2320 Hrs Hmmm... Discovered A New & An Old Verse
Saturday, March 25, 2006

This week I have discovered the world of OTR (Old Time Radio) and found some really cool stuff. If anyone likes listening to Abbott and Costello radio shows and that sort of thing then I recommend getting into OTR. Man what a huge verse this was before the advent of TV! If your interested in this, you can check out the links below.

And In Other News:- Some friends and I which get together monthly for a night of 'War' board games, thought we would try doing a few things different to our normal routine. So we decided to make our own game. Wow this has led to some amazing finds & ideas in the verse of Fantasy World Creation. I don't think any of us had any realisation just how gigantic this verse is, especially that of Warhammer 40000. Anyway our project is progressing having developed a map for our world, setting up kingdoms and such like, and if people are interested I can update blogs on our progress. I tell ya this is some really cool fun and some links to check out are below.

However, there is some bad news this week. I haven't yet renewed my supply of the mystical elixer Sable!!! Aaarrrrggg, I'm really going to have to do something about that! (Note To Self - REFRESH SUPPLY). And on top of that I quit smoking - have made it 9 days cold turkey.

Ah well, even though I've enjoyed the week I'm feelin' a bit bummed. I did, however, watch "Jaynestown" again today and got another good laugh out of it. I think this episode is fast becoming my favourite, especially with the drama played out between River and Book - lol.

If you picked up on any of my posts in the forums this week and thought I seemed a bit 'off the planet'...well a lack of nicotine can do strange things to a person. Some people might be inclined to think differently, like its not the nicotine - BUT - thats my story and I'm stickin' to it. Well that brings this entry to a close - such is life.

Damn, I sound like a curmudgeon! It's lack of caffeine, really. Either that or I channeled my Grandfather. (wheezy voice): "Darn kids with your computers! All you do on that is play games. How is that thing ever going to make you any money?(shakes fist in air)" .
Think I'll go sit on my front porch for a while(tee,hee).
By the way, I second FollowMal's question. What is Sable?

I grew up listening to all the "CBS Mystery Theatre" and other suspense shows like that.After I was older I looked up serial shows like "The Green Hornet" and "The Shadow". They were the ancestors of our current TV sitcoms and dramas. It's a far cry from them to the cartoons of today that leave nothing to the imagination and therefore don't encourage folks to actually think and imagine for themselves. I exempt most sci-fi fans from this scathing observation because most sci-fi requires a level of imagination or suspension of disbelief that folks on average either don't have or are 'disinclined to develop'(i.e. lazy). I can only hope that future generations don't pay for this with worse and worse entertainment choices. Is it too late to clone Joss?

Cracker,

My Mom listens to OTR on her XM radio and loves it. Charlei McCarthy is her favorite, but my brother likes Abbot and Costello too. Hope I can find some Fibber McGee and Molly on the sites you posted for my husband. He loves that radio show! So thanks for sharing those.

Congrats on quitting smoking. I quit years ago, best thing I ever did for myself. Hang in there, it gets easier and easier.

What is Sable?, if you don't mind me asking?
