"I love you like a hamburger."






This is the amazing gift The Beautiful Wendy gave me for Christmas. You can tell it's a real Capote because it stands up on its own. The thing weighs about forty pounds.Isn't she hot? She takes a good picture, right?

I'm totally going to kick ass at this years Capea since I'll have time to practice some passes and get a feel for where to choke up on it. I'm very excited.

I got Wendy a ring. Did you know emeralds are more expensive than diamonds? At least that's the way it seemed with the shopping I did. The prices on the emerald rings were out of my league. I started out wanting to get her a ring of her favorite color, a sort of red/purple and then stumbled on a beautiful emerald ring that reminded me her eyes were green. And it was in my price range!

Been trying to get back to this for days but not time. No time today either.

Maybe you can guess the reason for the title of the post. Its from a popular book we both just read. And it was awful.

    I'd say it's more of a fuschia, really :)

    That is definitely one of the cooler gifts I've seen in a long while.

    Too cool. I have a feeling that 2009 will be an excellent year for you two.

    Jamie, you left the picture out of you with the bull horns on, charging at Wendy. Roar!

    Yes, I agree. Jamie will be the prettiest Matador in the Arena.

    Actually that Capote is pretty awesome.

Army Magic

As requested. Army magic was a variant that the old "Team Quarterstaff" invented years ago and I published an article about it in Scrye. Army Magic: A Multi-Player Variant By Jamie C. Wakefield Axelrod Gunnarson glared out over his barbarous and supernatural army. The foul smelling Karplusan Yeti’s; the Sengir Vampires flying high above; the myriad wizards, clerics and monsters that made up his forces. How the Angels and the Elves held out for so long against him was vexing and inconceivable. He had long ago crushed Palladia-Mors and his Goblins and Dragons. Soon after that, he had defeated the nigh unstoppable Lord of Tresserhorn and his army of Merfolk, Doppelgangers, and Zombies. But still Asmira and her Angels resisted him. If only he could lure them away from her accused Castle, he would have them! But as long as she and her followers remained behind the mystic walls there was little his army could do. For now he would have to wait, and plan. There are many variations fo...

Greed and the One Percenters

It is baffling, and sad, to me that part of the world thinks that profit > all, even at the expense of human dignity.  It gnaws at me every day when I go to a chain gas station or a McDonalds or any other place where I know corporate profits are > everything else in the world. Why can't McDonald's pays its workers more? We all know they can. We all can pay a dime more for a Big Mac. It's like this everywhere. In the UFC, Dana White was brilliant at bringing the sport to mainstream America and generating hundreds of millions of dollars for the Fertitta brothers, who were already billionaires. And even though they could pay their fighters more, they don't. The last payroll for the last event was under a million dollars. The UFC is like the NFL of fighting. The number one organization. Some of the guys that make it there get paid 2k to fight. Meanwhile, Dana and the brothers are gambling away millions at the tables in Vegas.   Yes, I know how the right will respo...

Magic

Wendy and I have just had a long talk. I am getting back into Magic and making a run for the title. My goal this time isn't going to be to get back on the Pro Tour, but to win a Pro Tour. Secret Force: Quest for the Pro Tour II will be available in early June. The reason for this is I need to proof the physical copy of the book that is sent to my house in Vermont and we will be there June 2nd. I will be playing Magic Online until we go home then playing physically anywhere I can find a game while there. When we return to Spain in September I will be playing at a local shop a half kilometer away and writing about playing Spanish Magic with a limited vocabulary.
