Well, Here I Am

I return! It's six months later, and not much has really changed. Time marches on, as does entropy. We're that much closer to the eventual heat death of the universe, and I still haven't gotten my fucking copy of CthulhuTech. But such is life, and so it goes.

I have gotten a copy of the Sailor Moon RPG put out by Guardians of Order in 1998. For, like seven dollars. Why yes, I am a huge nerd. Was there ever any question? I was actually surprised at how well-assembled it was. I got it for a chuckle, but now I'm seriously considering running a game with it.

That, though, will have to come after the Serenity one-shot I'm going to run in the next couple of weeks, and the Exalted 2e one-shot I fully intend to run sometime after that. It's been way too long since I've had an Exalted fix--since I've had a tabletop roleplaying fix of any sort, really. But that'll be rectified soon.

During my absence I've done a ridiculous amount of writing (some of it good, some of it bad, some of it poetry). My most recent endeavor has been in league with a friend of mine, and it is a webcomic called Fancy That. There's a big friendly banner for it in this blog's sidebar now, if you'd like to take a look. It updates Monday/Wednesday/Friday, like Penny Arcade, which I love so very much. Unlike PA, though, Fancy That suffers from, to borrow a phrase coined by Jerry Holkins, dreaded continuity. I hope you'll enjoy it anyway.

I'm going to try to keep this blog updated on a fairly regular basis. There are no guarantees, though the possibility of there being a post any given day will probably go up sometime in May. Just because. I'm also going to try to keep this blog closer to its stated topics. I was rather lax about that in the past, but no longer. If it's not about writing, gaming, or geekery, it will not appear in these hallowed pages.

I'm sure you'll sleep better at night knowing that.

I'm going to run away to the lesbian circus!

Jerry Holkins Is A God

And today's Penny Arcade proves it. The funniest thing? I know exactly what they're talking about. In my younger days, I myself experienced a great deal of puzzlement over what precisely a vagina looked like. Sure, there were those line drawings in Sex Ed, but they basically rendered the female body with the featureless crotch of a Barbie doll. Like Tycho, I'm not going to go into details as to what shape my abstract pubescent theories gave vaginas, just know that it did indeed differ significantly from the real article (which I have since seen both by way of the internet and up close and personal-like).

Even as far back as kindergarten, boys give consideration to this mystery of the universe, as well as hypothesizing as to the uses of various other feminine anatomical features. I recall sitting in a circle with several other little boys one day as we all attempted to divine what strange and unique purpose breasts served.

The running theory was that they were how girls peed.

In the fifth grade, I knew someone who claimed to have seen a vagina. He told us wild tales about them, like some mad woodsman.
