Cupcake gave me velvet as my topic for the day. And, my brain just
shorted out. This early in the blog post is probably a bad sign. I’m just not
sure about it though. I did decide to write the post in red ink though,
comparing it somewhat to a red velvet cake. And, yeah, cake is the first thing that
comes to mind when I hear the word velvet.
I know velvet is a type of fabric, a very soft fabric with a nice
smooth feel to it. On the outside at least. I’ve always found the inside of the
garment to be itchy and unpleasant. And, I think it looks like of like a very miniature
type of carpet with little threads standing up off of it like fur. I could be
thinking of a different type of fabric altogether.
What else is there to say?
I think I’ve heard the phrase “an iron fist in a velvet glove” or something
along those lines. Interpreted I believe this you can be a dictator, but don’t
be a dick about it. And, I’ve sort of taken that to heart. Not that I’m a
dictator or anything (my dnd group might say differently), but in the creation
of a villain for one of my stories.
His name is Malak of Thrace and he’s everybody’s favorite dictator. He
was the last king of Atlantis and came to power much the same way Ceasar took Rome.
The public loved him, couldn’t get enough of him, and though he was very
charismatic his mortal form was designed to look weak and submissive.
Naturally, it was a disguise that suited his purposes. And, through all the smoke
and mirrors he used, things were going to hell. He was single handedly
responsible for the eradication of the dwarven race (at least in our world) and…
I’m handing out plot bunnies again.
Damnit.
So, back to velvet. Red velvet. I want cake. But, that means I’d have
to get up, drive all the way out to walmart, get the cake mix, drive back, mix
it, bake it, and let it cool, and that just sounds like too much work. I would
greatly appreciate it.
But, what else was I talking about?
I don’t know.
My brain sort of turned off again.
It dose that from time to time, which is probably…
I did it again.
There might have been some mention of my DnD game as that is what seems
to be missing from this post.
My players pointed out yesterday how close my monster choices are to
minecraft. It was funny, and it made me a bit cranky at the same time. There
aren’t a lot of monster options when your PCs are first level. I guess I’ll
just have to throw them up against an Umber Hulk next.
Try to connect that to minecraft :P
