As you all know, geekboys and -girls (especially girls), "The Chronicles of Riddick" opened up last night... I guess I'll go see it... if i HAVE to... *sigh*. I suppose it's my duty as the Queen of the Geeks to go and just be sure that it's up to par, right?
Riiiiiiiiggghhhhht. :D
Y'all are probably all shocked that I didn't go last night, but we had Chris' family b'day dinner at Outback, and tonight he has to work, so we're going tomorrow night. YAY!!!! :D :D :D
Stewart sent me this great interview, and as we are gearing up BIGTime for con - plotting and planning LOTS of fun uber-nerd activities* - and also starting up our own D&D campaign again, finally, I thought I would share just one excerpt from this lovely man's lovely interview:

"Diesel is that rare breed of Hollywood star, one that tries not to take himself too seriously as a star, but as an actor, well that is a horse of an entirely different colour. This is a man who was brought up on a world of fantasy, and, like a grown-up child, sparkles at the very mention of one of his primary influences: Dungeons and Dragons. Or perhaps, one questions, it was just a rumour that Dungeons has spoken to the child within for some two decades. He rolls back on his chair and merely smiles. "I never play D&D," he begins with mock seriousness. "For some reason, they thought that I played D&D for 20 years. They thought that I spent years playing Barbarians**, Witchunters the Arcanum. They thought I still played D&D back in the '70s when it's just the basic D&D set. They thought I continued to play D&D when it became Advanced Dungeons and Dragons. They thought I played D&D when there were only three books - the Player's Handbook, and the DM's Guide. They thought I played D&D as it continued onto the Unearthed Arcanum, Oriental Adventures, Sea Adventures, and Wilderness Adventures. They thought I played D&D at the time when Deities and Demigods*** was the brand new book. They thought I played D&D when I used to get up to a place called The Complete Strategist in New York." We get the point as he smilingly mouths: I'm into D&D a lot****. "It was a training ground for a lot of my adventures."

Y'all KNOW he wants me, right?
Sorry about all the photos, but you know I just can't resist. I found it interesting that this particular magazine cover had both "The Next Big Thing**" and "Greatest Show on Earth***" (quite interestingly placed) on the cover...
*sigh*
Go see 'Chronicles' (and all the other great nerd-films coming out this summer - Harry Potter III was by FAR the best HP yet! WOW!), dust off your DM screen, get out your dice, and GEEK OUT! Hope to see you ALL at con! SHARKBAIT, OOHAHA!
MUCH love,
-sambolina 'pie QotG!


*"SHARKBAIT! OOHAHA!" heh heh heh...
**it's ok, i'm ok, i'll be fine... just let me get up off the floor...
***, no really, i'm fine. i'll be fine.

****on behalf of the Geeks of the world, we thank you, Vin. *MWAH!* xoxoxoxox
