On Sunday night, I started writing hardcore. It had been a while. And a novel about the Veluchi witches is just spewing out of me. Other than work, I haven't been able to do much of anything else. Everything is rough but I know that it is a compelling story and if I can just follow through, maybe something will become of it. And then all ( Read more... )

Another day, another opportunity to learn more Magic:the Gathering rulez. They need me to work Saturday, January 31st so I'm going to have to cancel D&D that day.

Nothing new and exciting to report.

Draggy arrived Friday night. Saturday we shopped all morning, watched Pan's Labyrinth at home (thank you Christian) and then went to see 300 with Dave. Sunday we met Candice and Ian at Pike Place Market and spent the afternoon with them. Then Marissa was off to work symposium, Draggy and I ate leftovers, and spent the night geeking. Today we're ( Read more... )
