I can't say I understand it, but it is the new thing
People think better in circles

Everyone is famous somewhere, right?

Magical power always trumps your fashion sense
I play many RPGs (that's Role Playing Games for the uninitiated) on the computer/xbox. These are games where you usually find yourself in a fantasy world where elves, magic, and bad Old English collide. I started playing a new one, Two Worlds, with Steven yesterday. From the little I played last night, it's a decent game with some bugs and lag issues. Since there's been a derth of RPGs that work over the inter-webs, Steven and I are not choosy about quality.
In these games, the goal is to create a character, and build him to be as powerful as possible. You do this but killing monsters for experience (which increases your level or power), and collecting magical items, such as armor, swords, and jewelry.
Many times you have to choose between two magical items: one is much more powerful but extremely ugly, and the other less powerful, but goes very well with the aesthetics of your character. (And here you thought video games never provided you real, meaningful choices!)
Because I'm a min-maxer, (i.e., someone who tries to create the most powerful character possible), I usually choose the ugly clothing or jewelry. Julie, when she plays, is very fashion conscious, and will choose the pretty furry brown boots over the uglier red and green polka-dotted shoes. Steven, who is the ultimate min-maxer tends to look like the Little Guy.
We're planning to play again on Thursday. I can't wait. Now, if only Julie shared my enthusiasm. While she usually joins us in this types of games (she particularly likes the pretty elves), because of technical limitations, only one of us can play with Steven at the same time.

It's out there
Doodle-wise, this was a very productive three-day weekend. I spent much time hunched over my fancy tablet drawing doodles, and finishing other doodles I started but forgot about. I'm still not ready to return to the three postings a week yet, but if I continue at my current pace, I could be there in another week or so. (By saying that, of course, I've now jinxed myself to another slow period.)
Even though the forecasts were dire, the weather held rather well over the weekend. I posted a few photos we had sitting around, and a few albums we took over the long weekend.
I attempted to write on Sunday morning. I'll spare you the gory details, as I ended up with half a page of consternations, most of which concerned the fact that my dogs were running around my legs as I attempted to write in our backyard. Yeah, it was exceptionally engaging.

I need to stand out
I drew this in homage to the hipster I keep seeing in the cafeteria. I appreciate strange fashion statements, whether they’re hipsters or goth or just plain artsy. I’m too much of a wimp to make a statement with my fashion. I go for he-knows-how-to-tie-his-shoes style.
We had snow today. My little Prius managed the two or so inches well. The cars spun out on the sides of the highways weren’t so lucky. Hopefully it’ll clear up. It does mean you’re in for a snowy Horrible tomorrow. So lucky!

It is all there
I never liked stripes. I particularly don't like the horizontal background stripes. But as the title says, it is all there. And while I have no idea what that means, I agree wholeheartedly with the sentiment. And who can dislike the striped glove?
The caffeine is starting to kick in and my juices are flowing. The sun is shining and while not warm yet, there is the taste of warmth in the air. That's good enough for me.

What is becoming of your sister?
It's warm outside. There is talk of rain. I don't believe it.
