I totally overslept this morning. I woke up pretty damn early, initially, today. But I had a massive migraine hangover and my face was super fucking puffy. I almost looked like I had been punched in the face. Not a good look for me.

2 Retinas Called Pretty by the Eye Doctor
My eye doctor is a very strange woman. In our appointment, she told me how her first grandson, born a month ago, is named for Doc Holiday, told me I have a “cute freckle” in both eyes, complimented my “pretty retinas”, and congratulated me on getting me eye pressure lower.
It was a weird morning.

It’s been a bit since I’ve done an actual blog post.
I’ve… not been okay.
Continue reading “Of Ham and Haruhi Hitlock”What’s your favorite game (card, board, video, etc.)? Why?
Hands down, my favorite card game is Rummy. My mother and I had a notebook for a Rummy 1,000,000 game. With her untimely demise, I guess she won, her last score was 132,840 to my 132,775.
My favorite board game is Terraforming Mars. I love playing with J, Charles, and Mellon.
And my favorite video game is Diablo III or Sims 3. I love the house building and play of simulation games and I love the dungeon running of Diablo.
When it comes to trading card games, I’d have to say Magic: The Gathering holds my heart. Even if I started out playing Yu Gi Oh!, I still prefer M:TG.
For table top rpgs, Deadlands is my favorite. Pathfinder 2e is great, D&D okay, but I love the Savage World products.
Oh! And when it comes to dice games? Yahtzee. Fucking love Yahtzee.
So, there’s that.

18 Rows to Go on Junior’s Blanket
It’s late, so this will be quick. Two of our players’ characters nearly died during today’s Pathfinder game because of an over-abundance of terrible puns.
Like, 126 damage to Bo’s character Torvik almost died. Heh.
It was awesome. But now I go to bed because we are home, fed, medicated, and tired.
Take your meds, folks.
