The other night I had a dream that I was supposed to go on a date. I took the bus to the lady's apartment, dressed in a suit and carrying flowers. The lady in question wasn't home and wasn't answering her phone. I knew I'd just been ditched unceremoniously. No problem, I went to a bar to meet with some family members, all of whom died years ago. We asked different questions and marked blank sheets of paper with a marker as if the questions had been written down. I started a monologue about love in Tolkien's works but never finished. My great-uncle introduced me to a young woman he called his niece. I rode a bus with the niece and talked for a bit. Another woman boarded. The niece left with the woman without saying goodbye to me. I tried to follow them but lost them and found myself in a comedy club. Ditched twice in the same dream!

If my old company understood that, I'd probably still be an employee there. Even when they asked me to come back they offered no incentive for me to do so.

I admit that it's easier to add the sound effects when using virtual tabletops than when playing face to face. Even adding the right music at the right time disrupts the flow of the game. Most games I've taken part in that had music just had it playing in the background, and the music didn't always match the background. I still think of the AD&D games I played with friends in the late 80s and early 90s when I hear Queen's "We are the Champions."

Enter the Dragonball Z Granted, it's not much of of a crossover as far as genre is concerned.

Adding background music to the game is nothing new, but what about sound effects?

You know you're stressed out when you curse as much in your dreams as you do when you're awake.

Unfortunately, all government-operated websites seem to have that problem. Logging into any of those sites, be they health care or jobs, is always a frustrating experience.

LOTR in the MCU. Flash Thompson sets Peter Parker up on a blind date, saying "Have I got a girl for you!" The blind date turns out to be Shelob.

And I'm sunburned after doing yardwork yesterday. I look like a boiled lobster.
