Another Turkey day, another piece of poultry. My thanksgiving went without hitch, and god bless turkey day, because enough leftovers from it will keep me fed for a week or so.
Anyway, my inner eye twists itself to see what the good people at Wizards of the Coast (WotC to the initiated) have come up with for Magic: the Gathering (M:TG, again for the initiated). The latest set they have, which I simply am infatiuated with, is called Unhinged. The set could be called an update to Unglued, but hey- only the supremely initiated give a damn about that.
Unhinged clearly demostrates one of the reasons I like Magic, creativity. The game is designed specifically to encourage creativity from all its players, and designers. For instance, R&D at Wizards has recently stopping all the loopholes in one section of the game from being abused too much: we call it "Blue". Blue cards are supposed to represent knowledge and so forth; if you want to learn more, read about the different colors of Magic @ wizards.com/magic/playbig.asp
Anyway, I've been thinking about getting some Unhinged cards, since my sick sense of magic is playing not to win, but to create as much chaos as I possibly can. Odd eh?
The majority of this saturday for me is waiting until six, so I can see Enterprise. You see, ever since the local cable provider here in Pendleton decided to not have UPN as a channel, I've been a little PO'd. Instead we get Fox twice. I like Fox and all (especially that new show, House) but I need my Star Trek fix. So, I tune to Fox every Saturday at six, and watch. I've also got to see that DVD I rented from the Library at the College, the Seven Samurai. I've heard its good. Well, I'm about to see. Thats what I'm up to so far today...
