“Hey, you know the two categories that are the most basic elements of filmmaking? Yeah. Fuck those.” 

Ugh.  A gym full of dudes with a 6 Charisma.

And at the most...?

I think I stopped in there once, but never substantially. I’ve honestly never really understood gaming in public spaces; I’ve always just played games at people’s houses or apartments. But I get that not everyone can accommodate that.

Haha, yeah, shit on other people! Fuck those guys! They live in a PLACE!

It could do well here. The Indianapolis market is absolutely saturated with game stores currently, but having beer on hand could certainly be helpful. This location will be right between two others game stores within a pretty short distance, though.

Picked up Black Leopard, Red Wolf a few days ago and absolutely love it. The world, characters, and style of storytelling are all so unique to fantasy and it’s so refreshing to get out of the euro-centric space for anything in that genre.

Fuschia Dunlop, a British woman who writes Chinese cookbooks is 100% an Agatha Christie character. 

I have no idea if this was intentional but in Paradise Lost after humanity has fallen the archangel Michael shows Adam visions of the future history of the world and hints at humanity’s eventual redemption.  There’s a nice sort of parallel with Michael showing Eleanor her own alternate pasts with Chidi and ending with

Because men can’t take rejection. I have worked in the alcohol industry and have spent A LOT of time in bars, usually on my own for one reason or another. Men hit on me all the time regardless of how cute/hagtastic I looked. They’d send over drinks. They’d sit *right* next to me, despite 15 open seats at the bar.
