    Did the authors write in Spanish, have there work translated to English, or just Chicana literature? I ask since I took a Spanish literature class and am taking another this spring. I really liked it, all but two of the novellas were in Spanish, and the others were Chicana Literature.
  2. Go drink the water from the tap in Santiago Chile. You can drink it and it is clean but unless you are used to it you will get sick for a bit. You can smell the chlorine in the water every time you turn on the tap. but the fact is the water is drinkable. Something we often do not think of as a luxury.

  3. So, I am rather late into the podcast world and have just started listening to a few free podcasts off of iTunes. So for I listen to Today in the Past, APR Prairie Home Companion, CBC Wiretap, and NPR Wait wait don't tell me.

     

    Since I'm late to the world of podcasts I was hoping some of you could refer some free podcasts that you enjoy. Just so you know I listen to podcasts when I walk to and from class. Thanks in advance.

  4. I see the change now. I had to refreshen my page for it to show up. The new look seems more adventurey and less formal then it was before. Also, the tabs have moved on the screen I believe. Same order as before but they all moved up a little.

  5. Not all things which need fixing are problems.

     

    I still have a custom title on my alt account. Just knowing that its there is reason enough for me not to want a title on this account. It also scares me into not logging into that account for fear of being title sniped.

  6. Teabagging and steeping tea are not the same thing. I never steeped tea while playing Halo after getting a headshot. But I guess someone could steep tea in that case.

  7. That one guy dancing happened at the 2009 sasquatch festival this year out at the gorge. The band line ups this year were not as good as in years past.

     

    EDIT: At least there was not as much rain as there was in 2008, sunshine was nice.

  8. Would it be possible to make a gunslinger type of character? What kind of technology would be found in this world? Is magic a common place thing or rare, or is magic nothing more then a trick of light and quick hands at cards?

     

    If the world is one were the Labyrinth players reside then magic is found but is not common. There will be hat sales men and axes that work backwards. Healers and as Eph has said, druids. Altho I am not sure what I druid would be able to do, talk with squirrels and find where they hid the nuts for the winter?

     

    I imagine horses can be found here and are used for work more then war. Steam power might possible but with magic perhaps other more efficient means are available.

     

    Looking at the map agriculture might be the largest form of work for people. As to if they own the land they farm or if they are serfs I have no way of telling. By the clusters of towns or villages I would guess bronze and iron are workable mettles and that maybe steel but rarely. People would build towns around blacksmiths, tanners, and other tradesmen. Blacksmiths are a little more permanent because anvils and smithing tools weigh more then one can carry on his back.

     

    Just some of my thought after looking at the map and some questions as to what what the state of this world might be that cannot be guessed at from the map.

     

    EDIT: After looking at the map again I am starting to think that the land masses are a bunch of small islands. That would change game play a lot. I need to go play Zelda: Wind-waker some more if they are all island. But having a talking boat would be the coolest thing.

    Its good that you are a young vibrant chap then.
  10. Mushroom Buddies is very nice quality and framed well also. Colors are very balanced and nothing is overpowering or over bearing. I would recommend entering that picture in the county fair or state fair and see how it does.

  11. As for batteries, I use Energizer Ultimate Lithium +AA. I turn off the mouse when I am not using the computer. I replace that batteries maybe once every 5 or 6 months.

     

    The technology in batteries have come very far in my life time. If I was using the same kind of batteries I used in my gameboy (the original) they would last about 1 maybe 2 days as most. These advances are very subtle to see at the moment but compared to many or a few years back they are quite significant.
