Hey guys. I’m looking for a hand-and-a-half saber used in the Netherlands or thereabouts. Kind of like a European version of the katana. I forget what it’s called. Can anyone help?
For Greg
Despite the fact I can be as pleasant as a vasectomy, she always smiled and bounced and hugged me when she saw me. At LARPs, she always went out of her way to engage my character. I did not know her well, but I knew her well enough to feel all the weight in my body sink to my shoes.
We all have flaws. We all have problems. Most of them are invisible to the majority of the people we know. Only those closest to us get to see them. For me, all I ever saw was a girl who embodied John Kovalic’s “Perky Goth” right down to her spiked heels.
I’m very sorry, Greg. I wish I could do more.

It’s April Fool’s Day!
May as well do something foolish…
Rick Flair’s Last Match
Tonight is Wrestlemania and all the whispers say tonight will probably be Rick Flair’s last match.
(As far as last matches in pro wrestling go.)
He’ll be wrestling Sean Micheals, so you know it’s gonna be a hot match.
I’ll be ordering it. Come on by if you’re interested.
Secret: Angels and Demons
Angels are creatures of Light. Pure intellect. Reason.
Demons are creatures of Darkness. Pure emotion. Passion.
I am most fond of the Islamic myth of Satan’s fall. It is said that Lucifer was God’s best beloved. Lucifer loved God and that love was returned. So great was Lucifer’s love, it eclipsed all of Creation.
When God made Man, he told his Angels, “You will serve Man, and you will love him as you love me.”
But Lucifer said, “I only love you. I can love no other.”
And that is why Lucifer fell. His disobedience was not out of pride, but love. And the only comfort he has in Hell is the echo of the voice of the one he loved the most telling him, “Be gone from my sight.”
What if angels were once creatures of Light and Darkness? What if they were creations of Logic and Emotion?
And what if, upon their disobedience, God split them in two; separated the Intellect from the Emotion? Making them divided creatures who could not turn against him again?
Sun’s pure Reason and Moon’s pure Emotion, forever divided, only gaining a momentary glance at dusk and sunrise.
Each and every demon is part of a divided whole.
Each and every angel is part of a divided whole.
Lucifer, the Light-Bringer.
Gabriel, the Messenger with the Sword of Fire.
Eternally divided. Eternally alone.

For My Mac Enabled Friends
I have a MacBook Pro and a Mac Mini. I want to use the Mac Mini as a second hard drive. You know, be able to access everything from my MacBook.
Is that possible? If so, can someone provide a step-by-step process?
A Perfect Film
The last line always makes me catch my breath, always puts a knot in my throat, always brings a little tear to me eye. From the first moment I saw it, no other words in any language could express love better.
I think The Princess Bride may be a Perfect Film.
(Which, is to say, not The Greatest Movie Ever Made. That’s something else entirely.)
