Of the 7 garbage bags of Magi-Nation cards khristle picked up for me, ONE has now been counted and sorted!

• 3,550 of the same 5 "Limited" cards (Nagasi's Sigil, Orwin's Ring, Rabbage, Bythan's Gift and Chayla)
• 350 "Animite" cards ov various values
• 16 unopenend packages of "Ringsmith/Tracker/Keeper" stickers (Naroom) with 25 strips of stickers in each pack.
• 75 loose sheets of said stickers
• 114 cards that AREN'T the 5 that I have gaxillions of
• 1 Foil Card ("Eclipse")

Now all i need to do is find out how to play this game or how to unload all these cards! Oh, and sort all the other garbage bags.

Friday Five

1. What job do you have, and why do you like/hate it? I do tech support for Comcast High-Speed internet. It is a sweet-and-sour job, with days where I'm ready to walk out and days I just can't wait to take another call. Very bi-polar, no grey area.

2. As a kid, what did you want to be when you "grew up?" Up until I was 10, all I wanted was to be a Chef. But then I saw my very first comic book store ("The Book Rack" in Oak Harbor, WA) and I knew I could never be anything else but a Comic Shop Owner.

3. Is the job you have now anything like what you imagined as a kid? Well I've got to admit that if I can't be a Comic Shop Owner, working for Comcast comes in a close second. I sit here and watch TV all night while playing on the internet, and they PAY me to do this! Only way it could be better is if they would drop the fascist "Pants are NOT optional" part of the dress code and made me taste-test fresh pizza all day long while we beta-test video games with young impressionable super-models.

4. Do you have a five-year career plan? Sort of... but it has nothing to do with Comcast ;P

5. In order to get the job of your dreams, is there anything you wouldn't do? Why? I would not eat a LIVE kitten. That's just gross.

Nerd Kids

Helped a kid named Peter tonight; Peter is 14. He spoke with the distinctive lisp that one can only get from a retainer.

I could hear his friends in the background watching Monty Python & The Holy Grail. One friend (who I just know was a "Jeremy" even though I didn't hear his name) was making martial-arts "Wshoo-PAH! Wshoo-PAH!" sounds that could only be accompanied with 14-year-old chest-level "Ninja Kicks". The other friend (Rodney?) was trying to get "Jeremy" to settle down and roll up a new character (accompanied by the tell-tale sound of real dice skittering across a coffee table). He was trying to explain Armor Class.

I like to imagine that Peter and his friends are sitting there in the basement/recroom with several bottles of Mountain Dew (which Jeremy is no longer allowed to drink any of because it makes him too hyper) and a CostCo-sized bag of Mini-Pretzels. They'll get their characters rolled, and Rodney would put on that kick-ass CD of Norwegian Death Metal that his brother gave him to "set the mood". Peter's Mom would then have to come down and tell them to turn it down, then they'd all get distracted and end up having a debate over which comic book Super Babe has the best rack.

There IS a new generation of My People! New ones being born every day! WE ARE IMMORTAL!!!
