Off the grid, sort of
Recent event have made me realise that I am sort of off the grid, and people aren't aware. I'm out in Japan right now, and my phone doesn't work here in any way, shape or form.

Valentine's
Valentine's day: I got Bron a copy of Red November as a small surprise. Better than getting her red roses? Maybe. We sat down and played again and it was ... ok. Not as much fun as Pandemic. She then went and cooked us some fine duck plus all the trimmings. Yum ( Read more... ) -
Online Origin of Species
Occasionally something reminds me why I happily work long hours. -
Films
Saw Valkyrie on Friday, and Slumdog Millionaire tonight, at the cinema. Both very good, both I'd recommend. Still need to rent Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan and Freejack at some point.
