You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I've gotten my butt kicked at War of the Ring repeatedly, but I like the game. Also, we just taught Yahtzee to a Moldovan.

Ah, I bought War of the Ring a couple of months ago on the back of some rave reviews on boardgamegeek. Haven't had the chance to play it yet, though. I like the idea of twin tracks to victory for both sides, so you can simultaneously be on the brink of victory and the verge of defeat.

Have you tried Puerto Rico? That's currently their top-rated game, and this one I can vouch for personally

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Apropos of games, there is a new Munchkin varient out: Super Munchkin. This time the theme is superheroes. I need to play this soon...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I woke up in the middle of a dream hissy fit. So now I have residual anger that has nowhere to go. It's not a nice feeling. But at least I get to run this morning.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I had the most realistic boring dream ever last night, and I hardly ever remember my dreams, so it's extra disappointing. In the dream I was telling a friend how I like all the piano-based pop music right now. WTF?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I had a dream that I got in a car accident because I couldn't figure out how to press the brake rather than the accelerator, and I was falling asleep at the wheel. I had another dream that there was some kind of buffista get-together, and there was a whole table of food out, and everything there had brie.

My subconscious is odd.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I had a dream that there was a Buffista F2F, but we couldn't use the hospitality suite because another group was using it to display food sculpted out of avacados.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

tom, that's the best dream EVER.

I'm feeling unenthused today. That's a bad sign for day two. I think it's the early wake up that does it.

Focus on the sweet commute, Kat.

Not to mention the idea of avocado sculptures.

What is even happening?

Is your radio playing when you sleep, or is your alarm set to radio?
