So the big news is that I am moving back to the Bay Area at the end of the summer! Slim has been accepted into UCSF pharmacy up there, so off we go!

I've been reading Giant in the Playground for some time now. It's a great amalgamation of pop-culture and web-culture, turn based strategy games, tabletop gaming, and just good ol' storytelling and character development.
