And now for something completly different.

I have come to the conclution that the purpose of life is to perpetuate itself(I'm smart aren't I). Thus, good is that which aides in survival. To an animal good is relatively easy to determine. In humans it is more difficult. Humans cooperate to survive. Therefore, ethics are good in that they aid in cooperation. Theoreticly one can determine if something is good or not by asking a few questions. Does this help me to survive? Does it help my family to survive? Does it help my city/nation/tribe to survive? Does it help my species to survive? Ultimately, does this aide Life? To determine evil, as the inverse questions. Thats what I think anyway.

This is an excellent day.

In the library I have found copies of Elegy for a Lost Star by Elizabeth Haydon, Emerald Sea by John Ringo, and Going Postal by Terry Pratchett. Not to mention the Golden Torc by Julian May and Dead to the World by Charlaine Harris. Exxxxxxxxcellent!

There are four ways that an undead creature can feed upon the living: flesh, blood, sex, and death. A newly risen undead will need one or more of these things. A more experienced undead will be able to feed with variations on these or at a distance, but the basic forms must be followed.
The shapeshifter known as the Death Peddler for instance often takes an enormous form and eats his victims whole, and thus feeds on their agony,their flesh and blood, and finaly their deaths. It is said that he captures the souls of his victims and feeds on them as well. That would be a variant of death feeding.
Other undead can feed without seriously harming their victims. The undead known as the Burning Lady can walk through a crowd and the only sign that she has fed will likely be dismissed as sun burn by her victims, if they notice at all.

The head or the heart?

I think an undead creature that eats the hearts of the living would be somewhat less repulsive than one who eats the brains so that is what Necranax will do. I am trying to make him the hero of the story.

My cousin is an assasin.

She is seven years old and tried to drive me into cardiac arrest.
Her parents own a trampoline and she goaded me into jumping on it with her. I'm easily lead. Once on the trampoline she demanded that I jump as she directed, to help her perform tricks.
"Jump higher! Higher! Not that high! Stop! Start jumping again!"
This was under the mid-day sun in California, you understand. After about an hour of this, she tells me to get off the trampoline so that she can try some different tricks. I readily oblige only to discover that their family dog Cody (young in years, but ancient in malice) was also in the yard. Besides defecating all over the yard, he had the charming habit of play-bitting. Constantly. From all directions. Under continuous attack, I made my way to the base of a tree and sat down. This gave me shade, limited the directions from which Cody could attack, brought me to a more effective elevation to battle him, and gave me a chance to rest my legs. Soon enough I was called back to the trampoline. All in all, I spent about four hours on that trampoline.
If she spends that much time on the trampoline every day, she's going to grow up with legs like a kangaroo.
I have to say that this was the most fun day of my vacation. I must be some weird kind of masochist. I have sore muscles that I was never even aware of before.

I've got access to a computer so I might as well use it.

I was attracted to Legacy of Kain because of the story. I played through Soul Reaver 2 so I could see what happens next. Certainly not for the indiffernt gameplay. I do enjoy playing as a monster though. LoK Defiance looks like it has the best of both worlds.

I just went game and book shopping. Excuse me, while I gloat over my new riches.

I wonder how long it would take a mystic to transmute their own blood into a sword? It would probobly require a lot of blood. Ten years might be enough.

Giant, magic, blood-drinking spiders probobly would produce amazing silk.

Soul Reaver 2 has an excellent story and so-so gameplay.

I will locate Disgaia: Hour of Darkness.

In fiction I tend toward a unified explanation of magic.

I wonder if there is anywhere near Sterling that teaches Kendo?

Good to be back

I find myself a fan of Inuyasha. I resently got a dish and while basking in the multitude of channels came across Inuyasha on the Cartoon Network. The show was half over and I couldn't figure out what the setting was, but it looked interesting so I remembered when it came on. The next night the story was not continued. Instead the show's first episode was played and I was hooked.
During one episode of the show somehow mustaches and beards were drawn on all the charaters. Not as part of the show, but added later. A goatee would sit in the middle of the screen untill a charater's face moved to intercept it. I felt amusement at the absurdity and anger at the disruption similtaniusly. It is an odd feeling to be laughing histericly while shaking a fist with rage.

