Things I think I know

Realizations I’ve had over the past year or so that I suspect are true, but don’t really understand yet:

• Magic is a form of parallel processing.
• Gods are languages.
• Selves are stories.

RPG bumper stickers

Call of Cthulhu

If you can read this, lose 1d6 SAN.

Champions

My other car is an Obvious Inaccessable Focus.

GURPS

Honk if you love Jesus. Defaults to other Abrahamic religion at -10 decibels. +5 if driving in Bible belt. See sidebar on left fender.

Amber

If you can read this, you’re following me through Shadow.

Nobilis

The Embodiment of Copiloting is my copilot.

Signs

I just saw Signs, the new M. Night Shyamalan movie. On a technical level, it’s beautiful. He puts together some great images, does really cool things with sound, and cuts back and forth between tension and humor (and there’s quite a bit of humor) amazingly well. Those are the good bits.

On the bad side, there’s the plot. Oh, man, this is a deeply irrational movie, in ways I can’t describe without giving things away. Ack.
