Today Spike revealed to me that he did not know who the Emperor was.

When you feel terrible, can't think straight, and are working more and more hours while getting less and less done, one thing to ask yourself is "Have I eaten any food recently ( Read more... )

I am going to play Planescape: Torment again. That was a fine game, perhaps the single best game I have ever played. Not like the trash that kids these days play. If you have not played PS:T, you have not lived the nerd life. It goes for ten dollars on the Amazon.

And in additional girly-man nerd news, I think I finally got the tension adjusted right on my sewing machine. It was the bobbin tension that was screwing things up. Anthony, I have a lot to do this weekend, I probably won't get anything real done on your bag until next weekend. But it's coming.

We're starting to get moving on our project*, only a month later that I'd have liked. But it's starting to come together conceptually, at least, though I still need to figure out how mission handling works and all, and write some rules for mules and oxen and maybe horses and wagons as well.
