Travel
I just made one of the largest single purchases of my life. You won't be really impressed. I didn't get a house. Nor have I ever owned a car, so the bar is quite low for this sort of thing ( Read more... ) -
Six Feet Under: Reminding me I am dumb
Somehow Netflix and I tricked me into getting the wrong season of Six Feet Under. Netflix was probably listing the most recent seasons at the top. And I must have ignored the numbers and assumed Netflix displayed what I actually cared about, back at the time I put the discs in the queue. The best part: I only figured it out while watching the " ( Read more... ) -
Casablanca
Hey, Casablanca is an excellent movie.
Who knew?
I'd heard tons of references before (of course), but only now (after finally watching it!) do I realize how many other things I'd heard before were also references! -
Sam & Max: Abe Lincoln Must Die
I've been hearing about Sam & Max games for years. They are largely in the old Sierra line of adventure / puzzle games, like King's Quest or Police Quest.
I played the entirety of Abe Lincoln Must Die today. It's not very long. It's also very free.
Download it for free here.It's worth at least fooling around with, and I enjoyed it. I'm not ( Read more... ) -

Mafia!
If you've never played the social game mafia, it's a fun thing to try at least once. It is helpful to play with someone who has played before, though.

Regular Events are Good
Wednesday is Board Game Day. This is a great thing.
It's nice not just because I love them games with boards (or cards), but also for having a regular time and place to see some friends. Even when I'm lazy with planning I get to be at least slightly social each week. -
2008
It would be interesting if everyone posted about the future, more than the past. Maybe not better, but interesting!
This year, I'll clean my room. That's not a resolution, just a necessity. Though I may end up moving somewhere, in which case I get to clean my room as part of moving.
