I'm Back

For the moment that is, and that's because it is taking longer than I expected to get B2Evolution set up. It's no WordPress, thank God, but then again it's no WordPress.

In other news I have learned...

I'm autistic. High functioning, but still

I have a hyperactive thyroid. Which means I get to be a meth head. Meth in this case being short for Methimazole; which is generic for Tapazole. The Meth also means I have to have my blood checked once a week and my doctor needs to watch to see if my eyes turn yellow.

This Meth also means that Warfarin is not safe for me, since both drugs are blood thinners and together may be more blood thinner than I can handle.

But I need a blood thinner thanks to afib. Or Atrial Fibrillation, a condition where the atrials and the ventricles are out of sync with the  atrials pumping faster than the latter. Which means that my heart will start beating too fast, and that puts me into emergency.

And the afib means in turn blood clots taking lodge in places that interfere with things, and to handle them I need a blood thinner.

And then on top of it all I have chronic bronchitis. The bad kidneys just add insult to injury.

My arthritic knees aren't really worth mentioning when you get right down to it.

And the bad news is, it seems I've had a hyperactive thyroid, the afib, the chronic bronchitis, and the bad kidneys since I was a kid. Being young hides so much.

But I shall survive, I'll shall produce, and I shall get my new site set up even if it kills me. And the last task means I have studying to do. The Singularity can't come too soon.

Another post coming, cuz I have things to say.

On Magic (Magick)

The magic we know is simply a matter of fooling people, through misdirection and the adept handling of materials. In effect our magic amounts to illusion and trickery. A matter of sleight of hand.

In contrast in any existence where magic as magic works, it has an effect. Not just a psychological effect, but a physical one. Following the lead of the late E. Gary Gygax I have decided to spell the word as "magick" to differentiate it from the stage magic that we know.

For my purposes I have decided to describe magick as; the ability to affect the world through the application of will. In a sense, wanting to create an effect through desiring it is pretty much how I see magick working.

But, always remember that there is more to the story. Probably the most important consideration is just how magick can be enacted, and that we'll consider in our next post on the subject.

Gotta Keep Busy

I'm not the type of person who can wait patiently, you can thank my aspergers for that. So while I wait for my account at HostMonster to be put back into shape, I'm now fretting and fussy and posting inconsequential stuff like this, just so I have something to do.

So I think I'll go look at the local paper's site and catch up on who won the recent elections.

And how are you keeping busy?

Having Trouble

Having trouble with my web host, so until they have matters straightened out I shall be posting here.

Greetings

This is a blog for the Dangerous Journeys system, and in due time the games Mythus, Unhallowed, Changeling, and others. It is, I hope, a blog for the revision of DJ and its games. More to come when I have more.
