1:30 pm	Looking The Gift Horse In The Mouth I seem to have been sent a gift. A "Bible Black: Reika Kitami 1/8 Scale Figure" was sent to me, without any packing slip or order invoice, so it would seem it was a gift from someone who knows where I live. I didn't order it. I'd once heard about Bible Black as a hentai series (from Japan) involving witches and stuff, but that's it. I don't know why I was chosen for this singular honor, nor who sent it to me. I'm just sitting here, looking at my apparently $70 figure and wondering what to do with it. Aaron "The Mad Whitaker" Bourque; I linked to the store it was bought from, who tried there best to help me figure it out, so if that place is maybe your thing, browse freely.

2:06 pm	What A Day Technically, what a last 24 hours. scans_daily goes kaput, and I lose my job. I don't think the two have anything to do with each other, though. The good news is that scans_daily's rotting corpse isn't completely dead. The bad news is, in this economy, I'm not hopeful about my job prospects. Aaron "The Mad Whitaker" Bourque; but hey. I'm pretty sure I qualify for unemployment, now! Yay, I get to be an even bigger drain on society than before!

10:47 pm	Well, It Certainly Has Been A While, Hasn't It? I said in my first post that this place was not for fiction. But I've been thinking about it more and more, and I need an outlet, and I need the exercise. Of course, if I started posting stories or story fragments here, it wouldn't be long before I ended up not posting story fragments . . . Anyway, I also have been mulling a post in the style of some previous posts I've made before. Only about either Wonder Woman or one of the many legacy heroes that have cropped up in DC since forever. I've got 3 days off a week, I ought to spend at least some of that time constructively . . . Aaron "The Mad Whitaker" Bourque Current Mood: contemplative Current Music: ...

9:50 pm	Double! Pwned! I'm going through an archive trawl for No Need For Bushido (NNFB), and it's rapidly becoming a favorite. This page is brilliant. You don't need to know anything about the comic to get the gag, and it works as a portrayal of ultimate badassery. I really enjoy the comic's use of nonomatopoeia, in almost every page of each fight scene. Aaron "The Mad Whitaker" Bourque; "scabbardcatch" was also pretty cool.

12:01 pm	I Could Almost Be A Bad Ass! I Am A: Lawful Good Human Paladin (4th Level) Ability Scores: Strength-13 Dexterity-13 Constitution-11 Intelligence-17 Wisdom-13 Charisma-12 Alignment: Lawful Good A lawful good character acts as a good person is expected or required to act. He combines a commitment to oppose evil with the discipline to fight relentlessly. He tells the truth, keeps his word, helps those in need, and speaks out against injustice. A lawful good character hates to see the guilty go unpunished. Lawful good is the best alignment you can be because it combines honor and compassion. However, lawful good can be a dangerous alignment because it restricts freedom and criminalizes self-interest. Race: Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like. Class: Paladins take their adventures seriously, and even a mundane mission is, in the heart of the paladin, a personal test an opportunity to demonstrate bravery, to learn tactics, and to find ways to do good. Divine power protects these warriors of virtue, warding off harm, protecting from disease, healing, and guarding against fear. The paladin can also direct this power to help others, healing wounds or curing diseases, and also use it to destroy evil. Experienced paladins can smite evil foes and turn away undead. A paladin's Wisdom score should be high, as this determines the maximum spell level that they can cast. Many of the paladin's special abilities also benefit from a high Charisma score.

9:51 pm	It's the day after Thanksgiving, which means it's officially Christmas season in he US, so I thought I'd take the time to get everyone in the proper spirit on this day of days. How do I do this? Seven pages from Uncle Scrooge 251, one of the best christmas issues ever published. It starts with a classic Barks Christmas story, then it goes into this, a little story called "'Tis The Season." And this letter, which ran in all of the comics edited by Mr. Robert Foster that month. I hope you all have a very merry Christmas. Aaron "The Mad Whitaker" Bourque; and if you don't, I just won't care. Current Mood: all misty Current Music: God Is In The Radio by Queens of The Stone Age (Comment on this)

1:07 pm	Bureaucracy Doesn't Work My sister, the one with Downs' Syndrome, gets a check from the government every month. It's not really a lot, just supposed to help her pay for things here and there. But now, we've moved and have to pay rent, which apparently changes our circumstances enough for the government to reduce the size of her check. Why? Because our family unit now requires a monthly expenditure greater than it was before, which at least part of the government check is supposed to go towards. The amount my sister is supposed to contribute towards the rent and such is X, and the amount of money the check is each month is X minus 2 or 3 dollars. So her check is 2 or 3 dollars less than what the government formula says she has to contribute to the household, so the government check needs to be reduced by $200+! How does that make any sort of sense? She's two or three bucks short, so her social security check has to get reduced by more? How is she supposed to come close to contributing what the formula says she's supposed to? This makes anti-sense! She's two or three bucks short, so we'll reduce it by $200 more! Now, she'll never catch up! Morons. Aaron "The Mad Whitaker" Bourque Current Mood: confused Current Music: Tax Man by The Beatles (Comment on this)

1:02 pm	I Got Myself A Job! Oh, man, I needed a job for the longest time. And after the move, I seriously needed a job. Seriously. And? Now I have one. It doesn't start for a couple of weeks, but after that, this is a job I could have long-term, with a company I could stay with for decades, if not the rest of my life. Is it the perfect job, what I want to do for the rest of my life? No, and no. But, it's not a terrible job, the pay's pretty damn good, and the bennies are excellent for an entry-level position (even for not an entry level position, the benefits are pretty damn good). And if I actually manage to make a stake, I could spend some if not all of my free time writing, and worrying less about how I'm going to eat tomorrow. This is a humongous weight off my back. I've got myself a job. Thank Christ. Aaron "The Mad Whitaker" Bourque; now I just need a girlfriend, and I'll be one step closer to standard adulthood!
