Yesterday I got to make qarylla squee twice (though on time delay, since she didn't notice until this morning).

georgy and prevenger just ordered a Wii, and they are planning to get Wii Play. Due to some humorous timing, they couldn't do it online. I recalled that the local Best Buy had tons of copies, so I volunteered to pick one up. As it happens, I also knew ( Read more... )

(What? He's over the age of consent in the UK!)

(Um, I mean... that Hermi.... uh, Gin... Ch... Is there any female in this bloody series that's between the ages of 18 and 39?)

Scholastic just announced that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be released on July 21. One week after the Order of the Phoenix movie comes out. Something ( Read more... )

Friday night the group tried the Perplex City bard game. As expected, it played much like Trivial Pursuit. We were split on how good it was, though there were more positive repsonses. Maybe a tad easy, and there's quite a few questions that are basically unanswerable if you didn't grow up in the UK ( Read more... )

Being on again, off again sick for the weekend has gotten rid of my holiday weight. I know "blorf" is not a safe or sustainable weight loss strategy, but I'll take the bump and run (or StepMania) with it ( Read more... )

I've been renting from GameznFlix for about 8 months now, and am mostly happy with the service (about 10% of items seem to get lost, but they don't hassle me for a second about any of). I am allowed two items out at a time. The problem I am having is that I can't play two games at the time; this is exacerbated when qarylla wants to play something too or ( Read more... )

Filming of new "Get Smart" movie to begin in March

Insert usual combination of excitement that a little part of my childhood (which Nick at Nite allowed me to borrow from other people's childhoods) and trepidation at the possibility it will be butchered.

Friday night was the third Second-To-Last session of World's Largest Dungeon For Now. All the damage finally caught up to us with another death. Surprisingly, it was not one of the four of us sharing 25 points of Con damage, but the dwarf barbarian. mr_q_o_p's character died a noble and furious death, and I have a plan for how to give Friend Warbeer a ( Read more... )

Friday was what will probably be the penultimate session of dm_bashir's World's Largest Dungeon game for the time being. Kade (see new icon) talked trash with an imprisoned evil deity, then tried to kill him with a magic plot-seeking sword he's borrowing. Instead, he killed a few stirges and generally took poor tactical actions in his anger. Neither of ( Read more... )

Yesterday we threw a highly belated birthday party for crow112101. Being the organized folks we are, we decided that the the beginning of the festivites would be at our condo whenever. "Whenever" turned out to be a lot later than I expected, as the birthday boy, his Monkey-Child, middle_sis, mr_q_o_p and queenofpink77 got stuck in traffic on the way over. We finally set out for Rock ( Read more... )

It'd be shiny if y'all would go see a charity screening of "Serenity" on or about the 23rd of June. Any platinum the Browncoats raise is goin' to Equality Now, a faction the Alliance surely doesn't approve of. Spread the word on the Cortex while you're at it, dohn ma?

(Dependin' on just how hard qarylla works, there might be a cunning hat or two ( Read more... )
