I just watched the reason TV coverage of Glenn Beck's Restoring Honor rally. I was struck by a few things.

a) it had nothing to do with honor at all.
b) the people there had no political similarities apart from being "not liberals".
c) they have no idea what they're mad about.

But I think I do, now. or I'm starting to get it.

How was my weekend? I'm glad you asked.

Friday night was the Dayton game. How was it? It was okay. I hear others had a great time. My time was enjoyable, if not thrilling. At least there was Setite love. After, we went to Club Vex, which was a good time. I got as dressed up as I could (without my straight jacket) and Traci forced me to dance by way of looking hot. I, for those of you who have never been out with me, do not dance. But I gave it a shot. I think I made her dizzy and I may have been a public health hazard, but I moved.

Anyone out there have my straight jacket? I thought i loaned it out to someone ...

If anyone has it, let me know. I wants it back now.

It looks a lot like this one:

So as I found out yesterday, I had my user settings here wrong, meaning that anyone could create an account. not bad till you realize that those people can then post blog entries on my blog. So I had about a thousand bits of spam/ads/viagra links here.

I have fixed that, and in the process I deleted every user account that wasn't me or Traci. If you had or want an account here, drop me an email or post or something (posting on my facebook or lj will actually get you faster results, but I'll eventually notice it here).

If I deleted your account, sorry. I'll fix it.

Has anyone seen this commercial?

Summerland, for those of you who are unaware, is a druid festival. it happens every year around this time and takes place at Camp Clifton, which is just next to Clifton Gorge in Yellow Springs. It's pretty safe to say that the area is lovely. There's a lot of good old fashioned "nature", a huge fire pit for rituals, big dining hall, huge pavilion, etc.

Last night's WoD game was good. It wasn't hugely plot forwarding and it got going late, but that wasn't a big deal. The stuff that happened was fun and the character development was nice.

Tonight is all Summerlands prep. We are woefully underprepared, as we always are. it'll be a good time, though. Summerlands will be a good chance to celebrate, relax, to send off Isaac as well as to ordain and consecrate a few people who now have big shoes to fill.

In many roleplaying games, you can buy a curse type flaw. Here is where games fail to model real life.

a) in the game, the curse is always relevant to the game. In a vampire game you might be cursed so that you can never lie. Or that you always rise late. Or that everyone you feed on tastes bad. Something like that. But there's a lot more to a life than what we see in the action of the game.

b) everyone knows they're cursed. Why would you know that? Maybe if someone told you ...

Isaac Bonewits was born 1949. Any other obituary style entry would tell you about his childhood and parents and honestly, that's not what this is about.

This is about Isaac Bonewits. The most excellent pimp ever.

Just look at this pimptastic motherfucker.

The Three Cranes Grove (formerly the Three Cranes Protogrove, formerly two guys and some undercooked meat) has been through a lot in our eight years (including some stuff I missed due to a powerful lapse in logic). But to my mind, none of it was quite so monumental as what happened yesterday. It's still fresh in my mind and I usually like to let things ruminate before I get them out, but I think now is the time.
