Saturday : 24 September 05
I woke up this morning around 6:40, thinking that I was running horribly late for work. Fortunately, my brain engaged a few moments later. It reminded me: “It’s Saturday. Get your ass back in the bed and sleep some more.” I was happy to comply.

, John, Max, Perry and I made a pilgrimage to The Bookshelf and the Clearfield location of The Endzone. I bought a couple of sourcebooks for my Shadowrun game… and some ‘Clix (HeroClix and Mage Knight). Among the haul were:

• Beast (rookie)
• Judge Dredd (rookie)
• Spider-Man (rookie) – I had to have the one with the backpack
• U-Men (rookie)

came over and hung out for a while. She, and I went out for a bite to eat and then came back and watched a tape of the Law & Order: SVU season premiere. Wow. It was intense; and I discussed the seeming descent into… “something” that Det. Stabler seems to be exhibiting. After that, it was Real Time with Bill Maher…

…and then: breakfast. There was a fair turn-out. I neglected to take The Joker for . Oh, well… I’ll find a way to get it to her.

• Looking for dolphins.
• I have memory and awareness
  But I have no shape or form
  As a disembodied spirit
  I am dead and yet unborn

  I have passed into Olympus
  As was told in tales of old
  To the city of Immortals
  Marble white and purest gold

  I see the Gods in battle rage on high
  Thunderbolts across the sky
  I cannot move, I cannot hide
  I feel a silent scream begin inside
