Urban Vinyl
Like I need another hobby. And yet, it found me. The strange and marvelous world of urban vinyl/designer toys has grasped me by the uvula and won’t let go. I’ve never really succumbed to the Collector Ailment, and I’ve long suspected that I lack the defective gene, but we shall see. Two Knucklebear Qees, two Fire Water Bunnies, Two Funny Club DIYs, and miscellaneous others have not slaked my thirst for these splendid little things. The best of them are intoxicating dollops of brilliant design, postmodern polychromed micro-idols to a pantheon of hipster artists. I fear I am lost.
What’s Up with the Evil Races?
I remember flipping through a shiny new roleplaying game when it came out in 1989 and seeing an illustration spread labeled “The Evil Races.” It had lovely renderings of orcs, trolls, goblins, and ogres, giving rise to the following chain of questions in my tiny brain:
Why do there have to be “Evil” races? Doesn’t evil exist more at the levels of actions, individuals, institutions etc., making it foolish to call a whole race “evil?”
Further:
Why “races?” Why not species? Are we to believe that elves and ogres differ only in “race” but are the same species, capable of interbreeding? Yikes. There must be some reason the term “race” is always used in these things.
5 commentsGreetings from 25 Light Years away
For about a year I’ve been consuming egg and dairy products for the sake of convenience. My wife and daughter are lacto-ovo vegetarians, and I was getting tired of cooking two dinners every night. So I’ve followed the lazy and more-cruelty-laden path of lacto-ovo-ism.
But before that, I was from a planet orbiting the star Vega, apparently.
Yes, this is a rant.
