2:48 AM - What a weekend. While blindly wandering along assuming latest play-arounds had solved CDR problems, a mixed MP3 CD caused a complete OS-drive corruption needing an entire re-install of Win98SE. Luckily all previous settings were saved but now 90% of the sites i surf to are showing up as no-graphics Please tell me it is the connections I am making with Sympatico.

We combatted the drudge of the evening with D&D and W&C (wine & cheeze). Ah the wonders of Velveeta and Dep Wine.

6:29 PM - Today's amusement: Picking up a grocery basket in the Metro and finding it to be the exact same one I used last Wednesday, still containing my shopping list and the undetermined crumpled paper from the previous shopper.

Today's pain: Robert the wrestler had to put his new puppy down. She was suffering malformations of her paws that would have left her every step a measure of extreme pain. I always smile that this man, who's dream is to arrange the abuse of other's bodies and minds, is so soft-hearted with his pets that I could feel the pain from his email. Sorry man.

12:56 PM - A weekend if head-banging, teeth grinding and coasters. And not a AndrewWK to be seen. But I found out through a single Googled response that Nero5 installs some DLLs that causes Yamaha CDRs to act all funny under Windows98SE. Talk about specific clusterfricks. Nero4 is installed and pirating happily.

When I first started reading personal, non-journalistic, sites that focused on good story telling, it reminded me of those early days of Zines, before they became photocopy nightmares (which attracted me for an entirely other reason). The writing was fine, but usually too short to make it together as a shortstory collection, and often too weird to end up as a chapbook from your Gottigen St. printing collective. So now someone has decided to do highend zines reflecting the well-written webset. If I had money I would send it to them and buy many to send to off-line friends. Or those who only DL porn.

But I don't take it as seriously as many do, for me it is just good pop culture, a cut above the rest of the dribble on TV. Some people, however, take Buffy very seriously. (fr. the tea cup)

Speaking of cut, they stopped running Law & Order at one PM on A&E !! How can I now get my daily Original Series fix ?!?!

3:52 PM - I think too much about the structure of playing D&D. In creation, storytelling, and continuity issues I often get lost in the details. When I should be focusing on the grand enjoyment schema I over analyse the peripheries. For instance, in the "base town" J currently adventures from, I am mired in the clothes of the townspeople. I have mentioned goat wool, imported woven cloth and leathers. They are far to the north so most cloth comes in by ship import season is short. I haven't concluded where all these goats are kept. Leather usually comes from cows or horses and I barely have room for the goats.

As you can see I have spent far too much time pondering details unimportant as to J's enjoyment and continuity of the storyline. In general, most enjoyable fantasy storytelling (and that is basically what our D&D games are) comes from what you don't know -- how you fill in your own details. To some, it is these details that make world-building fun, but right now they are just a burden.

In saying as much, I have created a small work-around. I call it my five-of-five. When considering any element of the world she is wandering through, I build a top level of 5 points of interest; let's say five Town Businesses. From each of the 5, I build 5 more sub-points, one of which is a secret or a hook; we could know who runs the business, their views on the town overlord and what the shiny sword over the mantle actually is. With this breakdown I am able to narrow my focus and not get lost expanding on things better left questionable.

Now, this made me think about keeping track of web-projects. Sometimes, my conception of a project becomes so massive that I never actually get around to starting the beast. That got me to thinknig about the Outliner meme that was/is going around. I have to wade through the meta-bullshit but I intend on finding out if an Outliner would allow me to flush the details of a project out of my head and into so sort of coherent form. I have started here at JimThompson.net but any suggestions on blog-conversations or related, real-people assessments would be appreciated.

Nice meta to wade through to the link, eh?

11:51 AM - Time waster !! Incriminati is a fun game about hiding things from your parents. I hid exactly one thing from my parents: kenny's multitude of vodka bottles. But I was of drinking age. I was a goodie-goodie. (fr. da rabblerouser)

Oh there WAS the "sack of gold". When I was about 12, Scott and I found a black sack while we were searching for beer bottles for the return. The black sack did not go *clink* so I opened it, as it was pretty full, not tied like garbage, and pretty sturdy looking. Inside? The motherload of a 12-year-old's life: porn. Porn. Porn galore. Banned porn. Nasty porn. There must have been a hundred battered copies. We built up some elaborate story about the local porn purveyor running from the RCMP with his bag of contraband and having to dump it somewhere. To us, porn was Playboy and Penthouse; in this bag we found out that people did all kinds of things we never imagined.

