While getting to work in Magic R&D designing cards will probably never happen, I do get to claim some modicum of design credit, though unacknowledged.
The flavor text there? Yeah, that was mine (or at least, I was one of the people that submitted it, though perhaps not the first). You'll have to take my word for it, as I even asked to see if I was the one they got the quote from and never got a response, but I was quite proud of that submission when I sent it in and rather gratified that it got chosen.
(OK, fair disclosure ... I thought I might have submitted "Amongst the deepest ..." instead of "Amidst the darkest", but I can't remember well enough, so I can't tell if I did submit it exactly as written, whether they made some edits, or whether somebody else submitted with this wording that got chosen over the one I thought I submitted. Still, close enough for me.)

Tired of title themes that make me have to think. Maybe single words and other clever stuff will reemerge when I don't find myself struggling to post at all.
Anyway, quick recap of the first half of Survivor: Pearl Islands (which I love) ... Jon needs to die. Well, suffer first. Then die. He needs to be gnawed on repeatedly by a dull-toothed shark until he internally bleeds to death while his tribemates throw spears at him and the medical technicians watch, laugh, and yell, "Take that, Jonny Fairy-Pain-in-the-Ass".
OK, wishing death on someone is unbecoming. But seriously, I am so tired of that guy. He's right up there with bitch-ass Rob as the most annoying contestants ever ... smug-ass bastard.
Other than that, best season ever.
