He’s got me spellbound

Since the con, I can’t go to sleep without CJS popping for a few minutes.
If you get the post title, you may have a cookie.

The rest of the story

Newfie!
We didn’t get to the con until 11ish this morning. We hung out in the dealer room, Empath playing a LAN game of Jedi Academy and me watching. The first match, he worked the rust off his fingers. The second match, he was in the top 3 playing as Mon Mothma. He got targeted a [...]

Number 4

Sci Fi on the Rock is this weekend and we bought weekend passes for each of us. Incidentally, we stuck with orange paper bracelets on our wrists until tomorrow night so we can visit whenever we like.
The lower floor had the dealers’ room. We were there fairly early at 10a and cruised around all the [...]

Free will

I made up a family of 8 Sims with free will turned on and am waiting to see how they all die. I’ve provided them with the basics – a house with 2 full baths, beds, stocked kitchen, tv and seating – and it’s up to them to keep themselves alive. Should one or more [...]

Gamers in love

My husband and I are sitting quietly on the couch, the stillness of the air occasionally disturbed by the snick of scissors as we cut out 2×3 rectangles from sheets of printer paper. “We are such nerds,” Empath says to me.
I look up from my work and ask, “Why?”
“It’s 2 a.m. and we’re cutting out [...]

Let’s have some fun, shall we?

After reading the front page story in The Scope while waiting for my pizza to cook, I decided to target Newfie In Use to see if this post will be “tracked” by Mayo.

Wax nostalgic

Reading Hal’s post on the Peep Diaries (and my comment there) got me to thinking about my own experiences in the fast food industry. I never did anything gross to or with a customer’s food, no matter how much of an asshat s/he was being when they ordered. I did give people “extra” out of [...]

I got to thinking about word replacement again and decided to try it with song titles.

Sneaky little shit

Today’s Easter. Nothing special on my end, in a quasi-religious way. I did find out the Easter is based on the moon’s cycle rather than a set date. Nice to see the paganism shining through.
So, I went to get a water bottle from the fridge and found a gold coin on top of [...]

Moody

Empath is in a real bitchy mood tonight. I was trying to listen to the Bob and Tom show for Tuesday. Tom isn’t a favorite of either of us, but he so got under Empath’s skin. Empath would bitch in his larangetic voice, causing me to not be able to hear what was say while [...]
