I'm just wondering what GenCon US is like. It seems over here that this year Wizards are really giving it a big push, no doubt fuelled by all the interest in 4th edition. How big is it in America and do you play the same adventures. I've already signed up for my D&D slots this year, as well as fitting in a Cthulhu game. Hi,

"No son. That’s magic Easter juice." We also decided to set the building on fire at one point. Also the exchange with the kid went

“Who are you”

“I’m the easter bunny”

“Is that blood?”

I admit - some of the details are hazy at this point. I think he was, but I don’t remember him playing; maybe he fell asleep?

I feel for you. I really, <i>really</i> feel for you. I've been a "you whipper-snappers get off my lawn" style old coot since my early teens, and I'm well-versed in being driven nuts by inconsiderate neighbors of all stripes. I'd go bat-crap crazy having to share a wall, ceiling, or floor with people like that. Ugh. I feel for you. I really, really feel for you.

(oops, nevermind) by Alan De Smet http://randomdialogue.net/2008/06/09/guess-what-im-getting-for-christmas/#comment-304 Alan De Smet Mon, 09 Jun 2008 19:13:36 +0000 http://whoisdialogue.wordpress.com/?p=1001#comment-304 As best I can tell, all US cell carriers have good enough coverage, similar prices, and garbage customer service. As such, jumping to AT&T to get the phone I wanted was no big deal. Of course, my previous contract had expired; if you're under contract it becomes a much bigger deal. On the other, other hand, the better iPhone knockoffs should be coming soonish. I have no brand loyalty, and when my iPhone becomes an ex-iPhone I fully expect to jump to a knockoff. Especially if it will get me away from the festering heap that is iTunes. (It's weird to think that just a few years ago I held iTunes to be a new standard for quality.)

I'm not that much further along than I was last time we talked (maybe 10 chapters further or so). It's not that it's uninteresting---I just have a hard time wanting to pick it up and read more. I'm not gripped. Maybe I just don't care about the characters yet? I keep hoping it's going to grab me and make me want to keep going, but I might just switch over to the Chuck Palahniuk books I bought soon... :( I’m really having a hard time getting through it, honestly.

It doesn't matter if it is 300 words or 30,000 as long as you get something out of it. Personally, I can't imagine writing that much. I'm hard pressed to squeeze out 10,000 words in a week, but I'm not too concerned about how much I write. Write your passion, Eric :) As long as you enjoy writing it, that is what is important.
