Ass-backwards...

Funny story. At work today, I found myself with a constant wedgie. One that I had to pick roughly every few minutes.

After a few hours, I quickly groped around and discovered that somehow, I had put on my underpants on backwards.

Seriously.

To put this into perspective...I don't dress in the dark, so I can't even use that as an excuse. I've been pretty out of it the last few days, though. Haven't been sleeping well, and I think I might be coming down with something too.

Also, it was my birthday on the 17th, so I'm now basking in my own decreptitude at the ripe old age of 34.

I did manage to grab Star Wars: The Clone Wars, season 2, and watched all of it over the course of this last week. Still a pretty good show.

I've also started collecting a board(-ish) game called Heroscape. It's basically a dumbed-down, tabletop RPG game with pre-painted miniatures. I've probably spent $400 buying figures and expansions for it. Bad news is, apparently the owners of it, Wizards of the Coast (current owners of the Dungeons & Dragons RPG) dropped it back in November, leaving the game without a distributor. So now everything is essentially out-of-print. What that means is...without any continuing production, prices for existing/remaining content in shops will go through the roof and the rarer stuff that I don't have will become even more expensive.

Case-in-point...A small jungle expansion with 4 spider miniatures, a smattering of tiles, and a copse of trees was going for $200+ on E-bay. That's about 5X what the set was originally worth.

But not to worry. I think I'm going to break out some arty skills and custom-make my own tiles, trees, and whatever-the-Hell else I want.

SHAZAM!
