Welcome back Hawaii/Florida/London people, hope everyone had a good break.
So: Dungeons and Dragons has gone digital. As of May 8, '08 D&D's fourth edition will be officially released, and the doom of modern RPGs will be complete. The Fourth edition of the classic fantasy romp will be focused less on realism and more on "fluid gaming" (i.e. dumbing down rules so casual gamers wont get confused). Said edition will also feature online content. That's right, now your very own Mac or PC will make your dungeons for you, build adventues from modular components, and even keep track of your character as you're playing. The subscription based website devoted to sucking the humanity out of your fantasy experience will even allow parties to play online. This development begs the question: why not just buy Oblivion and circumvent the human element altogether? (at least the graphics are bad enough in said online play that you feel like your playing an actual tabletop game so there's no competition to be had with World o' Warcraft).
Memo: If you, or anyone you know, has any manifestation of talent (be it musical aptitude, sword swallowing, whatever). run, don't walk, down to Mr. Swartz's room (unless you're at home, then you'll have to drive part of the way) and sign up for the Drama Club's second annual HHS Variety Show. We are in desperate need of acts to come perform so please, bust out the juggling pins and sign up. Audtions are Thursday, the 3rd. If you miss the deadline for any reason, talk to a drama club representative: chances are we'll let you perform anyway, we just need content! (p.s. Zach and I will probably need a drummer and/or bass player for our co-op piece, talk to me or comment here if you're intrested or know someone who is/might be). That's enough groveling for one day, so on to:
Question of the day: why do we invent machines that do our hard work for us, then spend all our time in health clubs building our muscles?
If you haven't already, check out a band called "Big Coffin Hunters" on iTunes. They are Vermonti college-metal with a killer single ("Going Out Like Hemingway")
Here's a true story:
Muhammad Ali was flying cross-country on a commercial airliner. Just before takeoff, a stewardess walked by Ali's seat and asked him to please fasten his seatbelt. Ali said,
"Superman don't need no seatbelt"
to which the stewardess replied
"Superman don't need no airplane either."

I met a real live zoroastrian person on the hawaii trip. For real.
you spelled Zoroastrianism wrong and it's driving me crazy.
looks right to me...
"zoroastrian"
"Zoroastrian"
copy/pasted both of them (minus Aleina's "ism")
:P
Unless it was edited or something...
no, no, no. In Jake's poll, not Katie's comment. His poll reads "Zoarastrianism".
My heartfelt apology: I Googled said word and picked the first spelling that came up. It was wrong, but I did not inhale.
