The Hillbilly Mummy!) or a moving reflection on the aging process. Which caused it to suffer.
Today was mostly quiet. Snra did her schoolwork and I went to SL at Steve's. The game got delayed on account of two of the players had their parents over (brothers, so it was just one pair of parents) and the fourth was late.
Fun was had, distracted only by how little we were concenrating on the game. We had a final conflict that consisted of a dozen emaciated rats ("That's fancy speak for hungry & pissed off").
My thief ("Mohareb, Prince of Thieves, Thief of Hearts") did get xp for surviving two traps. Not detecting or defusing, mind you.

B - Band listening to right now: The Blues Brothers
C - Career in future: Writer, God willing
D - Dad's name: Adel
E - Easiest person to talk to: My wife, primarily. My mom and dad. Occasionally [Bad username or site: ”Mr_weasel” @ livejournal.com], but he’s had his own crosses to bear for a while. Badass for a good, objective yet sympathetic pov. No one else, really.
F - Favorite song at the moment: Barret’s Privateers.
G - Gummy Bears or Gummy Worms: Bears. More texture.
H - Hometown: Napanee, Ontario. Home of… nothing, actually. Wait, no. Avril Lavigne.
I - Instruments: I will skip any particularly obvious jokes about my organ and skip directly to The Keyboard.
J - Job title: Customer Service Rep, whipping boy.
K - Kids: Sure. Got any spares?
L - Longest car ride ever: A ride to Myrtle Beach, probably. Or possibly Halifax. Indy for GenCon was probably the longest in terms of sheer actual on the road time.
M - Mum's name: Ayten
N - Number of siblings: 2
O - Oldest sibling: My younger brother is the oldest of MY siblings, although I’m the oldest of the three.
P - Phobia[s]: Dog sized rats jumping out of the darkness. I’ve been waking up to that image since I was a kid. And THAT is why you shouldn’t wake me.

R - Reason to smile: Cause I’m SO damn funny.

U - Unknown fact about me: I own a sombrero I bought from Value Village for $3.50 on a lark when I was on a kilt shopping trip. People honked at me as I walked down the side of the road wearing it. The kilt, which was a Larp prop, didn’t fit. I played Mel Gibson as Braveheart.
V - Vegetable you hate: I don’t, really. I even like Eggplant now. Avacados have a odd texture uncut, but as guacamole they rock.
W - Worst habit: Believing that the best defense is a good offense.
X - X-rays you've had: Teeth, skull, a lot of my body after the accident
Y - Yummy food: A good stew/chili/curry. A melange of flavours makes me allllll happy.
