Weekend Feasts, Jammin', ROUS, Teh Stupid

[tcpip]

You know you've had weekend feasts when you weigh 2.5kgs more on Monday morning than you did on Saturday morning. Last weekend included an excellent and well-attended Christmas cocktail party with magnificent food hosted by txxxpxx, who deserves a medal for her efforts (and Mr.Pxxx too!). Spent much of the evening chatting to severina_242, horngirl, recumbenteer among others, including usekh, who was very entertaining. Following day was the Unitarian's christmas gathering; whilst I have a similar distate for such tunes as caseopaya (although my opposition is more towards humour than revulsion), the performance of the singers and Therese Virtue's choir was very good. Oh, and more food followed.

Other weekend events included working on Saturday, consisting of separating our mail and mailman/web servers and moving the former to Zimbra. On Sunday played through more of D3: The Vault of the Drow. The DM explained over dinner the complete lack of structure in the module; I haven't read through it yet, but he's doing a reasonable job under the circumstances. Currently debating with myself over what gaming to do next year. High on the agenda is a "classic RuneQuest" consisting of Borderlands, Pavis and Big Rubble which are undoubtably among the best gaming supplements of all time. Looking forward to imajica_lj's offer to run Call of Cthulhu's Masks of Nyarlathotep which, from all accounts, is pretty damn fine as well.

An excellent act of culture jamming against those wanting to block the ACTs Civil Partnership Bill (protected, essentially go here and use their resources to say what you really think). Rodents of Unusual Size (from gevauden. Please stop the stupid (again). Under a new German law, a 15-year-old who posts a picture of herself in a bikini on the internet would be guilty of disseminating pornography.

Rodents of Unusual Size

I had no idea Howard even wanted to go to the Bali conference, much less that he'd gotten himself lost then found by scientists.

From the article on the German law you cited: "[The Bill] was triggered by a case in Pittsburgh, America, where a 15-year-old girl sent a friend nude pictures of herself over the internet. The girl was charged with distributing child pornography and faces a long jail term.

Urgh. My brain hurts. Why are American conservatives so mind bendingly thick? Huge gaol time penalty, massive social stigma of being labelled a child porn publisher, the case ignoring the obvious point that she is her own victim...

Every single person who was involved in that farce making it to trial needs their head examined.

Tks for coming on Sat night. Glad you enjoyed it. :)
