i stopped at pier 1 to see if they had anything cool for my new house. and they didn’t. because i didn’t want to pay $80 for this cool CD holder that was extremely, very, really poorly made. all of their furniture is shit. it looks cool. but it’s like it’s all been made by people who can’t measure things or screw in things or glue things. what is up with that? everything wobbles! and all the doors and drawers are too hard to open! and then they’re too hard to close! and on top of that it’s expensive!

Dear Pier 1 Imports,

Hello? It’s called craftsmanship.

Love,

i really don’t have a problem with spending money on things that at least seem like they’re going to last. case in point: my computer desk thing.

anyway, my tale is not actually of Pier 1. y’see, i’ve been thinking about getting my own D&D dice. because when we played before no one ever wanted me to touch their dice because my dice rolling is usually quite horrid. they say that i’m cursed. and so, i’ve been thinking about getting my own. but where?

i was going to get some (perv) while i was in TN last weekend because i figured it being a college town it would have a comic/game store type deal. but i never got a chance to go to the one i found in the phone book. but today, across from the pier 1, was this place called Kingdom Comics.
“huh,” i thought, “sounds like some kind of christian comic book or something.”
anyhoo, i got brave and walked in.
and at first i didn’t see any dice. but then on my way out i saw some by the register. it was just a random selection and i thought they would be expensive (for some reason) but no! they were cheap! i guess anyway. the 20-sided one was .55 and the others were a quarter each.

so i picked some out but was all, “well, hells bells. i don’t even know if these are right.” so i asked the dude/dudette (i couldn’t tell) if those were the proper ones for D&D or what and he/she said, “i don’t know. i’m the comic person. i don’t know D&D.” and i’m thinking, “well, thanks for nothing, pat.” but then there was this geek standing close by and i said, “hey, do you know about dice?” and he did. and so now i have dice!

i know. i know. this has been so lame hasn’t it? i should’ve just posted a pic of the cat, or no! i NEED to take a picture of that goddamned fish “pond”.
