Just finished The Tower of Fools by Andrzej Sapkowski. I've been reading this book since December. It's not that long at 550 pages, but I found I could often only read a chapter or two at a time because of just how dense this thing was. I enjoyed it, but I definitely thought I wasn't gonna...

Conclave (Amazon Prime) After being told by, I think, everyone I know that this is a really good movie, I finally convinced Eriol to watch it with me. (He had heard controversial things apparently.) Beautiful film, gorgeous costuming, excellent character work by the leads. The final final...

Whiplash (Netflix) I am again, late to the party on this one. It is... certainly a movie. Reminded me at times of Black Swan, and I think in a good way. As someone who was invited to join an audition-only provincial honour orchestra when I was a year younger than the technical youngest age...

Good luck my fellow voting peeps. May we have a decent Prime Minister tomorrow. And if we're lucky, good representation in Parliament.

I'm in this picture, and I don't like it.

Yes, but did you successfully acquire the Pikachu?

For Canadian content, Loading Ready Run have a series on YouTube called Dice Friends. They've done d&d, vampire, and other ttrpgs. All with different DMs running things.

Honestly, it's a bit of both. The US Border services folks are... swingy at the best of times, which these are absolutely not. And given the conditions for detainment, it would likely be severely detrimental to my mental and physical health - and liberal clergy are likely not the sort of folks...

Yup. I had hoped to go to DC and area in the near future to visit museums and such, but ya. Nope. Not gonna happen. And same goes for any cruises leaving from the States. Not gonna happen.

More crochet - a shawl I have been working on, off and on, for over a year! I just finished it on Friday and got it washed and stretched out on Saturday, and gave it away today (pic taken on my ridiculously large desk at work). It's probably about 6 feet on the long edge. And very soft and...

In my dreams maybe! Show was very good. Time for sleeps now.

At the risk of breaking the joke, I have 2 wins today! 1 - I finished a shawl I've been crocheting off and on for years. Yay! 2 - I'm currently sitting in the largest local concert venue, awaiting a whiskey delivery from Eriol and my favourite singer to take the stage later tonight! Woo!

Dragon Age: The Veilguard (PC) While I own, I think, 2 other DA games, this is the first one I've actually ever completed. The story was interesting, I enjoyed all the side quests and factions. I actually liked going back to the various zones and poking around. The companion characters were...

That was actually one of this evening's memes....

I don't entirely know how it happened, but I have somehow become the meme-dealer for my all-clergy D&D group. If there's a quip, I can find the meme for it. I'm not sure if I'm proud of this accomplishment or deeply deeply ashamed.
