GenCon Day Two: Thrust into the Light
ARGH!!! Teh Intarweb ate my post! 🙁 So between several sidetrackings, I had put a bit of time into working on my wrapup for today’s GenCon visitation, but thanks to an untimely use of the backspace key while not in the text box lead to the aforementioned post eating. Now I must try to reconstruct […]

A day-by-day wrap-up of my visit to GenCon Indy this year with Grimwell, The Muse and their children and CmdrSlack and his fiancee. These wrap-ups have also been posted over at GamerGod along with Grimwell’s and CmdrSlack’s observations. —————————— I was apparently the only one of our group who managed to arrive at our hotel […]

The Wonderful Wizards of the Coast! AKA GenCon Indy. I’m officially on vacation (started today! Whoo!) and am packing up the truck to head down tomorrow.

Hope all the fathers out there have a good day to enjoy themselves and spend time with their families. I’m going to call my dad a little later this evening, but in the fine tradition that I’ve taken to, I have once again not sent a card. I have one here, I just forgot to […]

So last night, I’m driving home from work, just as I usually do. Of course, since it’s January in Chicagoland, it’s fecking freezing here, and still dark. Winter wouldn’t be so bad if it weren’t for the cold. So anyways, I’m driving home, and part of my route runs along the Fox River here. The […]

And what have I done? Well, so far, I’ve managed to yet again change the look of my website. This constant change amuses me for some obscure reason, not exactly sure why that is. If I put as much effort into leveling my character in AC2 as I do in redoing the look (not the […]
