…from the August 1898 issue
Stuff…We Got Stuff
1: Not trying to sound whiny here, but fuck this freezing cold!
2: Since I can use some extra money for everything from gardening to this years GenCon trip, I’m gonna start on a “writing for money” project. Maybe two…I haven’t decided yet.
3: Hmmm…my birthday is about a week and a half away and DunDraCon is about a month away. Not sure what I’ll do on my birthday, altho Mexican food is on the menu. As for DunDraCon…well, it is pretty much the same megafun experience every year. This year, my 17th? 18th? annual TOON game should be pretty funny in a screwball comedy sense. Naturally, all y’all who might be at the con are invited to stop by the game and watch or play.
4: Speaking of my birthday, I’m trying do decide if I want my usual chocolate cake or a cheesecake. In early polling, cheesecake is getting the nomination.
5: I’ve been playing Civilization 3 lately and yes, it is indeed as addictive as previous Civ games. Yes, I know Civ 4 is out, but Civ 4 is not $9.99 at Target.
6: It is harder to love your sweet dogs when they (well, Winker) are afflicted with Deadly Doggy Flatulence. Must remember to give them the Greenies chew treats as I leave for work in the morning, not the night before.
7: There is no #7. I’m off to eat my brekky.

re: 1. Pussy! Move to a real state before you complain about the cold! We’re within a few degrees of what you’re at and I’m thinking “heatwave!”
I have much love for all the Civ games. They have been one of my favorite ways to waste time for years now.
