The Shadows on My Wall Don't Sleep

Apparently there is a kickstarter for a new steampunk RPG called Tephra. I found this out due to some freelance reporter not bothering to check that the account they were linking in their tweet actually belonged to the RPG.

I've been using the name Tephra online since.... hmm, I think 1996. It might have been '95 but I'm quite sure it was before '97.

Anyway, reading about the RPG is surreal since they just call it Tephra in their ad copy.

My standing in the Google search results for "tephra" have been falling for about a decade since I stopped doing my Paint Shop Pro tutorials and such. Maybe this will push me off the first page, that might be fun for change. XD

Found via metaquotes:

Between this toy (brought to my attention by morganalilith) and this song I'm in a snarky political mood.

The toy gives me sadistic pleasure.

The most relevant portion of my current music (lack of capitalization due to source):

cuz take away our playstations
and we are a third world nation
under the thumb of some blue blood royal son
who stole the oval office and that phony election
i mean
it don't take a weatherman
to look around and see the weather
jeb said he'd deliver florida, folks
and boy did he ever

and we hold these truths to be self evident:
#1 george w. bush is not president
#2 america is not a true democracy
#3 the media is not fooling me

The difference according to tokagemusume via Metaquotes.

[Edit to add: The original post that spawned the Meta.]

While I'm waiting for the dryer to stop, a metaquote that is actually funny. Though it is possible that knowledge of the recent wank in the Harry Potter fandom regarding Harry/Hermione is required to get the funny.

Random quote that I'm not going to link or attribute because it has the potential for kindling a flamewar:

"However, to me, 'patronizing' suggests that I assume that I am superior for thinking something. I don't think I'm superior -- I just think I'm right."

I'm so glad I was drinking water and not a Coke.

Many thanks to blacktigr for the random attacks of the giggles today.

I'm not going to thumbnail this one. It's just too... weird? Embarrassing?

Though I am sort of happy with the basic anatomy....

Anyway, blame this post/thread in joisbishmyoga's LJ.

Snagged from imayb1's journal:

Jimi Hooker gives us the final word on nutrition and health:

The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the Bristish or Americans. The French eat a lot of fat and also suffer fewer heaart attacks than the Brits or Americans. The Japanes drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than the Brist or Yanks. The Italians drink huge amounts of red wine and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the above. The Germans drink a lot of beer and suffer fewer heart attacks than, etc., etc.

CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like-- speaking English is what kills you.
