First off, like any American I am furious at the chicken shit SOBs that bombed the marathon. My professional wag is 1-3 white supremacists picking an international event usually won by Africans. I don't think it's a coincidence that the bombs were placed by the flags. Also kudos to Boston for shutting down the T. It would be a natural secondary ( Read more... )

Ravencon was pretty awesome. I'm getting better at moderating panels, and the publicity drove some folks to my autograph session so I sold some games. I also twittered at the con resulting in some new followers. As always the parties were fabulous, which made evenings rock and mornings a challenge. Got in a really good play test of E, but still ( Read more... )

I'm pretty stuck on The Mongoliad Book 2. Has anyone read it? Is it worth plowing through? I'm starting to think not.

This weekend I finished Coffin Underground. Also played a lot a of games and play tested one of my own. Then there was Dr. Who. Lots of lots of Dr. Who. I don't miss Amelia so much, but I dearly miss Rory ( Read more... )

The hubby forgot to defrost food for dinner last night so he suggested sushi. Oh, poor me ;-) After he wanted to visit a coffee house. It was after 7:30 and to our disgust EVERYTHING seemed to be closed. We tried four places including an Italian restaurant I was sure would be open when I remembered the Starbucks in South Lakes. It was open, but so ( Read more... )

Last night sharainchains and I went to see Next to Normal at the community center. We knew it was a musical about a family with mental illness issues, but we were unprepared for the depth of the illness and the heartbreaking circumstances of the family. We cried through most of it, but we also loved it. The music was complex and the cast were ( Read more... )

Finished Limbus Inc. think Twilight Zone meets Jolly Fats Temp Agency. It was well written and brimming with dread. I need to write a review on Librarything before I forget. Three books to go!

Books: the three (formerly the four)

Movies: just TV

Soundtrack: hubby muttering to himself in the kitchen

We had a date night last night: Oz, sushi, Irish coffee, and chocolate. Gooooooooood hubby. I though it was a good movie. A see once on the big screen, but not a buy and watch over and over. Unless you're a kid maybe ( Read more... )

Lately we've seen an uptick in X-Machina sales thanks to ambug666's use of the Steamachina variant in his steam punk LARP. I've used this as a sign to start stepping up my marketing. To that end I've started a twitter feed for the company @BandCgames. Hey, it's free and it couldn't hurt. Maybe I should use it to insult Justin Bieber for some ( Read more... )

Saturday we attended the wedding of our buddy Jim's daughter. It was lovely, but I spent way too much time on my toe. No sooner had we gotten home than the phone rang and my father told us he'd broken his clavicle - in two places. And yet he seemed in less pain than I was. Why couldn't I have inherited his pain to,era cue instead of Mom's ( Read more... )
