The Gaming Outpost

Sometimes why I’m watching a movie, I suddenly say to myself, That’s a mistake; that could not have happened that way.  The thing is, I did it while watching Source Code, only to discover after the fact that it was not a mistake–it was, well, as the title of the article suggests, Source Code part 6:  first clue, a hint that what we are told is not the reality we are seeing.  That is explained in more detail in the latest Examiner temporal anomalies article.

Speaking of that which was not what I thought, today took me to the emergency room with our sick family member.  We called the doctor’s office, but he said intravenous fluids were likely going to be required so it made more sense to go to the hospital directly–and our brilliant diagnostician was correct.  However, it chewed up enough of my time that I did not make it to rehearsal and it looks like I’m leaving a lot of other tasks unfinished.

I did have opportunity earlier (like, yesterday and the day before) to read the latest contributions from Eric Ashley.  Practise Bits:  Dragon does not contain a dragon, but does contain a vengeance that might not have been exceeded by one.  Practise Bits:  Fracking is a dialogue piece, a business meeting between a man in an unusual business and a security consultant of sorts, in which Eric comments on the modern economic world via a surrogate universe.

A bit of a joke passed my way earlier, and I’m intrigued to note that according to the Geek Zodiac I am a Time Traveler.  What makes this more humorous, I suppose, is that the person who passed this information to me was sending it as a general Tweet to all his followers and probably would not have known that my birth year falls in the Time Traveler sign.  I also took note that my son Kyler is a Wizard.  The others are interesting, too, but he is the one known to people here, so he gets special mention.

Well, as I said, my day has been badly battered and I’ve less than enough time for what remains to be done, so I’d better sign off and look elsewhere.
