Dear Penthouse, I calculated the odds of the letters that people write you being true, constructing a formula based on ratio of repeated incidents, and comparitive studies on similarities of writing styles, and divided it by a whole number rounded up, calculated from an overall probabilty factor based on plausibility and came to the conclusion that the letters written in your forum were specious at best, and certainly would never happen to me. But something happened recently that made me call some of my conclusions into question and I just HAD to write to you about it. I was settling in for an evening of sorting and categorizing my Magic Cards, first by category, then by color, power level, and rarity when my doorbell rang. Well, I nearly dropped my 2 litre Mountain Dew (which to be fair was quite heavy and I was just recovering from a nasty bout of carpal tunnel syndrome)when I opened the door and saw my extraordinarily attractive neighbor, Janet standing there. Her big brown eyes gazing at me from behind those horn rimmed glasses. Her red flowing locks very much reminiscent of Allyson Hannigan, Felicia Day, Gillian Anderson , Kerry from Mythbusters and of course Mary Jane Watson. Her attractive mammmary area was swelling and straining against a vintage “Battlestar Galactica” T-shirt, and my eyes scanned her like a retina i.d laser, concluding that she did indeed have security clearance. “Hello Arthur” she purred, “I have a little problem I was hoping you could help me with” “What’s wrong?” I aked, longing to see her in some sort of metal bikini, or dressed like one of the many hot girls in Soulcalibur. “Well, I’m playing Dungeons and Dragons for the first time tommorow, and I need help rolling up a character.” she said. “..will you help me?” I invited her in and eagerly began working on her character sheet. I knew it was going to happen right there, right in that room…that would be where the magic (user) happened. I moaned softly as she reached over and gently carressed my dice bag running her fingers along the faux velvet surface. “Oh Arthur” she gasped “Make me an elf”! As I slowly parted the Players handbook, I reached down and pulled out my athsma puffer. Tasting the sweet musky acridness of ventilin emboldened me and I ran my finger down her stats. “Your charisma is very high” I whispered “Arthur” she moaned “Remember it’s my first time…so be gentle…and don’t baffle me with a bunch of bullshit 4.0 rule changes” Each roll of the dice was sweeter than the next. the sound of four six sided dice banging together, picking up speed and intensity until they succumbed to the kinetic energy and tumbled out on the table filling her character with dexterity. “Choose my feats!” she screamed “Oh God Choose them now!!!” As I read out her key racial feats, she touched my arm and in a husky voice said ” Although I wasn’t completely satisfied with the ending, on the whole the new Battlestar Galactica was excellent, with great characters, and compelling storylines. Plus I would totally have a lesbian threesome with Tricia Helfer and Grace Park” It couldn’t contain it anymore. My nervous twitch kicked in and I squeezed the big gulp cup hard. My Mountain dew shot all over her. “Oh God!! “I yelled” Oh God I’m so sorry, Oh I’ll pay to have that dry cleaned, Oh God!” Needless to say, I did pay for her dry cleaning! Which in this case is the literal truth and not some sort of euphemism. But every Sunday she still comes over for a little “Role Playing”. (Also not a euphemism) Sincerely, Arthur Pewtie PS If you are a girl and got the reference from my psuedonym, I would also be very interested in exploring your MMO |

Yeah, I've decided to try NaNoWriMo this year. Any encouragement or assistance in keeping up my word count would be appreciated.

If you've been looking around for costume supplies and need liquid latex you may have discovered, as I did, that all the normal suppliers are currently out. However, thanks to my sister, I have found the Hustler Hollywood over by exit 110 still has a large supply in various colors, even more than is usually carried by Halloween Express or Party City. They also carry several kits that come with an array of colors, brushes and the "Glymmer Powder" that will add sheen and sparkle, if you need that kind of thing. |

