Myriad Bits of News

  I purchased the latest edition of the Paranoia roleplaying game recently along with the More [Redacted] Societies and Mutant Explosion decks, interactive GM screen and a set of four Computer dice. Having read the Players' and GM's books, this edition is quite a bit different from other editions of Paranoia I have. I want to try to get into some Paranoia sessions at Gen Con so I can get a feel for how this edition plays.

  Events go online May 6th at 11:00 am CST. I'd like to get into some Firefly and Paranoia events but that could prove difficult. Those events fill up fast. Even if I create my wish list ahead of time and submit it as soon as possible, I could still end up way back in line. I've shunted more money into my Simple and Serve accounts giving me a grand total of $1,649.00 for the convention. I'm going to continue to add money to these accounts between now and August. I'm still making sizable payments on my credit card while adding as little as possible to it. Barring any unforeseen financial problems, I should be sitting pretty by the time Gen Con rolls around.

  I've been filling out my power of attorney documents. I've given it to my Mom, niece and her husband. I still have to complete the document and sign it in the presence of two witnesses who must also sign the document. They can't be related to me by blood, marriage or adoption. I'll try and get two members of my gaming group to act as witnesses.
  On the Trump front, our Dipshit in Chief has proven to be as spineless as the rest of the GOP when it comes to the NRA. After claiming that his fellow Republicans were afraid of the NRA, Trump backed down on his call for raising the age limit to buy assault rifles to 21 and having more extensive background checks on gun purchases. It seems the only things this motherfucking prick stands firm on is lining his own pockets, giving more money to the rich and aggrandizing himself at every possible moment.
