The dumpster fire that is our country has me spending more time thinking about self-care. How can I care for myself so I don’t burn out or blow up? What do you do? I’m going to try limiting my exposure…
Saturday, what a day
My day started a little later than usual. I was up late (for me, anyway) playing D&D with a new group. It was a very lively game full of fun, but we also defeated the bad construct. Once I got…
Review: Deck of Many Insults
Over the last few years, I’ve taken to backing crowdfunding projects, especially those that are RPG-related. I don’t recall how I came across the Deck of Many Insults by Loke Battle Mats on BackerKit, but I backed it. The product…
What I’ve Been Up To
Lots of knitting. Lots and lots of knitting. (If you’re on Ravelry, you can see my finished projects.) My hands ache from the knitting, particularly the left because I knit Continental. I think I may have to learn to knit…
Energy Boost
Plinky asked, "What energizes you?" I struggle with major depression (actually, treatment-resistant depression), so it's difficult to find much that energizes me. However, really great conversation with just a few people does it quite well. The same goes for story…

I had a pain doctor appointment last week but wasn’t up to going. So Sam rescheduled it for me, and I headed across town today. Apparently, this was the day for “fitting in” everybody who has canceled an appointment in…
I missed what?
It was National Grammar Day AND Gamemaster’s Day, and I didn’t realize either until the day was almost over! It was date night, though, and my favorite GM and I did play, so at least there’s that. I’ll have to…
McCain Blogger Flubs His Roll
If you’re a gamer, you’ve probably heard the hoorah by now. Michael Goldfarb, a blogger on McCain’s official campaign site added a lame anti-gamer slur to his rinse-and-repeat “but he was a POW!” bullshit. Sam (and many others) responded to…
Good Reads Migration Finished!
That was not painless at all. The import feature is tetchy, at best. I had to go through the entire list of 1300+ books and fix their “bookshelf” assignments as well as add some that just didn’t import at all.…