(A woman who had gone through my line earlier that day came up to me.) Customer: “Give me back my g****** keys!” Me: “Excuse me?” Customer: “My car keys! Give them back!” Me: “I wasn’t aware that I had them. Ma’am, are your keys lost? I can get someone to help you find them if you want.” Customer: “No! I know it was you who took them! I put them up on this little tray– *points to the tray next to the debit machine* “–and when I got home I couldn’t find them anywhere!” Me: “When…when you got home? Ma’am, did you drive home?” Customer: “Well, duh! What kind of idiot are you? Do you think I’m poor?” *gives a disgusted look* Me: “No…how did you get back here, ma’am?” Customer: “I drove here, of course!” Me: “With your car keys?” Customer: “Yes! Now give them back!” Me: “Ma’am…if I had taken your car keys, would you have been able to drive home and back here?” Customer: “No! But I know you took them!” (I then notice the keys shining in her hand.) Me:: “Open your hand please, ma’am?” Customer: *upon seeing her keys in her hand* “Oh, you little witch! What did you do, ‘magic’ them back into my hand?! What kind of store lets witches work for them?!” Me: “Ma’am, I’m not a witch…but you are a complete stereotypical blonde.” Customer: “Oh, how dare you! I demand to speak to your manager.” (My manager, who is a Wiccan and has been listening to this exchange for the past few minutes, comes up behind me, playing with her five-pointed star necklace.) Manager: *in a mystical voice* “Well, hello there, earth-walker. What can I do for you?” Customer: *sputters curse words and quickly storms out*

In case you were wondering why you got this email, it is because your address was in my address book for some reason and I did a mass BCC of all address in my address book, so I didn’t share your email address with anyone. If this doesn’t interest you, just delete it, there will be no consequences, this isn’t a chain letter. I’m writing because this just ticks me off so much. Do you know who Jamie Leigh Jones is? And what happened to her? She is an American citizen who was working for an American company in Iraq. Some of her co-workers gang raped her and then he company confined her in a shipping container with armed guards to keep her quiet. If you want details you can read the entry in Wikipedia or on ABC news. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamie_Leigh_Jones http://i.abcnews.com/Blotter/story?id=3977702&page=1 Senator Franken has proposed a bill that will prevent companies that have the waivers of personal rights that have protected her employer as they protect the men who assaulted her since 2005 from being awarded Defense contracts. This doesn’t actually impinge on their right to have practices that make them total jerks, only says they won’t receive contracts to get tax money (our tax money) if they do. No brainer, right? But a number of representatives didn’t think so, among them both KY senators. I’ve already went to their contact pages and told them what I think of their decision. If you want to as well the links follow: http://mcconnell.senate.gov/contact_form.cfm http://bunning.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=Contact.ContactForm In case you were wondering what I wrote to them, or want to copy it, what I entered into their email form follows: If the senator continues to vote against protecting U.S. citizens working for U.S. companies with the same rights they would have if they worked here in the states I will not only never vote for the Senator again, I will make it my personal mission to make sure everyone I know, everyone I ever meet and can reach through the internet will never vote for the senator again for any office. You may find this message harsh, but it is very restrained as I cannot adequately express my outrage when learning of the actions of my representatives in Congress. I can't help but wonder if their actions would be the same if Jamie Leigh Jones were related to them. All of the senators that voted against: Alexander, TN Barrasso, WY Bond, MO Brownback, KS Bunning, KY Burr, NC Chambliss, GA Coburn, OK Cochran, MS Corker, TN Cornyn, TX Crapo, ID DeMint, SC Ensign, NV Enzi, WY Graham, SC Gregg, NH Inhofe, OK Isakson, GA Johanns, NE Kyl, AZ McCain, AZ McConnell, KY Risch, ID Roberts, KS Sessions, AL Shelby, AL Thune, SD Viter, LA Wicker, MI

My Grandma Yvonne died tonight. She was 83. She was far an away one of the best people I have ever known and the world is a sadder and darker place without her. I will miss her care and concern, her yearly painted christmas cookies, her sewing and her stories. Most of all I will miss her unconditional and immediate acceptance of anything and everything I did through the years, regardless of how strange or off-putting it was to her. She was the first adult in my family to accept my wife completely, and was one of the most generous souls I have ever had the pleasure to meet.

