The Great Wave off Kanagawa is so fucking awesome.
Color wood block printing for the win.
It now just makes me think of this political cartoon that completely misses the point.
"Missing the point" implies that there is a point to miss. As long as bond interest rates are so low that people are paying us to borrow their money, and the market rates T-bills as the safest investment in the world, there is absolutely no debt problem.
I got to play with Bulgarian girl's 8 month old niece today. My iPhone was the best toy - it showed pictures, it was also good for bashing on things and sliding around the carpet. I think she was largely excited that it was the only thing her hands were big enough to hold onto.
This thread on NeoGAF is going to go great places.
Here's the rundown:
I met a really nice girl on Geek 2 Geek, a geek dating website that specializes in hooking up people who are particularly nerdy. I wasn't supposed to. The site incorrectly gave me a free month of use. I post frequently in the OkCupid thread, having used that and plentyoffish before. The reason I use these sites instead of say, a bar, is because I have much more game over the internet than in real life. Which is not to say I don't have any in real life, which I do. I just prefer the internet because it's easier to gauge someone's interest in you than weird body language or mixed signals. At least to me.
Anyway, back to the story. I met her right before Christmas, and on Christmas Eve, we had a four hour conversation over the phone that was positively awesome. The next night, we had another, and it was clear to me that this girl was something special.
Fast forward to two days later, and she's remarking how happy she's been in a long time, especially being able to find someone to relate to much more so than any guy's she's been with in the past. This is when she drops the bombshell on me. She is willing to send me a check with money to get a plane ticket to see her. I'm floored. No one has ever offered to do that for me in my life.
I figure, why the hell not, and say yes. I don't have anything tying me down at the moment (job nonexistent, career slowly starting), and accept. A week later, the check arrives, and it's for $300. Before that check arrived though, she ends up instead buying the ticket online and telling me to bank the money I just got from her.
Floored again. I can't just refuse someone now who especially already spent their money on me by buying a ticket. It would be against my own code of honor. It would be a slap in the face.
I don't need condoms. Things are taken care of. Plus she doesn't want kids.
Stuff like this really shows the declining quality of H&A

It makes a big difference. I've played with it a few times now and it made the mission decks much more important. And since Feds are more Science, and Klingons more Combat, allows the Influence deck to come into play.
I figure I could take a bear.

TWO WEEKS INTO Ted Kaptchuk’s first randomized clinical drug trial, nearly a third of his 270 subjects complained of awful side effects. All the patients had joined the study hoping to alleviate severe arm pain: carpal tunnel, tendinitis, chronic pain in the elbow, shoulder, wrist. In one part of the study, half the subjects received pain-reducing pills; the others were offered acupuncture treatments. And in both cases, people began to call in, saying they couldn’t get out of bed. The pills were making them sluggish, the needles caused swelling and redness; some patients’ pain ballooned to nightmarish levels. “The side effects were simply amazing,” Kaptchuk explains; curiously, they were exactly what patients had been warned their treatment might produce. But even more astounding, most of the other patients reported real relief, and those who received acupuncture felt even better than those on the anti-pain pill. These were exceptional findings: no one had ever proven that acupuncture worked better than painkillers. But Kaptchuk’s study didn’t prove it, either. The pills his team had given patients were actually made of cornstarch; the “acupuncture” needles were retractable shams that never pierced the skin. The study wasn’t aimed at comparing two treatments. It was designed to compare two fakes.
Im not going to post the profile but ill say its on page 16 of that thread if you really want to look

Geek2geek is a thing?
Damn my self-stigmatizing that kind of stuff, I imagine it would probably be an overall positive step in my life, but I just don't think I can bring myself to do that. I just think about it and this is all I hear

No reason why not - I just couldn't think of a thematic reason why the Feds would be fighting.
I really recommend a house rule though:

I'm imagining the yakitori man as a ratchety old kami who is messing with you for kicks and the snack bar is really his own pocket dimension.
I can't see how this is not the case.
Though, if anything happens, you'll be able to talk about the time a japanese kebab salesman took you barhopping got you laid

I am unaware of subjects about which people do not post every damn thing on Facebook. Kvetching about unemployment is the least of it.

Cheers. I just read the lone comment on BGG, and apparently it is unclear that the new action costs an action.
This action does in fact cost an action.
never you mind.
