Some Things
Apr. 24th, 2010 06:32 pmBeen feeling sick. Spent most of yesterday in bed and still didn't sleep well. I've got some sort of stomach bug that's keeping me sidelined. But I will not let it stop me from seeing double/triple features this week.
No RPG last week, and possibly none this week, but I did manage to get some boardgaming in with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cramerica and ojouchan. Games played: Bang, Red November, Werewolf, and Roll through the Ages. I got hosed in Bang, by the cards as well as the players, but we squeaked out a win in the cooperative Red November. (One gnome died at the very end, but everyone else survived.) Werewolf was meh, which is usually my opinion. And I really enjoyed Roll through the Ages, which had a lot of nice strategy in a simple presentation.
Three weeks ago, we were talking about Bioshock during RPG gaming. Another players was working their way through it and was a bit behind me. Two weeks ago, the other guy had finished the game, and I'd advanced another level. WHUT?
Shamed, I've been trying to hurry my gameplaying, but I'm a naturally slow player. And that caution has taken its toll. I've got way too much money, and when I try to spend it, I usually find that I don't have any thing I need to buy. I think I'm pretty close to the end now, though.
Holy shit, Arizona!
It looks like Brewer signed the bill on Friday hoping to bury it in the news cycle. Campaigns like Alto Arizona are still set up to leverage a veto, so it's not clear what's going to happen going forward. But there's a demonstration planned for tomorrow, so I imagine there'll be a new course of action come Monday morning.
In other racism takedowns:
Fourth place in an icon contest. Hey, Dan, want a Ratio Hornblower icon?

In other racism takedowns:
- Racialicious and Daniel Hernandez explain why "The Entryway" is both racist and not journalism.
![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
deepad explains that if you think that The Heart of Darkness is "a positive example of a Westerner writing about a non-Western culture, producing a work of fiction that gives a valuable insight into that non-Western culture," you maybe have a bit to learn about anti-racist theory.- A number of people explain how a brief, flippant remark about "a few dead indians" are just the tip of the iceberg of racism that spans centuries of genocide.
