I certainly have to say that I am sometimes very glad to be alive. This is certainly one of those moments, just as most of the moments I am conscious and not Hungover are. Thank god for !Alcohol, because with a choice like that, I definitely choose the right way. I will have to say that in my younger days however, that was not necessarily the same choice I made and therefore there were periods of where I did wish I were dead, if only to stop the headaches and other such feelings I typically received from being hungover. Well, this is not the case, and thankyouverymuch.

I read a lot this weekend. Saturday we did some D&D as usual. My "rogue art dealer" managed to acquire several enchanted paintings of exceptional power, such of the kind that is not really ever seen. These paintings were painted with some magical paint brushers by apparently the most skilled painter in the realms and bound with unborn souls stolen from the Bastion of Broken Souls. My current character a Level 12 (ECL 18) drow/half-fiend rogue didn't have much problem locating and smooth-talking the paintings out of the previous owner's hands as they were not all that interesting to the owner, although what I offered them in recompense apparently was. That or maybe I am just able to wittily RP maneuver around my DM.

Either way however, I received a lot of Gold and magical items for finding these paintings for some Archmage who propositioned me at the opening of my "art" shop. Heh.

Other then that, I finished reading Sweet Myth-tery of Life by Robert Aspirin and I am currently involved in reading the next book and I can say that I am having a fun time of it. Very much so.

Also watched a couple of movies starring Sonny Chiba, those being : The Executioner & Golgo13. Both being "low-quality" for today's day and age although both were rather good in my opinion. Sort of "Vintage" is what I would call them, as I tend to enjoy old movies however badly recorded. Sure, the quality might be bad, but the style of movies back then (1974 & 1977 respectively) was much different culturally then the films created nowadays. Same with The Pink Panther, which is another movie I watched, circa. 1963. I must say the lead female role (i don't even know her name) was a very attractive woman, similar in appearance to the woman in the 1969 Romeo & Juliet release. (These women look much like my wife by similarity : note) and I can easily appreciate the difference in style and body-shapes presented back in the 60's & 70's, even though that time-period is long before me.

Ah well, you obviously do not want to read my rambling about beautiful women and so I will cut this short. Although I have a couple more things to say before I wrap it up.

Codemonkypublishing.com has released an update to their Mega-Wizards of the Coast-Bundle Pack for eTools 1.5, which includes updates for several of the data sets, along with the Complete Warrior data set for 3.5 Edition (which I installed and it looked nice!) and so that will make some things at Saturday easier of course. (Esp. for Tom)

And that's about it, I guess.

Later.
