A wonderful weekend
This weekend was one of the best I have had in quite a while. Just all around goodness.
We'll start on Thursday, in which I managed to thread the needle of skyscape's "Don't get me anything for my birthday," almost without a hitch. As a tip to new husbands out there, you need to get her just enough to let her know you thought of her, but not so much ( Read more... ) -
NaBlogWriMo: The Recappening
So, November has ended, and with it my grand blogging experiment. I certainly did better this year than last. I had to post a few late entries this morning, as I've been sick the last couple of days. I didn't quite make 30 posts in 30 days, mostly because I couldn't keep up on the weekends. I was doing most of my writing on my iPad during my ( Read more... ) -
Zintiel's Journal, Day 2
Day 2
We rose before dawn, and marched to beard a group of goblins in their den. Why precisely we were doing this was beyond me. But, our little group seemed to feel that it was proper repayment for our night's hospitality. Who was I to argue, as I had no coin to offer otherwise?

Zintiel's Journal, Day 1
Day 1
I must simply notate this first entry that way, as I have no way to know the current date. In fact, I know very little of anything. I am hoping that this journal will bring back some of my memories.

Rules, rules everywhere, and not a chance to think.
I had an interesting experience a couple of weeks ago, in which I participated in a FantasyCraft one-shot at a local mini-con. It was a lot of fun, and I want to keep an eye out for similar events coming in the future ( Read more... ) -
Flight or invisibility?
So, a little while back I was listening to the This American Life podcast. Apparently they were doing a repeat; the episode I heard, 178: Superpowers, says that it had an original air date of 2/23/2001. I actually recommend giving the whole episode a listen, as it's really good. In particular, I am fascinated by Zora, a self-made superheroine ( Read more... ) -

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1
Like a truly staggering number of people this weekend, I went to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I wasn't entirely sure I wanted to do it this weekend. I mean, it was going to be packed. But, I loves me some HP, so I did it. I even managed to do it on IMAX (this is a movie where the IMAX experience is totally worth it ( Read more... )
