note to self
another coincidence: both Jens and Darren C were both November 9th. And they're both in my life now. Tentatively.

A Day
I was kinda sick in the middle of the night. Likely reflux; I'm a lot better now, if not perfect. But it's scary.
Today is such a pretty day, though: mid-60s, sunshine, and the smell of wood from someone's grill coming through the window. It's supposed to be just as nice; there will be barbecue. Oh yes, there will.
And Prilosec.
How's your weekend?

Wow
I'm currently in the largest arcade I've EVER been in, there are many RARE games in here dating back over 60 years, and EVERY game happens to be on free-play! Almost every game is in primo condition, shiny, new and playing correctly, and RUSH is blasting out of the PA system. Is this some kind of pinball-induced delirium? Or have I perhaps died and been reborn in videogame Valhalla? No, it's the Houston Area Arcade Expo, and it's happening RIGHT NOW!
If all this sounds like your kind of thing, and you can make it to Houston, do yourself a BIG favor and come on out here. Here's proof (I promise I'll shoot and edit a better walkthrough tomorrow, but this should give you an idea of what you're missing!)
Games I played Friday night:
Quantum (real one's easier than my emulation at home)
Sally (still hard as hell)
Kings & Queens (Legendary electro-mechanical [E.M.] Gottlieb game)
Mayfair (LOTS of stuff going on for a 1965 EM! Damned game almost plays ITSELF.)
Slick Chick (totally restored... lots of fun! Can't wait to get mine repaired)
Banzai Run (used to LOVE this one when it was new, still love it)
Black Hole (mega challenging but I got to multilevel multiball after a few plays)
Black Pyramid (run of the mill early 80's Bally)
Medusa (total dark horse, WOW what a game... if I ever run across one I'm picking it up.)
Apollo 13 (great game, didn't make it to 13 ball multiball)
Lord of the Rings (played it practically in my sleep at 1:30am, got #1 high score. This game is too easy)
Gorgar (original talking game, not in good shape, couldn't hear speech over the din)
C.S.I. (Stern's newest game is MUCH better than expected)
F14 Tomcat (I used to kill at this game, unfortunately couldn't even get to multiball)
Spy Hunter pinball (never played this before; much better than expected)
Simpsons Pinball Party (great game, and I made it to multiball; difficult on this game)
Varkon (rare vertical pinball - wow... need to play this one some more)
Pinbot (lousy condition playfield, but it played really well)
High Speed (amazing restoration, with some really cool 'custom shop' touches and BLINDING lighting)
Earthshaker (great restoration, but I didn't like the look of the LED lamps the owner had used.)
I also played some great Williams EM's that weren't at any past expos. Unfortunately I can't remember the names...
LED lighting seems to be the new trend, and there's a bunch of companies selling the aftermarket bulbs. These bulbs are brighter than the incandescents they replace and put out less heat than their predecessors, which is great for reducing wear on the game's transistors and heat damage to a game's plastics and paint. However, on a couple of these games, the light is TOO blinding - distracting in areas that never had so much light output, and MPU controlled lights (feature lights) tend to exhibit an annoying stroboscopic effect, as LED's have no filament and therefore no 'phosphor lag' - so you can see their refresh rate. This leads to a 'digital' look as your eye follows the ball around the playfield (sort of like the LED taillights on cars these days.) Nevertheless, I think I will be treating my games to some LED's on the more inaccessible areas of the playfield, next time I do a major shop job on them...

- We actually see Lenore as a mermaid in her natural habitat.
- Serena transforms into a mermaid
- The rest of the story of Daphnis and Thyrsis gets told.
- Lenore and Chris have sex.
- Betrayal by one of the characters.
- A cameo by Jenny Everywhere.
- More nudity of both female and male characters.
- More experimenting with perspective and background.
- More ninjas!
- Zombie Pirates
- Ninjas vs. Zombie Pirates!
- Crossovers with other webcomics
- Stick in random characters and references to webcomics I've done in the past (many of which are no longer online)
- More Classical mythology references
- Use Public Domain Golden Age comic book characters in the story.

Week 9 picks
(As seen on ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) 19_weeks , where somehow I still lead)
Also I have pulled ahead among my coworkers in their NFL picks game. Of course there's plenty of season left, so I don't know how long that will last.
Here's what I've got for this weekend, my choices in ALL CAPS:
BALTIMORE @ Cincinnati (this one could go either way, but Ravens are close to must-win situation)
Houston @ INDIANAPOLIS
GREEN BAY @ Tampa Bay
Arizona @ CHICAGO (extremely hard to pick, both teams have equal records, equal big-game potential mitigated by equal degrees of suck)
Kansas City @ JACKSONVILLE
Miami @ NEW ENGLAND
Washington @ ATLANTA
Carolina @ NEW ORLEANS
Detroit @ SEATTLE
Tennessee @ SAN FRANCISCO
San Diego @ NY GIANTS (Giants need the win, and it seems Chargers have forgotten how, at least against the power teams)
Dallas @ PHILADELPHIA (as the Cowboys start circling the drain...)
Monday: PITTSBURGH @ Denver (I'm thinking prime time belongs to the Steelers)

I'm in Nashville
Yeah ... scary. Meeting up with folks from an old message board as soon as I can work out how to get to where they are.
Wish me luck, I'm really afraid that my inner hillbilly may come out ... still, if it didn't in Branson, what sort of threat could Nashville be?
If you see me next week at Windy with a cowboy hat, you'll know I lost.

Again The Shadow Of The Wing Of Death
Mrs. Professor had a blowout on the Mass Pike this morning, coming out of the Allston toll plaza. She did not die. This is a good thing.
She pulled into the breakdown lane – with difficulty, since no one would let her pull over. She called Triple A, which called the Staties, who sent a truck, which changed her tire for her and put on the donut. (She was disinclined to stand in the travel lane to do it herself. And we don’t have a jack in any case.)
Shaken, after consultation with me, she came home instead of trying to continue to work. I patted her and made her tea and settled her in her comfy chair under a quilt. I took the car off and got a new tire, and got the car aligned while I was there. It needed it. (They thought she might have run over something; it looked like an impact break to the guy at the tire place.)
This is another bad thing about my not working with her any more – she has to deal with disasters by herself. Not that she’s not competent and capable and adult, but it’s much nicer if you have company and support when it all goes in the crapper.
She’s not hurt and that’s important. I’ll have the heebie-jeebies tomorrow.

A Serious question of Comedy
So, "The Legend of PRB" has been doing smashingly on the DT20...thank you all who've voted for it (two weeks in a row at number 1! Woo!). This brings about a serious question...
Many have said it's one of my best songs, musically and vocally (which for me, is a big thing, considering I'm...we'll say, not the strongest of singers). I'm currently considering sending it to Dr Demento for his show, but the subject matter is keeping me from it. Considering it's about a REAL person whom I know personally, some of the jokes may be considered a bit to "in" for the show (despite my attempt to make them as broad about general drinking as possible, it IS funnier if you know of Rob's "Party" persona, IMO) and that may keep it from being played. However, since Rob's own song "Gamer Funk" (which itself is also about the con scene) has been number 1 two months running on Dr Demento's Top Ten, a SONG about the number one artist would do at least moderately well in that setting...or so my theory goes.
What say you, friends? Should I just forgo all worries of "in jokes" and send it, or should I keep it twixt our little comedy music community? Please...any help would be appreciated.
Oh, and thanks again for voting for my songs...after doing this for 15 years only locally and without much success, to have my work be so well received is amazing, and I love you all. Seriously. ^_^
