The Hēathernet 20oz. to Geekdom

Brief news and notes

I should at least pretend to be a blogger twice this month.

5) Twilight was released on DVD today and as the Entertainment Specialist that made it a pretty big day for me. Even though my job is still endless retail fluff it does make a difference to have actual respnsibilities. I get to make the new releases magically appear on their new magical spots and that's kinda fun. Kinda. Point two about Twilight: It's always strange to be in close proximity to a pop culture phenomenon that you're not a part of. A woman stood by the Twilight endcap today and gushed about seeing the movie 8 times in the theater. Um, why?

4) The previous post that lauded Dungeons and Dragons, and I'm sure would make someone else say, "Um, why," has brought forth delicious fruits from the seeds of hope it hid within. We've put in two sessions of what has tenderly approached being a weekly game. It's hard to manage true feedback and interaction over the internet. After sessions so far I'm worried that everyone else is having a good time. Wednesday, however, I quickly begn daydreaming about swashbuckling aboard shops crackling with arcane magic and barbaric might. It does the trick.

3) Visited the fine state of New Hampshire to partake in the Mezeskian tradition of Irish Breakfast. I love the feel of New England everytime I explore it that deep to the east. The sidewalks are never even, the thunder of patriot horseshoes echoing under your every step and the sky filled with the smoke of musket fire and kitchen hearths.

2) This post is an homage to BPitts blog. One of the finest bloggers I know. He is a master of thoughtful points captured in concise statements.

1) And finally, there will be more TDWTW...?!?, CWW, Retail Tales... There just can't be any kind of guarantee or schedule to them. 40 hours a week of a job I only mildly tolerate is an adjustment process. So far when I get home I can only sit in my chair, wondering what I'm supposed to be doing.
