I didn't drive up to Origins. I was up way too late last night, and slept in this morning. Backup plans for this evening fell through, too.

Instead, it looks like movie night. Watching In Cold Blood, and writing a little bit about narcotics trafficking.

Like a lot of other people, I've been watching some of the World Cup. The US made a good showing, ( Read more... )

This weekend, a huge storm system tore heck outta much of the Southeast. Lexington didn't fare badly, just a few street closures here and there. The apartment below mine was flooded ( Read more... )

I finally got out of town on Saturday. Went to Louisville to hang out with D, and it was, on the whole, a very good day. We indulged our craft nerd sides - she has a nifty new mug and I got some new cheeses from a local dairy. Shopping on Bardstown Road, including throwing some money at Ear X-Tacy, 'cause if there's any music store that deserves to ( Read more... )

NFL playoffs started this weekend.  The Ravens played a good game against Miami, and the Arizona-Atlanta game was a lot better than I expected it to be.  The Chargers really should send a thank-you card to the officials who handed them their win over Indianapolis, and loathe as I am to say it, the Eagles looked great against the Vikings this ( Read more... )

Last name of the actor playing Gambit in the upcoming Wolverine origin movie?  Kitsch.  Couldn't be more appropriate.

Based on the character and story ideas we batted around on Tuesday night, I think this upcoming Star Wars game is going to be a good time.  I abandoned the Jedi aspect of my character idea - probably for the best, as two of the other three PCs are Force-users.  The Clone Wars is going to feed my lightsaber-swinging need for a while, I guess.

The Twilight: 2013 game wrapped up early.  Not sure what's coming next, who the GM's going to be, anything.  I'd be happy enough not picking up the Viking hat right away, since I'm already running Spycraft for the UKMSU.  Have to see how discussions and recruitment go in the coming weeks, I guess.  I'm of a mind to try a World of Darkness game of ( Read more... )

Well.  That was unexpected.  All of a sudden, I'm running two more-or-less regular Spycraft games.  I've got the Joint Enforcement Initiative going with Aaron M's Meetups, and now another game for the UKMSU.  Hoo-boy.

Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow is a lot of fun.  Hulk is indeed the strongest there is.

The new iPhone launches today.  I would not want to be at an Apple or AT&T store, and I got a text from AT&T yesterday morning warning of possible service outages today.  I think they're terrific devices, but not yet terrific enough that I want one.

Comics this week:
The Dark Tower: The Long Road Home #5 (of 5):  Disappointing ending to the story.  ( Read more... )

My feet are all better.  By Friday afternoon, there was no discomfort at all, and I have learned an important lesson about maintaining a level of activity.  My next vacation from 100 Midland Avenue will involve lots more walking, that's for sure.

The Lexington Horsemen beat the Bloomington Xtreme Saturday night, advancing to the UIFL championship ( Read more... )