I have taken a 2 week vacation. My mom and I have driven down to Buckeye, Arizona and then up to Victorville, California. I am fairly well entertained, and my mom seems to be really enjoying herself.
Work on my story procedes in fits and starts. I think I have a few proto-hero's taking form. The world around them is still quite nebulous.
I have been buying games for the PS2. Mainly RPG's, a few adventure, and GTA3.

Memories

While shuffling my furniture I found my Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Pizza Thrower. I remember staying at a classmate's house when we were seven and helping him dig pit traps for his older sister. I suggested filling the bottom of the pit with sharpened popsicle sticks but he vetoed the idea. Looking back I realize that it was fortunate that I am an only child.

Have you ever had to blow your nose so often you give up on the trash can and use the floor? Now that I am well again I feel like the guy who sweeps up empty cans after a big party. At least I know that they're all mine, even if I wasn't having any fun. Well, not much fun any way. I remember Heinlein writing of his vacation in Russia being enjoyable in the same sense hitting yourself in the face with a hammer is. It feels so good when you stop.

If Sohrmuat who come directly from Elsewhere are able to pass the traits of consumed creatures on to their offspring, why do the offspring not have this ability? Because I value stability.

I have had a job delievering furniture for the past year. It is unfortunate the number of times one can be struck in the face while moving queen size boxsprings in a hurry. Much damage to the glasses. Quite some time for reading while sitting in the truck, however. Balance in all things.

Chimaera

Now my glasses have a name. They contain components from at least four pairs of glasses now, so it seemed appropriate. It has a better sound than Frankenstien's glasses, and is shorter than the Glasses Containing Parts Salavaged From Multiple Pairs of Glasses. As far a acronyms go, saying GCPSFMG would make people think I was choking to death. Not that I ever intend to say any of this out loud.

Still, naming my glasses seems like the first step along the path of becoming the masculine version of a woman who keeps dozens of cats. Some thing must be wrong with that sentence. Oh well.

I recently discovered that I am an atheist. This is a disturbing realization to make at a funeral. I seem to believe the world would be a better place without religon. I have no intention to make it a better place by unconverting people, however. That would be going too far toward making the mistake many religons make. In my opinion. Hurmph.

Sentimentality fluxuates. I am more stable now however. It has been awhile.

Periodicly.

I have noted with some concern that the slight sentimental streak I have taken pains to conceal is widening. On the drive home I began to cry while listen to the song Where've You Been(I'm Just Not Myself While You're Away). Not bawling mind you. Tears ran down my face but I doubt my expression changed. A the time I thought I was an aberation. But some time later, while watching the movie Spiderman, it happened again. Fortunately the theater was realativly empty. Strange. Disturbing. I mean the song was understandable if I was in an unusualy empathetic mood. But Spiderman?!

I have returned.

Have you seen Dead Alive? It is the goriest movie I have ever seen. It makes the explodeing prostitues in Franken-Hooker seem understated. I loved it.

Blood on the water I sing,
And one who shed it.
Deadliest hunger I sing,
And one who fed it.
The is the Sea's greatest shame,
This is all the Sea's glory,
This is the Song of the Twelve,
Hark to the Story.

One of the things I've been trying to do with my story is to not use any traditional monsters. Sadly, I desided that after I wrote my first story. I suppose I'll need to re-write it with that in mind. Too bad, I like werewolves.

Twice dawns the day when his blood is shed,
Once for morning, once for birth.
Red on black, his blood stains the rock of Shayol Gul,

"Please, think of the kittens." Two thoughts. How do the ninjas know and how do they find that many kittens? Ancient ninja magic I suppose.

Makes me glad I'm agnostic.

A comparison between the Cult of Mithras and Christianity is intersting. The forms of modern Christianity seem to have a lot more to do with the Cult of Mithras than with early Christianity.
