Man there’s that post about tying a scarf in like a cool braided looking shape but none of my scarves are long enough to do that I feel like I just have like a folded baguette sticking out from my neck that is also choking me

Ten years after he said goodbye to Garak in the wake of the Dominion’s assault on Cardassia, Julian returns to the planet for a post and to see Garak. Well, to see if there’s anything there. He doesn’t want to have any regrets. 

Excerpt:

I was no longer sure that thinking of Garak was a self-destructive exercise. I’d stopped being sure of a lot of things. I’d seen a lot of patients die. I’d listened to a few tell me about their deathbed regrets. Most of those regrets had something to do with unconfessed love, and I began to fear that I would be telling one of those stories someday. I had seen a lot of deaths, and I had learned that some deaths are peaceful, even merciful. If I was going to die eventually (and I had decided that was a safe assumption) I wanted it to be one of those most peaceful deaths.

I made a list of all the things I wanted to do before I died. Garak’s name appeared on that list a lot.

“Funhouse dungeon” is a good term for an old style adventure with no logical “ecology”, just a series of rooms full of monsters with treasure, especially one with lots of traps and puzzles.  As Matt Colville points out, S2: White Plume Mountain is a classic example of of a funhouse with encounters designed as puzzles for the players as much or more than for their characters.  This room full of charmed monsters feels like it was designed by a committee of Bond villains, with alternating land and aquatic creatures in giant aquariums.  (David Sutherland illus. from S2 by Lawrence Schick, TSR, 1979)

This was Fluffums, she was very overweight. she died a little over a year ago unexpectedly. But I still think of her everyday, how much I love and miss her and how she mothered my lil baby cat. Some of her personality rubbed off on my little one
