YAY! I accompanied Sarah to hear Jane Yolen talk at Smith. Her talk was nice and sweet, and moderately short but insightful, but the questions...oh the questions....went on and on ( Read more... )

I just watched my mom play 3 hrs into FF XII. Yeah. She needed some stuff clarified, but otherwise she learned it all with the tutorial. She learned all the basics right down to the difference between X and O and where to find L1. Totally awesome that she let me force her into it. hehe ( Read more... )
