Month: June 2006

There’s been more than a bit of communications issues among people recently. This post has grown out of something that I was thinking about, and, rather than leave it hanging out there, with the potential for causing issues later, I decided to get this out in the open….and not targeted at any one specific person. Just something that I feel needs to be on the table.

I’m an attention-whore. We all know this. I enjoy being flirted with…I love the game, I love the attention, I love what Eddie Izzard calls the “flirty-flirty, swimmy-swimmy, splashy-splashy.”

That said, if you want to play, play nice. Please respect my partner.

Flirting and playing with me, while completely ignoring her presence? Not cool. Not a way to get on my good side….or hers.

If you want a relationship with me, you also have a relationship with my partner. It doesn’t have to be the same relationship, but there at least needs to be one. That’s only right.

Like I said — this isn’t targeted at any one specific person. I just wanted to have it known. is a wonderful partner, who is cool with how I want to be….and I’d rather not see her ever get hurt for being that open.

The US Military considered a “Gay Bomb” which would make enemy combatants sexually irresistable to eachother.

This, of course, would have the added benefit of making the enemy too busy sculpting their rock-hard bodies in the gym to fight us.

and I caught Look, Up In The Sky: The Amazing Story of Superman on A&E last night. It’s the Kevin Burns documentary about the Man of Steel, which will be released on DVD at the end of this month.

Wow, was that cool. Covering the history of the character from the earliest drafts by Siegel and Schuster to the current film, it’s a treat to watch. I had no idea how much of the mythology came from sources outside of the comics (for example, it was the radio show in the 1940s that changed the name of the newspaper to the Daily Planet, created the character of Perry White, and changed Superman’s ability to leap into true flight…..and it was the movie serials that created the character of Luthor).

With all of the superhero stuff that has been swirling around me recently, I am really chomping at the bit to run a Mutants & Masterminds campaign.
