Looky what I got!  Isn’t it awe­some?  Some friends of mine went to a small anime con­ven­tion and imme­di­ately thought of me when they saw it.  So they bought it!  I love sur­prises. In addi­tion to the obvi­ous, this was a nod to my half-orc, XaXa.  A cou­ple of their char­ac­ters lust after XaXa mightily, […]

Appar­ently, I’ve come of age in the blog world!  I’ve won a Major Award™.  Okay, maybe not, but Apollo passed along The Lemon­ade Award to me this week.  (Sarah also won! She wants pic­tures of your Chuck Tay­lors, by the way.)

Assum­ing we’re all play­ing the Whis­per Game right, The […]

A while back, I was think­ing of putting up a sum­mary of what’s hap­pened so far in the Fri­day night D&D game.  Then every Sat­ur­day or so, I’d put up a post-game sum­mary.  It works for some other blogs I’ve read. I know a few of you quiet ones out there are won­der­ing what’s going […]

(If you don’t know Killa, this won’t make much sense.  He’s one of my RS buds who is going through an awful time right now.  I don’t know all the details, but even if I did, they’re not mine to tell.  I’m sim­ply mak­ing a place where every­one can send out their good vibes to him.)

My April Fools’ Day was mostly tir­ing.  I’m still play­ing catch up from my week­end at Imagi­con.  My sleep pat­terns are return­ing to nor­mal, and I actu­ally am back to work­ing out com­pletely.  Yes­ter­day, I was one day late fin­ish­ing Day 30 of my yoga chal­lenge and did 140 pushups.  Today I decided […]

As I men­tioned last week, Imagi­Con was my first real con­ven­tion.  The turnout was dis­ap­point­ing, with high esti­mates being around a thou­sand vis­i­tors.  The event suf­fered from disorganization,but while I was there, I got the scoop about the cur­rent Birm­ing­ham con­ven­tion scene, and that shed some light on the sit­u­a­tion.  Birmingham’s big convention […]

This week­end is Imagi­con. I’ve never been to any SciFi (not to be con­fused with SyFy), Gam­ing, or Fan­tasy con­ven­tions before. Imagi­con is all three.

I was con­cerned that I wouldn’t find any­thing to do while Chris plays Dun­geon Mas­ter to total strangers, but it looks like I’ll actu­ally be strapped for […]

Most of my friends are gamers, with the major­ity play­ing World of War­craft as their main com­puter game. Lately, many of them are aban­don­ing the game, bored and unim­pressed with the expan­sion packs, and frus­trated at the option of Player vs. Player (PvP) as the only “new” thing to do, since they’ve man­aged to do […]
