| I discovered that Australia has an equivalent of America's Netflix, in Quickflix. I then discovered that I've already seen about 90% of their martial arts section, and the rest sound (even more) dreadful, apart from Tongan Ninja. On my way back from my martial arts class, a fat businessman on the bus made a cross with his fingers at me. When I looked appropriately bemused and affronted at him, he said "sorry, I thought you might be Dracula." He must have been watching extremely low-budget vampire movies. My Vampires game now has a Java-based chat client, connecting to my own custom server, which is partly for its own sake and partly testing the server code which is intended for several other uses too. It seems to be mostly functioning as desired, bar a few additional features it could do with. This post has been brought to you by the lost art of the seamless segue, and by the fact that I forgot to take my camera with me so couldn't post pictures of the fantastic tram with 50's action movie font on its front, or the giant blood-spewing shrine to demonology with a happy white christmas tree next to it, in Adelaide (in Victoria square at about 8pm, when you're walking towards the city from the end of the Glenelg tram line, if any Adelaidians want to go and get a picture of it).

| gah I hate it when I can't remember the key code for a symbol, and am feeling far to lazy to look it up. Otherwise raven would be looking at a cross to ward him off of his own blog whcih might be interesting. we'd see weather or not the low budget vamp movies are right. Notice raven actually started a conversation with this random stranger rather than just ignoring them which kinda point to the sign of the cross having some sort of effect on him. Not totally sure what the chat function will do for the vampire game, then again I haven't even logged into it in over a year wonder if raven deletes characters on there. I wonder if I remembered not to clear that cookie. (I think that when I did play it for a week that I set the adress on my don't remove cookies from here, depends once again alot on laziness.) |

| Er, *I* started a conversation? All I did was an expression. He did the finger-thing and an expression first, and spoke. I don't think that's me starting a conversation. |

| You could have left it as a purely symbolic conversation. He forms his fingers into a 'cross'. You flip him your middle finger. He shakes his fist (or fists) at you. You bite your thumb at him, whilst turning away. Conversation over. |

| Or just bite *his* thumb off. |

| cetainly had you turned and fled at the sign of the cross he wouldn't have spoken. You not ignoring him or fleeing started interaction before for that he was merely acting. |
