Fin's Wrong Ideas

In two weeks I test for a green belt in Taekwondo. I have some trepidation about this because at green the sparring starts. While I totally enjoy learning the forms and sparring stances, I don’t know how I feel about actually trying to hit someone. I played soccer when I was younger and even though they say it’s not a contact sport it required a certain amount of physicality. Playing soccer had some pushing and shoving and tripping….Taekwondo is actually the art of striking with the hands and the feet. So we’ll see.

I’m really diggin’ the Old Man Logan series in the Marvel series ‘Wolverine‘. It’s been awhile since any of the x-books have interested me. I used to collect them avidly until the movies came out and created a ton of spin-offs. I didn’t have the time or the money to spend on them so I gave them up. I just started getting the current x-books via a retailer that gives me the retail cost on comics and so far I’ve been pretty happy with the new story line in Wolverine.

I want to pick up the Deadlands RPG, but am unsure of weather to pick up the old edition or the reloaded edition. I hear (via amazon reviews) that the new books is prettier and more consolidated..that it’s missing some of the ‘feel’ of the original.
