  • Here's your dorky Marvel holiday panel of the day, featuring Beast and Iceman.

    From Marvel Holiday Special 1994

  • Celestine and I made this pathetic, slushy snow person yesterday.

  • We didn't have a full quorum for D&D tonight, but I put on my Dungeons & Dragons socks and we played Betrayal at Baldur's Gate for a taste of the game. We returned some eggs to a red dragon and then played some Smash Up. It wasn't the birthday D&D I had been looking forward to, but it was so nice to play with old friends.

  • @elenlaw@vivaldi.net thank you!

  • Since it's my birthday, I have to listen to The Crüxshadows' "Birthday" for that silly dark wave earnestness.

  • The tenth and final flower has opened on our office orchid.


  • Saturday night my work's Christmas event included a trip to black-lit mini golf and time in the arcade. It was definitely the most fun I've had at any of these events.

  • In 2009 I moved from Halifax to Waterloo in Ontario. My mother had just been diagnosed with cancer. The relationship I had with the person I moved to stay with fell apart. It became a liminal time for me.

    That same year Bike for Three! released More Heart Than Brains and it became the soundtrack for that time for me. It was the album that I listened to more than any other that year. I walked the strange, flat city with that music in my ears so many times.

  • This week's episode of It's Storytime with Wil Wheaton is a reading of "The Sort" by Thomas Ha. It's a touching, poignant short science fiction story that Wil delivered so well.
