Re: TF2
Forgot how much fun this game can be with the right group. Wound up, for some reason, on a very chatty Australian server--silly and fun, but still very encouraging team chat. It got a bit Eddie Izzard-esque ("Shoot them! Make them die, destroy everything that isn't blue-shaped! Make them sad!"), most rounds finished with "High fives and ice ( Read more... ) -
So....
New Orleans Comic Con.
You think someone would've mentioned that to me? It's, like, a month away. I think I heard about it in passing in the same dismissive way most folk talk about whatever local anime con attempts to rise from our swampy land, but dude, this one's put on by Wizard.

I has a sad.
So today, Ms. Teresa, the lady who runs the comic shop, sent out this announcement:
If any of you are ready to buy this comic shop, it is now up for sale. Make a good Christmas present.To be honest, I've seen this coming. They don't order as much stuff as they used to, they have fewer trades, less merchandise, and for the big pre-Christmas sale ( ( Read more... ) -

I made beef stew. It is...reasonably tasty. I had no real desire for beef stew, but I was walking through the fresh market produce section a while back (apparently, this is dangerous for me to do), and just grabbed some carrots and potatoes on a whim thinking "I'll bet I can do something yummy with these ( Read more... ) -
Random things
Doing novel research, I learned that if I ever have a kid, I'm not going to be able to name him after my favorite Ninja Turtle without things being very awkward. Good thing my heart's all set on Theodore Gideon ( Read more... ) -

Okay.
Finally finished this page. So, that's my quota, more or less. All that's left is to touch up the previous pages, scan 'em all, and send 'em off to JP. Not that anything's going to come out of that, but mostly, at this point, it's just about keeping the lines of communication open instead of dropping the ball rather spectacularly like I ( Read more... )
