It seems that somewhere along the line we skipped a few rungs on the social monkey bars. Rather than follow a leisurely path into our late twenties, we swung from the strobe-and-bass of the college scene directly into the geriatric world of free popcorn and pitchers of Blue. We are people of extremes.
This weekend, however, we decided to backtrack. So we dug deep into our pockets, washed the backs of our necks, ironed our shirts and entered into some more age-appropriate venues.
I was more than a bit scared, but I did learn a few things:
-Everyone is a little taller, a little thinner, a little cooler than you. And the girls will kick your ass, so don't even think about falling back on your "endearing" punkishness.
-People turn their noses up at smoking but drink suicidal volumes of alcohol.
-Complete disregard for personal space. ("Oh, was that your kidney? I'm sorry.")
-You will run into someone you barely knew in college. And you will make forced conversation.
-Blue lights are rampant. And unflattering. (Think Mum-Ra rather than Rankin and Bass.)
Oh, and keep a hold of your date. Because once you turn your back, there will be no distinguishing them from the sea of black-clad, martini sipping, sixty dollar haircuts.

I don't remember any of that at Fat Bob's...weird.
wow...that IS weird.
I know, hmmm chalk it up to another of the great mysteries of our time I guess. At any rate thought you'd be interested in this little piece of artwork form an upcoming PC game. http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/battleformiddleearth2/screens.html?page=7
glorfindel has blond hair.
Maybe it'll be like a platinum blonde? I thought the armor looked pretty tight though. Check out some of the other concept art on that screenshot index, it's pretty.
