Googlewhacking: The Search for The One True Googlewhack

This reminds me of that thing they had us do in the 5th grade, giving the letters of the alphabet values from 1 cent (A) to 26 cents (Z). The goal was to come up with words with the value of a dollar. I didn't have the patience to figure those out either, although I remember "squaws" was one of these "dollar words."

Still, it's a funky thing to do to waste time with.

In this fixation of looking up random identities, I'd say that I need to get a life and then I find this:

I'm Death!
Which Member of the Endless Are You?

So maybe what I really just need to get is a work ethic. Back to the grind. Happy Passover everyone.

Which HP Kid Are You?


But I appear to be Hermione on Anime crack. Go fig. Still, my heart belongs to Bill Weasley.

You know you've been spending too much time thinking about your D&D character when...

the phrase "spell check" conjures visions of a twenty-sided die.

I'm serious. I was working this morning in my screenwriting software, opened the "spell" menu and for a split second expected to find an option for metamagic feats.

This is so sick.

Ah, the joys of being able to waste some serious time. Thanks to WQ for the link.

Of course, in my current campaign I play a chaotic neutral human sorcerer, so it's good to know I'm not trying to be myself. :)

I Am A: Chaotic Good Half-Elf Bard Thief


Alignment:
Chaotic Good characters are independent types with a strong belief in the value of goodness. They have little use for governments and other forces of order, and will generally do their own things, without heed to such groups.


Race:
Half-Elves are a cross between a human and an elf. They are smaller, like their elven ancestors, but have a much shorter lifespan. They are sometimes looked down upon as half-breeds, but this is rare. They have both the curious drive of humans and the patience of elves.


Primary Class:
Bards are the entertainers. They sing, dance, and play instruments to make other people happy, and, frequently, make money. They also tend to dabble in magic a bit.


Secondary Class:
Thieves are the most roguish of the classes. They are sneaky and nimble-fingered, and have skills with traps and locks. While not all use these skills for burglary, that is a common occupation of this class.


Deity:
Hanali Cenanil is the Chaotic Good elven goddess of love, beauty, and art. She is also known as the Heart of Gold and Lady Goldheart. Her followers delight in creation and youth, and work to spread happiness, love, and beauty. Their preferred weapon is the dagger.

They Fight Crime!

Okay okay. So I'm still not getting work done and I'm an incurable lover of random stuff generators. Check it out.

"He's a bookish white trash werewolf with nothing left to lose. She's a hard-bitten insomniac traffic cop with an MBA from Harvard. They fight crime!"
The Page of Generators

WQ chided me for not making an blog entries, and since it wasn't like I was getting any writing done today anyway, I figured I would point to this wonderous time waster. Be sure to check out Bookspinner under the equipment sub-heading.

Okay, so I'm back in the groove of the new semester... more or less. I mean, I had Monday off this week which means that I had class last Friday and then wasn't back in again until yesterday (Thursday), so that's not much of a groove, and now my computer is semi on the fritz and I dropped my I.D. someplace and I'm really hoping someone turns it in because good lord not having it is a pain and I don't want to have to get all of my little stickers again, not to mention getting my picture taken. But other than that, I'm in the groove.

Just got out of 514b also known as "rehashing ideas for a feature yet again until one is permitted to write them in a few weeks." No, I'm kidding, it's not that bad. Class went pretty well today and my stuff was even on the block, so this is all good.

Anyway, my latest little obsession in D&D, which is not good because it means I'm creating characters in three worlds, for my feature, my sit com and now the campaign, which at least I'm not running so I only need to come up with one character background and motivation for that, and she is chaotic neutral, so when all else fails and I don't know what to do I guess I could just do something random.

And WQ has gone home, which is sad, but we had a nice visit which is not sad, and I think we also managed a visit where we have little if any stuff to talk about the fact that we didn't talk about it while we were actually in the same state.

And it's bright and sunny today and I'm going to get out of this basement now.
