Fred Hicks on having people say mean things about your RPG on the internet: " When the expression is negative, that's a many-versus-one scenario -- at best, it just feels like being ganged up on, and at worst, if feels like a lynch mob."

*BZZT!* total fail.

This is just a stray thought from months ago.

There was a student project at the UW where they had lists of all the people who were lynched in Washington State, their names, their race, their age. They read them out loud at one point, I think, but they also had them in big binders on the quad.

I just remember that half of the Chinese men were listed as "name unknown." How fucked up is that? To kill someone in a mock trial and execution and not even know his name. It gave me chills. Still does, actually.

My razorblades rusted.

The store did not have my style of razorblade. Have to decide between dull razor shaving for the rest of the summer, taking my chances with the rust, or getting some sort of new razor. The incredibly cute salesgirl almost sold me on a new 6 blade razor, but that's just because she was incredibly cute.

Thoughts?

P.S. to Lesley. Beards are not an option in 90° heat.

I have a new housemate. He's from a rich Chinese immigrant family out of Vancouver, here making business contacts for his dad's medical laser importing business and visiting his girlfriend. He's nice, very friendly and open and cool, but very much 19 years old.

I also went to the Carrefour (think Target but more upperclass) today. Thus:

I have new socks. They're low heeled so I can wear them with shorts without looking like a giant dork. They're remarkably comfy.

I have new underwear. Uh, I won't go into details 'cause that seems like TMI but it's a style I haven't worn in years, and it feels remarkably comfortable.

I have new sandals. They're pretty uncomfortable, but they were cheap. They are not made for:
1) Someone who has feet as wide as mine.
2) Someone who has arches as low as mine.
3) Someone who has hair on their feet.

They might be better with socks. Here's hoping.
