Hmm
Some days everything just feels wrong somehow - but in most cases, with hindsight, merely the usual number of things were wrong. So I suppose in those cases you should just generalize from your average. (therefore in conclusion, today is retroactively canceled ( Read more... ) -
GP Denver
Flying out to Denver to judge the Grand Prix. As a bonus surprise, I found out on Monday that no shift is available for me on Friday! Thanks for letting us know at the absolute last minute, dudes. :( Oh well, a lot of other people got caught out the same way, so I'll try to make the best of it. I hear there's a Super FNM. I don't think I've been ( Read more... ) -
Halloween preparations
So I was spray painting some styrofoam tombstones today... I've got the texture and color down pretty well (though on some of them I cheated and used spray stone), but I have no idea how to do the lettering and make it look halfway decent. I just eyeballed it and used sharpie on one, and it looks alright, but I'd like it to look /good/, especially ( Read more... ) -
Updates
I had a baby. The baby is now 11 months old. I moved to San Marcos - it's not quite in San Diego, but close enough. I leveled up in DCI judge levels. I am now L2.

Latro in the Mist
So I've been trying to read Soldier of Sidon to see exactly what was so exciting about that it beat out my friend Cat's book for the World Fantasy Award, and as part of that I read the first two books in the series, in a compilation called "Latro in the Mist." These were a couple of very good books, but then I got to the end, and it was really ( Read more... ) -
This is the time on Sprockets when we dance
The weird, unfriendly German couple next door are holding an impromptu club night. In a condo complex. It sure would be nice if they would turn down the bass.

Palimpsest (cont.)
So, finished the other half on the train back up to Pasadena (yes, I read the entirety of Palimpsest on a train, which I just realized is something of an odd coincidence). Anyway, it was really good and I would recommend it to anyone who is on the fence about picking it up. -
Palimpsest
So, got to read about half of Palimpsest on the way home from Pasadena. It's really good. Really, really good. -
Automotive Travails
My car broke down in Pasadena and remains there. I took public transportation back to San Diego so that my (pregnant) wife wouldn't have to drive to LA to pick me up, and am feeling very self-congratulatory about it. (*pats self on back ( Read more... ) -

Overheard while passing a bar:
"It's because they love boobies more than they love prostates!!"
