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 the last Goddess-knows-how-long, because I arrived to find no parking (even on the street in front of the practice). Patience was ( Read more... )

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 get him a make-up present, though.

Do you know all those different click-to-give sites? I very geekily gathered up all the ones that I know ( Read more... )

I hate coming up with titles. Can you tell?

Happy New Year to all of you. I hope to see more of you in person this year!

I’m still not feeling well at all, so I haven’t been online much. Despite that, my wrists have been aching as if I were working again. How does that happen?

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 the twit (who keeps comments disabled on his blog-afraid of a little commentary, Goldfarb?). This isn’t the ( Read more... )

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. I had over 1400 books in Now Reading, and I haven’t quite figured out why there are fewer books in GoodReads. Oh well. It’s pretty much done ( Read more... )

I’m not feeling so good, so I’m mostly posting links. But they’re good ones!

My one and only complaint about gaming with Sam is that I never, ever get enough. He’s just so good, and the stories are so fascinating, that I always want more! I’m just greedy, I guess.
