#6311 Newt-names, got a book to review, grapermelon yuck

Another Crazy-busy day and night… I guess it promotes solid sleep though. I wonder if it will continue to be this busy throughout the winter holidays?

Taking a page from sweetalyssm‘s journal, pet names for the kitty –

  • Newton
  • Noodle
  • Nudist
  • Nudie Bar
  • Newton J Fuzzbutton
  • Newtie-bear
  • Orange Boy
  • Fuzz-Face
  • Stripey Boy
  • Son
  • Furburger
  • Fluffy Monkey
  • Turd Fergerson (if he makes a stinky poop)
  • Pooper McDumpsalot – see above

Many more.. those are just off the top of my head. He seems to know I’m talking to or about him. 🙂

I’m going to have to get on the stick, and place my Amazon orders soon, if I want them to get to the destinations by Christmas. I’m fortunate that I can get a good amount of my shopping done without leaving the house… a pity that Danny doesn’t have a wish list, but I usually buy him local events rather than ranged gifts.

Gold Rush Games sent me a pre-release version of The Dragon’s Gate: San Angelo’s Chinatown sourcebook, on the condition that I review it (and mention that it is in fact a pre-release version, that I don’t distribute the file anywhere else.. standard legalisms.) More about San Angelo is at sacoh.com. It’s 128 pages, so it’ll take a day to digest, and another two to sniff out the pros and cons, I think.

Speaking of which, I picked up the pdf of Darwin’s World 2.0 for d20, and it looks like a lot of fun. (and it’s far better edited, readable and generally of use than the current Gamma World sounds) I wonder what a post-apocalyptic Chinatown would have as a blend of the two? I think the classic mix of Golden age or an old west game would be a lot more suitable.

Wrigley’s “Grapermelon” gum sounds nasty…and 7-11 supposedly has a slurpee of the same flavor. “Limafootstankbeans” seems as palatable.

Hmm… where is that Egyptian Special Dec 7? The closest thing I can find is Nubia: The Forgotten Kingdom (Which looks cool, but is on Wednesday, the 10th.) I imagine I can wait, but don’t want to miss if there’s something else nifty coming up too.