Half the mags sat under my Conans, in my bottom drawer, for a few months until one day I returned from school to find the bottom drawer empty. I panicked. Mom had not said anything but I assumed she was waiting for the right moment, or worse -- for Dad to take care of it. I walked around the house for two days waiting for the guillotine to fall. When a week had passed I was confused and then she asked, "What had Scott wanted on Monday?" Huh? "Well, Scott came to the house and said he left something in your bedroom so i told him to go down and get it," she answered to the look on my face. "It was probably D&D books," I stammered. Half was never enough for Scott. Luckily he missed my favs hidden under the mattress.

11:35 AM - Scene in front of apartment. While sitting here surfing, I notice that the intermittent small horn blowing has been happening for about 15 minutes. I look out the window and see a tan Jaguar, double-parked and blocking two cars from leaving. I wander away shaking head. Ten minutes later I peek out to see the owner of one of the blocked cars walking from store front to store front. As she shares her grief with two sympathetic passersby, a lady in a long fur coat scoots over the snowbank and towards the Jaguar. The other lady walks to her own car and yells at the fur-coater, shaking her bills angrily. Fur-coater actually has the gall to stand there affronted, body language oh-so obvious, as if she had the right to do this.

Yup, I stand at my window, peeking out from behind the curtains looking for something to distract me. I oh-so need a job. Or a tan Jaguar and a fur coat.

1:09 AM - What do you mean my Win98SE disk is only a one-track audio disk ?!? Hrrrmph. Reboot. WHAT ?!? I do so having a frickin' CD-R drive. Reboot. That disk works fine, that disk works fine, that disk works fine... and yet, still a one-track audio. Solution? Once again place newer, faster CD-ROM into pooter. Problem? Cables are never long enough so CD-R and HD1 (kingmob) end up on different IDEs. Problem? Causes coasters.

Time for a hearty ARRRRRGH !! The snow should dampen the sound.

11:40 AM - When I was a kid I had a magazine that offered prop replicas from the most popular of the sci-fi movies. You could get one of the jackets from Battlestar Galactica or a stormtrooper helmet or an actual metal duplicate of Luke's lightsabre, just the handle no glowy-thing. I think that Parks Sabers also saw this magazine when he was a kid. (fr. JF of xWork)

12:15 PM - As I sit here drinking my coffee, the right side of my face begins to give off a low grade moaning, an ache that reaches up through my sinuses. Tuesday's dentist appointment revealed that, due to stress, I have been doing the night-grinds even more than usual. As a result, "crack." After an emergency consultation with a root specialist, I find need for a filling extraction, a root canal and a crowning. So my first question is, "and how much is all of this going to cost me?" Of course, it is too much. She gives me cheaper options, all which will lead to having to re-do much of the work down the road. On top of things, both dentist and root specialist are no longer suggesting a night-plate but stating I need it. I am having such cyclical images in my head.

1:36 PM - She left the luggage and is missing Montreal today. "Do I even have a home anymore?" she asks. I often ask the same thing. I believe I am incapable of seeing the city I am currently living in, wherever that has been for the past 15 years, as anything more than a place to hold my stuph. Five cities in 15 years and countless numbers of apartments. Those I have left behind are starting to fade and I know there will be at least one more move to yet another city.

I don't label any place as home and thus I feel homeless. My parents in CB sold the house I grew up in, Halifax could never employ me, Ottawa is SanFrancisco expensive and Edmonton is too far away. As for nostalgia, I have amalgamated images of each city, tucked away. Fiddle music, card games and the Dawson house is Sydney. Halifax will always be The Green Bean and the Seahorse, Backpages and the Public Gardens. Ottawa will be Zaphod's, Charles & Maryann's open celtic nights, the late House of SpecFic, the Silver Snail and Barry's video store. And walks through the Glebe choosing the house someone will give us. Edmonton is definately Whyte Ave, the Black Dog, the comic store, the LRC and Gushie's apartment where the kitchen window looked into the bathroom. Places of good memories always associated with good people & times. I suppose when I leave Montreal i will label a few places as well; but not while i am here.

In case you weren't at this spot earlier in the week, there was a single page stating something like "This has never happened on the Internet before !! Stay tuned !!" and had a Flash timer counting down the minutes. I guess they were hoping that eager bloggers would note "what IS this?", as very few did, and then inspire massive bouts of spending. Is E-Commerce so bad off that it has to have blue-light specials?

