Last night MrTheMan and I watched Kill Bill Vol. 1. The last third really needs a new title: night of a million billion ninjas. Sooooo many ninjas! Well, okay, they were yakuza, really. Dammit, I say ninjas.

Still working over what I think of the movie. I definitely enjoyed it, but I'm waiting to see the second half before I know if it's really _good_. There are many movies which are good, but which I didn't enjoy, and vice versa. Example: Requiem for a Dream. Amazing movie. Incredible. Really, really don't want to see it again anytime soon. Or Dracula. Lots of fun and I love watching it, but I'm aware of its flaws.

Running Orb game tonight...I have to make exit plans for two characters whose players are going to be elsewhere for school! Sigh. And "anvil outta nowhere" won't work.

Raining Anvils

Ah, but an Anvil outta nowhere might work well.

On the other hand, that joke really only makes any sense at all if you read M's story hour. And that can be quite time consuming. So feel free to ignore, unless you want to read some really good writing about a fun campaign.

Speaking of ninjas, there's always... Supplies!!!

On a [slightly] more serious note, good luck with character exit, it's tricky.

Okay, honestly, my first thought when I read "Running Orb game tonight" was "Emily plays soccer?"

Yeah, I get it now. But MAN, was I confused.

Hit on the head by a rock...

Let's see, I've used:

==Fallen overboard, presumed dead
==Off training with ghost master
==Hit on the head by a rock
==Out sick
==Holding down the fort. base. etc
==Magically asleep
==Sucked into another dimension

My favorite is to have something really untoward happen and turn it into a one-shot, but that's only for folks that tried really hard to make it and still couldn't.
