Ravings of the Semi-Lucid

So I was looking at a list of student clubs at JCCC and ran across the following:

The Twice Honorable Association of Collegiate Opportunists (T.H.A.C.O.)
The association will create and foster friendships though activities which combine
storytelling, strategy and overcoming intellectual challenges. They will also participate
in recreational games involving skill and imagination designed to broaden mindsets
of members and promote acceptance of diverse peoples and viewpoints.
Advisor: Omar Conrad, ext. 3495

Makes the club sound so... wholesome, and totally not like an excuse to play D&D. Although I wonder if anyone still uses the term Thac0 anymore.

So I'm riding home from school today with the crotchetty old bus driver I like, as opposed to the bitch who confuses me by stopping before I expect her to, and we have the following conversation.

Him: ""So... What's that thing you're listening to? Is that a GPS thing?"

Me: "No. It's a CD player."
Him: "Hmmm, really?" *Launches into a story about some other blind woman he used to take places.

I am still trying to puzzle out how you get GPS unit out of CD player. But at least I found his befuddlement charming rather than irritating.

Also, in the Amazon reviews for the book I'm reading, I keep reading that people think the author handles her villains particularly well, and that they present a real threat to the protagonists. Mostly I agreed up until the point where one of the villains started maniacally laughing.
Which was yet another moment when I wished I weren't riding a bus and had something to physically throw at a wall.
