Got the Dead Like Me movie. Watching it, loving it, will report shortly.

"How do you manage?"

"I’m different then you you, I’m not a pack or herd."

"WHAT?!"

"Wolves, they are pack, so are the cats, I’m not one of them."

He sips his coffee, I wait.

"What the hell are you then?"

I smile and scratch the beard that never goes away, "Bear, be glad it is winter."

I sip my coffee and smile at him showing the fangs that never go away, "It takes a lot of your kind to take us down, so I would suggest this is the shut up and listen part of the night. I’ll get to the rest of the dark nasties of the world here in a bit. Eat your pie, it is great here."

Katie shows up with slices like a goddess, which she was, 2000 years ago. Bakery has become a factory, she has no place of worship any more. We share a smile and she goes to the next customer. I’ll worship at the altar of pie here in a bit, but this young were needs some training.

I continued, "Humans always wanted magic. They had it all along; first iron, then the printing press, atoms, air to ground missles. They pushed us to the corners through numbers and science. There is your magic young packling. The magic of the periodic table."

The kid looks sick, I have to, and I know it is a pun, but a funny one, throw him a bone.

"We still live, just lay low son." I give my Papa Bear smile to Katie she scratches my chin, walks off and I can’t help but growl, the truckers in the next booth go silent. I look over at them and nod.

The kid looks at me and gets almost savvy, "So just a werebear?"

I take a bite of pie, I love this little diner; "No sonny, the first. The first bear that thought he’d like to walk like a human."

I tear into my pie, kids, they just don’t really understand pie after a certain age.

The Fading Suns game is going great. I am really suprised at how the team has taken to the world and the rule set. People seem to be seriously investing in their characters, which is something I always enjoy. Plots are thick on the ground and agendas are all over the place. I’m looking forward to seeing where the game goes from here. One of the most fun parts of the game for me lately is making goofy little sound tracks and audio effects to use in the game, I’m really looking forward to my air raid siren effect.

Spidey gave me the most awesome collection of birfday gifts ever. First off she gave me the new main book edition of Mongoose publishing Traveller. A book I have coveted for a bit. It is as great as I imagined. She also snagged ‘Taint of Madness’ by Chaosium because she didn’t see it on the Call of Cthulhu shelf and she is made of wonderful. Then, finally she got me a Dawn of the Dead original multi-disk anniversary Romero DVD collection.

It is so gorgeous it makes me cry and want to gnaw skulls just thinking about it. I have a wonderful woman in my life.
