Musical musings

A group called 'The Ataris' (real original guys...) has remade Don Henley's "Boys of Summer", changing one line... what, the reference to the Dead wasn't good enough for you?

Madonna's new video for "Hollywood": Damn, she topped herself for skanky looking. Didn't think that was possible.

Celine Dion new's video: Whoa... she doesn't even look human any more. I'm pretty sure that skin tone isn't possible naturally.

Oh, and just so it doesn't look like I'm slamming everything I've heard lately, I do seem to be the only person I know who likes Metallica's "St. Anger". Go fig. Lars may still be a dickhead in some ways, but they can still kick some ass when they want to.

A minor bitch about D&D 3.5

Okay, no, I haven't gotten my 3.5 books in yet, but I already know some of the stuff that's changing. I think my biggest problem are the "buff spells" like Bull's Strength, Cat's Grace, etc. They are going from a duration of 1 hour/level of the caster to 1 minute/level of the caster.

Okay, sure, it cuts down on the cheese of having a higher level caster keep the bonus on you all day long, but I picture way too many games (especially Living Greyhawk ones) with players either ceasing to use the spells altogether, or bugging the GM far too much with "The spell's still up, right?"

What were the clueless monkeys at WotC thinking?