Queenie has developed a habit of, regardless to how late I put her out in the evening, getting up and wanting to go out somewhere between 4 and 6 am. Usually closer to 4. How does she indicate her desire to go outside? By barking. In case you don't know Queenie is a mix Black & Tan and Tennessee walker coon hound. She thusly has a very authoritative bark. Somehow, I am the only person in my family who cannot sleep through Queenie barking. This means that my evening/morning routine for the last several weeks has been following this rough schedule.
11 pm - Midnight: Put the dogs out one last time, pen them and go to bed.
3:45 - 4:45 am: Queenie starts barking
3:50 - 4:50 am: I get up and put the dogs outside and go back to bed.
5:30 - 6:30 am: Queenie starts barking to come back in and/or the alarm goes off to get up for work.
As you can see, I'm only getting 3-4 hours of sleep at a stretch. My physiology requires a minimum 4.5 hours of sleep at a stretch of real rest. This means that I have not really been sleeping except on the weekends for the last several weeks. The only heavy sleep I get on the weekends is after I get up and put them out and then can pass out until 8:30 or 10. Once Queenie is outside I can usually sleep through her noise, but I have a constant nagging fear that she is keeping our neighbors up. Now none of our neighbors have said anything, but most of them are very polite and try to keep to themselves.
Is this something I should really stress about? Is there a way to get Queenie on a more useful schedule? Would smacking her in the head with a ball peen hammer when she barks in the morning work?

Johnny and Marissa
sitting in a tree
K-I-S-S-I-N-G
First comes love
Then comes marriage
Then come an abrupt, tragic miscarriage
Then comes blame,
Then comes despair,
Two hearts damaged beyond repair.
Johnny leave Marissa, and takes the tree,
D-I-V-O-R-C-E
I am sure that think this is hilarious makes me a bad person, but I don't care. It is funny. Especially the expressions on the characters faces.

Was reviewing things over the last couple weeks and realized that this summer, July especially, has probably been the worst time I've had in years, if not ever. See the list below:
( The list )
Some things are going ok though. I had an interview a couple weeks ago that went well, although I haven't heard anything back yet. And the insurance has agreed to pay for the pressure sensors in my tires to get fixed even though there is some question of if they could have actually been damaged in the wreck. And I got my car back today.
I keep feeling that if I could get some real sleep I would be doing better, but I don't know when that is going to happen. Sherry's sister heads home on Sunday and my freelance project is supposed to be done by Monday. maybe I can get some rest after that.

Was just notified today that I will have to start working four hours per saturday once every five weeks. While I realize that other people have it far worse than I in regards to work schedules, these are not the terms I was hired under. If there was some kind of increased compensation, I wouldn't object, but being salary I don't even get that. Suck suck suck. Stupid at will work state

Just went through and tagged, reread every post I've made in the last 5 years that I've had this journal. Some interesting stuff in there. Also put all the parts of the Nick Gallus story together and found out it is far and away the longest story I've written in ages. I may have to pick that one back up. Feel free to follow the tag back if you want to take a look at it. I'll have to do a little bit o' tweakin to pull it further from it's source material though.

I survived New York/New jersey. Hooray for me.
Walked all over asbury Park in NJ. Walked along the breakwaters on the shore. Ate lots of good food.
While in NYC we went to Liberty Island and walked around the Statue. Went to Central Park and rode a carriage. Went to Empire State building and wasted money. Went to china town, and found the best chinese food in the world (Wo Hop at 17 Mott. Try the Wu Shu Duck, totally worth the wait). Shopped a lot. Missed getting into FAO Schwartz by 30 minutes. Helped other tourists figure out the subways. Also tried a great little place on fifth in Brooklyn called Playa, and an Australian place called the Sheep Station on 4th that was just a little down from our hotel.
I've been feeling intermittantly dizzy since Saturday. don't know what is up with that.
