The Tao of Zen Nihilism
This is not me. I answered questions that would disqualify me from this category. I should have shown up higher on the political spectrum and far more permissive on the social spectrum.
What’s more, friends of mine that I know to be Conservative have shown up as Liberal.
I call shenanegans.

Houses of the Blooded is back in stock at IPR!
The stock I sent them is already one quarter down, so I’ll be ordering more soon.
On a business note, this is a problem. It’s a good problem to have (I’m calling it "the Wii Problem") in that I can’t keep up with the sales of my new book. It’s a good problem to have, but it is a problem.
Meanwhile, writing on the first supplement, Slumming, is coming along better and faster than I expected. I’ll have an update on my video blog tomorrow.

(Need a sexier name for "Buildings," but it’ll do for now.)
Here are the Buildings for the City System so far, divided by their Influence Type. Need more Law, though.
Slumming: Servants, Peasants and City Scum is nearly ready for playtesting. One of the funnest parts of writing this book is the City Management System.
In other words: Influences that work.
I’m as giddy as a school girl.
On Friday, I’m throwing a birthday party for my dad. I’d like you to attend.
My dad is very shy and has a very few close friends. I’d like to get a bunch of folks together–at a bar or something–and have a great time. It’ll just be a casual get together. Nothing fancy. But my dad hasn’t had a bd party in a long time. I’d like him to be surrounded with good people wishing him well.
You’re invited. And bring your friends.
Friday. Someone suggest a location. I’ll confirm later this afternoon.
Cancel your plans. Please. I’d love a whole bar full of folks saying "Happy birthday!" to my dad. I’d consider it personal favor.
In Houses of the Blooded, country nobles build their domains from Farms, Plains, Mountains and other Regions.
With the Slumming rules, city nobles build their barrios with Taverns, Bordellos, Rookeries and other Buildings.
What Buildings should I add?
Here’s a list of the current Buildings. Note: They are far from finished. Really a working first list.
I didn’t watch much of The West Wing after Sorkin and Schlamme left, but I am a great admirer of Alan Alda, as a writer and as an actor and as a compassionate human being.
When he appeared as a candidate for President on the show, I began getting interested again. I own the collected DVDs and I’ve watched the three seasons without the A/S combo. By far, my favorite moments are with Alda front and center. I’m certain he had more than a little say in his character’s direction and dialogue.
And here is something we should be seeing in today’s political arena.
If only…