Bleah.

10:03 AM - So, the audience at the "swiz-ix" or "six-swuh" (i prefer the latter only because it does not roll off the tongue) panel on Weblogs was a bunch of webloggers. Talk about preaching to the preachy. They focused on weblogs as journalism, how webloggers are specialists in certain areas and interests.

Ohhhh, is THAT how you get for than a couple of hundred readers a day?!? Claim you are an expert. If we, as we are all webloggers (we need a flag or motto), are going to be journalists then I am gonna ask J to send an ENG to do a standup.

10:02 PM - I am about to stick my nose into the world of print design, in a bid to actually try and do some CD covers for real people. I am not real, you see. And I am a cranky client. I am asking a few people I know in the music biz, as in people with past or current record contracts, about how this sort of thing is done. Any suggestions would be more than welcome and if you know an indie or mega-band looking for something fresh, contact me at my contact page. Its over there, to your right, under the goofy photo.

Anywayz, I thought I would churn out a ton of needed covers and went searching for royalty-free, not gonna cost me a dime (not that stealing has bothered me in the past >:), stock photos. I once had a site in my permalinks connected to Zeldman or someone, right? Yeah it was iStockPhoto but they are no longer free. They are only pennies per pic but they are no longer free. I should just go back to pillaging and plundering. Rawr.

7:17 PM - I am always on the hunt for work-savers for the solo D&D game with J. The EN World - Mini Encounter Competition fits that bill.

Sometimes I wonder if people ask themselves, "why the heck is he posting that? not many people give a hoot about a geek playing D&D." My conversational answer to these rude people, which all takes place in that interesting spot near the back of my brain, is this. Before the days when these things were called weblogs and before we were fishing for links worthy of being linked to by someone else, well in these days i was using the weblog format as a place to drop links I would come back to later and make use of. My Bookmarks always failed in organization but with a bit of prose attached, it works better. Snuff.

And yes I like long unmanageable sentences.

8:30 PM - Oh gawd, I am ODing on the lambcops with garlic i made for din-din. A small truckload of chopped garlic was pressed into the lamb. They were braised in their own juices and were coated with a sauce of the garlic drippings, some broth and lemon/butter sauce. My tongue is still dancing with the tingle of the 4-6 large sized cloves that went into the mix. I finished with something sooooo Maritime standing over the stove, sopping up the left-over drippings with a piece of bread going, "mmmmmm" with each bite.

Just don't sniff me anytime soon.

Today has been a good mental health day, fixing me since I cannot fix the job-thingy. It started with a 2 hour walk over the mountain marvelling at cottages that must house Tolkien dwarves and playing shoots & ladders on the various old Westmount streets. A stop at the Library to get some books for J, to soothe her addictions and our current inability to purchase as many books, was in order and I think I did well. Dentist appointments damning the torpedoes on needed funds in order to end sensitivity & grinding pain. The above meal. And it shall end with some inspired gaming. Tonight, after J has gone to bed, I shall ring 30 or so cold-call resume submittals out the internet. And I shall go to bed without a pain in the tummy.

I can remember some of the most memorable foes emerging from the quirks in some of our earliest BASIC & TurboPascal generators, such as Tzzaaqq or Krxcrt. Anywayz, here is a long list of D&D names that seems generated from European census data.

2:49 AM - I am surrounded by books. In two rooms there are about seven bookshelves jam packed with paperbacks and hardcovers, games & graphic novels. I have always wanted to do a weblog around my reading offline, as this seems to be somewhat about my reading online. The problem is my pace; I am slooooooow. And most of what I read is not worth critical view :)

This probably cannot be said about reading & writing.

12:51 PM - I am slightly confused about the point in Delacour's the art of criticism. To quote him and say it best, "Blogging is diminished by the tame cameraderie that Dvorak condemns."

Now does he mean that we should be performing critiques on other weblogs or should we air our disagreements over particular posts? I think the latter is actively done and often leads to some of the most lively discussion, inter-blog and on comments sections. As for the first, I just don't get the point if there is one.

Why criticize the entirety of someone's blog? For the most part, blogs these days have shied away from critical or reviewed topics and are slice of life reflections. Dogs, jobs, family, rants, likes, dislikes, etc. are the common (and often banal) topics discussed in the blog. Not everyone wants to have (or read) a weblog purely for its critical thinking. Criticizing them is like criticizing someone for their choice of clothing, it just causes hurt feelings and accomplishes nothing. I am occasionally am guilty of the occasional heartless pithy remark but I don't see it as furthering the cause of weblogging.

