I’ve been a bit lax in posting recently, partly due to the weather (it’s been hot, and I’ve been exhausted), and also because I just haven’t been in the mood for writing anything recently! (I’ve gotten tremendously behind on writing session reports on BoardGameGeek, for instance…) I’ve just been working my way through some Jack McDevitt books. McDevitt is a really good science-fiction writer, whose … Continue reading Long time, no posts

Thank you to everyone who came to my birthday party or sent me notes of well-wishing. It was a good day. 🙂 Hey, I’m now 35! Continue reading Birthday thoughts

This is the part of my job I hate the most. Reprinting reprints of reports. They’ve already been proofread twice or three times, and mistakes are still being found. I move towards brain-dead about now. I was working all day Saturday, and until midnight on Monday. On Sunday, I went to a friend’s place and played a few boardgames; she’s a co-worker at Grammar, and … Continue reading Urgh.

I’ve almost managed to get rid of the pile of reports I’ve been proofreading. It’s not the proofreading that is painful – that’s pretty easy, all things considered – it’s then changing them on the system. Eep.

Well, only a few days to go until I finally get to perform in Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. That should be fun, even if it’s playing merry havoc with my gaming schedule – one of a few things, actually. I can still of count on boardgaming and my Savage Tide D&D game, but my Friday afternoon game is now defunct, and my Sunday Ulek campaign is … Continue reading Recent happenings

The latest Military Simulations sale is on (20% off boardgames!), so I’ve made my order with them. I’ve just heard that three of the games on the list (RT, ASL SK#3 & one of the twilights) is on their way… the others are currently out of stock, butwill be coming in the “near future”. Railroad Tycoon – this is a boardgame by the now-defunct Eagle Games. … Continue reading Going Shopping

This has been a dreadful week. Not in terms of all that much, just that I’ve been ill with a really nasty cold. So, Monday-Wednesday was basically feel really, really awful, and Thu-Fri was slowly climb out of the abyss. I had to cancel my Friday Star Wars session because I wasn’t up to running it. (I really think that game is jinxed!) Last weekend, … Continue reading The weekend
