Life, the Universe, and a Meme
<b>Work:</b> Problem Child is still causing problems. Latest utterly classy act: going on a half-hour long rant about how immigrants shouldn't be allowed into Canada and everyone should speak goddamn English - while the really sweet ESL Chinese immigrant cashier was in the room. The whole department wants a firing at this point.
<b>Gaming:</b> We wiped again in SR (surprise, surprise). Current plan of action is to run a more story-based game, with pregenned characters, which everyone likes - except J (again, surprise, surprise). He threw a big hissy fit about the implication that the GM made better characters than he did (he does), and that he wouldn't be able to just run around killing shit all the time (which isn't entertaining and gets the rest of us killed), and we're all hoping that he decides to never come again. In Earthdawn, we killed the Horror that marked us all, and with the help of <s>V</s> the Illusionist/Troubadour Resistance leader, broke into the Imperial prision and freed our friends, who were not in very good shape at all (there was some nastiness with an eyeball >.o). But we have escaped safely and are now preparing for our next adventure.
<b>Garden:</b> Despite the cold, wet weather, my strawberries are doing great, and I will probably have my first crop in another week or two. My squash, on the other hand, which were supposed to be super-easy to grow and cold-tolerant, are looking small and sad. Tomatoes are an unknown right now - still hoping for some warmer weather out here.
<b>Meme:</b>
<i>You are in a mall when the zombies attack. You have:
1. one weapon.
2. one song blasting on the speakers.
3. one famous person to fight alongside you.
Weapon can be real or fictional. Person can be real or fictional.</i>
1) I'm going to go classic and say 12-gauge pump-action shotgun, narrow choke, loaded with buckshot.
2) This one's hard - I am an industrial music fan, and 90% of industrial music is suitable for kicking ass and taking names, but I think either KMFDM's 'Witchhunt' or Rob Zombie's 'Dragula' XD Probably Witchhunt if I had to pick just one.
3) Predictable, but Leon Kennedy, because he knows zombies and all sorts of cool Secret Service shit.