I care that he considers calico cats as associating with the Devil. I asked my own black cat, Balthazar, if any such things were true and he responded in his best James Earl Jones voice, "Uh huh, like a cute tabby is going to usurp my rightful place at the Dark Lord's right paw." I suppose I should stop calling him Balthy. (fr. MuTex8, which still means nothing to me)

10:56 AM - The only thing more enjoyable, about last night's free screening of "The Time Machine", than Ebert's panning review was seeing Jeremy Irons playing Elric with a backbrace. Bad movie, great production design, but baaad movie.

I should have lingered in the lobby for a glimpse of Molly Parker, who was probably there with the rest of the cast for the premiere of "Men With Brooms", an uber-Canadian movie about curling starring Leslie Nielson ("isn't he that comedian guy?" says confused onlooker behind me), Paul Gross & Molly Parker. It's commercial runs like a CanCon (Canadian radios forced to play popular Canadian bands) Top 5.

1:59 PM - For years, as the prevailing readers have had to find out, I have an itch that I cannot scratch. I desperately want a digital camera of a certain level to produce images for my site and for my CD design. Something along the line of Ed's big photos. I have a couple of toy cameras (two polaroids, a Barbie Cam and a plastic point-n-shoot) but for various reasons (my scanner sux, lost cables, etc.) the results have been less than satisfactory. The latest feature at Digital Web is about making the most of stock for non-photographers. The mentions of making use of toy cams makes me want to burn a hole on my creditcard for a new scanner. Probably not. And yes I am still kicking myself for doffing all that great camera supplies when I left Ottawa, and even more so, for letting D lose my brilliant medium-format camera, which definately was NOT a toy.

11:52 AM - This article about Netochka, a "female" programmer, artist and shit-disturber is quite fascinating. She seems to have risen the act of the Flame War into a performance piece. The audience of her attacks and support are not even sure she is a she, as is appropriate for the environment. I still wonder as to the value of her place as a net icon, as her software may be useful but obfuscation and conflict only maintain interest for so long. The worst thing that can happen to an artist that relies on their reputation is boring people. Like so many other things on the net, people will just move on... (fr. heather)

I have always had a fascination for textures, especially the textures caused by aging and damage. B&W photo of destroyed buildings was a sweet tooth in my youth, the paint peeling and the exposed brick, but I have begun to reduce that interest in size, reaching more for packaging than for warehouses.

2:37 PM - Poik.

1. What's your favorite vacation spot? Vacations? Between moves, lack of cash and not having a job, I have taken precisely one real "left my apartment" vacation in my entire life -- NYC, two septembers ago. But if we were to include summer escapisms when I was young, I would have to go with Benacadie, in the time before the logging moved in and the relatives parceled the land and built houses. Back then it was only the Old House (the house where my grandmother was raised) and a handful of camper trailers. Every day was spent swimming, hiking, fishing and slaying ogres in the hills above. Every night was camp fires, mosquitos and a gathering around the table with my grandmother and grandaunts for endless penny-games of Scat.
2. Where do you consider to be the biggest hell-hole on earth? Etobicoke. You see, its not difficult for me to say as I love travelling, anywhere for any reason. But the string of business trips I did to Etobicoke were horrendous. Experiences with bad motels (fights amongst the prostitutes, unwashed sheets, loud boxing fans etc.), the endless rows of suburban industrial complexes and attempts at matchmaking in a country bar. Don't ask, I don't need the trauma again.
3. What would be your dream vacation? Hmmm, its been pretty pliable over the years but it would require long lasting doses of the following: pubs in Ireland, warm sand and clear blue water, ancient ruins to explore, scantily clad locals, old winding european streets to explore and a few awe inspiring sites. And time. Lots of time. I don't like the idea of being forced to experience everything not having to worry about regrets that I have not done so. So I would like time enough to experience everything there was but also have down time available, in order to sleep under a cocoanut tree with a book on my chest or sit in a pub till 6am listening to old codgers and fiddles while being able to recover the next day under woolen blankets.
4. If you could go on a road-trip with anyone, who would it be and why? Wouldn't matter cuz I would just go to sleep in the back seat anywayz.
5. What are your plans for this weekend? Stop asking that question. I do the same thing this weekend that I do every weekend, try to take... ahh go away.
