The time has come, I think, to step away from the main ring here in Hoo'd Win, and visit the auxilliary stages, where the second bananas of the fantastic universe battle for supremacy.

In the corner to my left stands Dr. Byron Orpheus, necromancer, single father and tenant. He is a master of the mystic arts, and maintains a business offering a specialized form of life insurance (don't miss a payment!). Along with his companions, Jefferson Twilight and The Alchemist, he forms the Order of the Triad.

In the right corner hovers Mentok, the Mind Taker. A former supervillain, he now imposes order as a judge in a major metropolitan city. He posseses great mental powers, primarily predicated around taking minds which he displays in little racks not unlike a collection of ceramic thimbles.

Both these masters of Mentalism and Mysticism keep the bench warm for the real stars, but we all know there's no small roles, just small actors. So!

Whose mind will be made up? Who shall dominate, and who shall be enthralled? You! MAKE! THE! Call.

So, last night was the third meeting for the Toronto Terry Pratchett meetup. I appear to have turned into the old man of the group (GUCKING FREIGHT), and am apparently the only one who's read all the Discworld books. The theme for the night was the Patrician, and we discussed his origins (both as a character and as a concept) and how much we like him.

Plans were also made for a holiday meeting to watch Hogfather (I'm gonna cook summat from Nanny Ogg's cookbook), and the next meeting will be a discussion of the Witches books because, hey, Halloween.

It was fun. It looks like we'll meet at Free Times cafe again next month, but I was angling to move over to Rancho Relaxo (the soup, man! I need the soup!).

Feh. Game is on tonight, which is good.

Cynra & I watched the pilot of The Mentalist last night. It was interesting, although I'd like a little more curtain pulling on occasion. How did he know the woman loved India, for example, or that his partner was the daughter of a football coach? The final scene was a bit much, too, but at least you knew why he was having trouble sleeping.

If we're lucky, Adult Swim themed Hoo'd Win today. Or possibly tomorrow.

Two things:

A) American Apparel, in spite of their incredibly erotic disturbing ads, makes nice t-shirts.

B) I didn't think that the Sgt. Hatred shirt would be so awesome, but it is.

Pix to come.
