Dragon's Lair Comics and Games in Austin is staffed by petty vindictive grudge-holding assholes who will tell any bullshit story to the management to have you banned from the store based on their personal dislike of you.
You don't ban 2 people from the store 5 minutes after they each place an order for $100 worth of gaming product.
Fuck them, they no longer get my business or recommendations. Fuck them for helping to ruin my birthday fun.

Can't decide whether to be happy about or just meh fuck it.

Why do you always have to get sick or injured on a weekend!?! When I can't get you to vet until a day or two later on Monday!
Then I have to live with the guilt trip of watching you suffer all damned weekend when I can't do jack shit about it!

I want to thank everyone who donated!
Thanks to your generosity we cleared needed costs and are now settling in to the new apt.
Though the poor cat had a rough time adapting. Kitty Baby still has not gotten used to a second floor entry and we keep finding her waiting to be let in at the door to the apt below us.

The place my sister and I sublet in is being sold and the owners only gave us only 2 weeks notice. We've got 11 days till move in on a new place but are short of the necessary time to find deposits and fees. Anything helps, and if you prefer not to go through gofundme, you can PayPal at brianb[at]prismnet.com

Payday has come and the bills have been paid off and some actually caught up on. No more losing net worries for another month.

Caught in a financial crisis, I'm going to lose my internet connection after the Feb 10th. For how long, I'm not sure, we'll just have to see what happens. So just a head up notice so if I don't post or answer for a bit (not that I post much anyway) you won't be left wondering.

Between the short notice eviction, having to sort and pack a three bedroom house (with stuff left from 4 previous roomies) into a single bedroom, the lack of any truck of any sort, lack of people to help, the attempted murder/home-invasion at the new house dragging the move to a dead stop, threats of possible retaliation from the dead murdering-thief's gang, stuck with a third of our stuff at the new place, a third in storage and a third still at the old place, cost of public storage space, insufficient public storage space, confusion over getting net connection transferred, city utilites breathing down my neck about all the unpaid bills the past roomies left me with.

God fucking damnit! Will the fates cut me a some slack!!!!

To those of you who scoffed, or laughed, or just dismissed out of hand whenever I stated my reasons I did not and never would use Skype. And why I suggested you not use it as well.

Landlord selling the house, gave me and my sister the 30 day notice, and now we have a month to find her a job, a new place for us to live and pack a house on short notice. Fun :(

For those of you non-computer gamers out there, watch this journal as I will probably be posting links to sell my excess board games, card games, minis and maybe some RPG books too.

Spartan Games recently held a contest for Firestorm: Armada players/fans to design the next official small class ships for the six core races.
One of my entry's won!

I hope Sorylian players enjoy their new Plumbata class scout corvettes.

I fucking hate it! I can't sleep at all! I can't breath through my mouth because I'll cough and hack all night, I can't breath through my nose because I'll literally choke awake on my own snot.

I CAN'T FUCKING SLEEP AND MAKING ME CRAZY!!!

..are brain-lazy fucktards!!
This isn't computer and console gamers I'm talking about! That's a given that they are.
RP and Wargaming players, what the FUCK! I fully believe now that our civilization is in decline!
Brain-lazy fucktards! Games are now all getting "streamlined" for "quicker gameplay"
BULLSHIT!!! Games are getting dumbed down, no fancy words or PC bullshit about it, they're making the games to accommodate the stupid, unimaginative and the just plain fucking lazy! How the fuck is it an improvement to a god damned tactical war game, to remove tactical options and pigeonhole stuff into fixed and limited capabilites!! It's fucking stupid!

I CURSE YOU!!! ALL YOU BRAIN LAZY, STUPID FUCKS WHO CAN'T THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX! I HOPE YOU ALL FUCKING DIE HORRIBLE DEATHS AND REMOVE YOURSELF FROM THE GENE POOL!!!

I don't think I could thank those service techs enough when they were done.

Where you can't rent a few window unit air conditioners!?! Every damned place is either rent-to-own or some stupidly expensive portable unit on wheels! I just need 3 maybe 4 window units for a week until the parts arrive and to fix the central A/C for the house.

Does anyone know of a place in Austin, Texas that might rent small units like this?

Now I know how the Witch felt!
Of all the shitty timing for the A/C to blow up! I've been sitting in an Un-air-conditioned house for two days of 105+ degree heat. I hope to God that it can be fixed today so I don't have to wait another day in this sweltering hell.

Who will win the '66 Batmobile from the TV series or the '89 Batmobile from the Tim Burton movies?

Due to the double whammy of poor cam and poor lighting situation, neither of which can be helped. I won't be streaming anything. Tests showed that you basically couldn't see shit with my current setup.

Just wondering, seeing so many other artists streaming not just art drawing/coloring but gaming and other stuff, would anyone be interested in watching if I streamed my amateur gaming mini painting efforts?

God bless my Secret Santa(s), whoever they are!!!
And if He doesn't, I'll find out somehow and kick Him in the balls!

I'd like to wish you all Happy Holidays this year!

Talking about the Eberron Unlimited MMORPG? I'm on the Thelannis (sp?) server. Have an 8th level fighter and 6th level rogue, just a casual player who occasionally would like some help with certain dungeons/quests. Don't have much money to spare so I only play the free dungeons.

 Cheska is in need to help cover the cost of her meds, and putting some RPG books up for sale. Looking to start/finish that collection of Vampire: The Masquerade, Rifts, or Robotech? Check out her listings in her journals.
