Shipping from Texas to Australia must be expensive

I made my semi-annual pilgrimage to ADB's website yesterday - google it, I don't do links. As usual, there were a ton of new products that I just had to have. One of them was the d20 version of their Star Fleet Universe role-playing game. I'm already dreaming up a campaign to GM with that. It hit me today as I was trying to think of a witty title for this entry - why do they have to have witty titles? - that when I move to Sydney that shipping is going to be quite dear. Maybe I'll order the stuff and have it sent to a friend's house and pick it up when I visit; Oh yeah, that'll be much cheaper. An round trip flight from Sydney to Pittsburgh has to be less than the cost to ship a few pounds overseas. Eat it, Rommie dear.

Candlemass. What do you give people who can find anything they want, especially when you don't know them? Bleys, a psychologist whom he can't manipulate. Gerard, the 12-step program to fix it all. Flora, a crown perhaps. Julian, a good shave. Benedict, a get out of jail free card. Caine, a t-shirt that says "I'm not foolin' anyone, y'know". Corwin, a stern talking to. Llewella, nothing - you don't need it. Random, a good plastic surgeon. Ah good, rambling produces results.

Some DMing styles - which I will politely call anal - really annoy me.

I saved the best for last. I finally made a decision on the Wedding Gown. Vera Wang. Definitely. I had really wanted a Versace and had to really talk myself into something else; the shirt in my picture here is Versace, but it seems so old school. Okay, so I only chose the designer. That's a big step! I've got an appointment in September at her Madison Avenue Salon. I'll probably buy the bridesmaids gowns there too. Yes, I know, be careful. Women come in all sizes and don't want to wear something that isn't flattering. I'm old enough to know better. I can not wait!!!!!!!!!
