Lazer Tag? AND boiled Crawfish?!? Sounds awesome!

I would be trying to find a way to do both! ;)

Fractured Dimensions rather than CSM? Fortunately I avoided the former, if not the latter. (Although both look sweet)

Hey aeglos, you can tell Sabine I saw a real opossum today! I was driving home from choir practice, and there was one on my street, caught clearly by the headlights, about the size of a cat. Not one of the fake ones you guys saw in Chinatown :)

wohoo, possum, cool

I can't belive FHDM did not comment on this

Pacesetter games bought up the physical minis of CSM from bankruptcy court. Bill Bash offered a 50% discount on the mini packages he was selling off. While I didn't enjoy paying more for a Kickstarter I had already paid for, I did really like the minis, and the price wasn't too bad to get them. IMO it was better than spending for the KS and getting nothing

Prepping for another trip to Boston. Fortunately the weather is very clement today. Still, I'm wearing my wet weather gear. Because it is 3/1, and you can never tell..,

On the T now.

It's amazing how connected we are. Even five years ago I likely wouldn't be able to post while riding a T train.

I do want my computer glasses and VR keyboard though. Typing on an iPhone is suboptimal for getting my PbPs set up. Now would be an awesome time to work on my maps... *sigh*

I'm rather relieved that the cyberpunk authors of the Eighties were a little pessimistic about the level of dystopia we'd be feeling at this point in history...

Don't get me wrong, it's hardly rainbows and Pollyanna puppy tails out there, but hardly a Gibsonite scene.

It's funny. The iconic opening of Neuromancer was 'The sky above the port was the color of a television tuned to a dead channel'

To anyone raised on modern TV, it doesn't quite have the same visual impact ... Seeing as dead channel pictures are now a bright cheery blue...


OH MY GOD NEUROMANCER WAS RIGHT

You're going to need another house just to set up your collection!

You should check out the Pacestter Games site. They are selling off the minis from the failed CSM Kickstarter for fairly decent prices


I'm hoping I'm not totally wiped when I get home. I do feel bad that several of my games have stalled because I haven't gotten the maps set up. I need to work on that


Plus Walking Dead to finish watching and the restart of Gotham

I need to look into a cheap hotel near the Lovecraft bar. I know, NYC and cheap aren't synonymous, but any suggestions?

I'll look around. It might be fun to get hammered and pass out on someone else's floor for a change!

Everyone coming out to the bar is welcome to crash at the hotel. That way everyone is safe. We'll get some extra blankets and rough it

It was a bad scene. I put a lot into the original KS. I was very disappointed when it cratered, taking all of my money ($140) with it. But, I am happy to at least get my minis at last. Even if I had to pony up $70 more. They are lovely.


So I am in a year-long process of experimentation with how to make the perfect pulled pork. It's a great recipe: Simple, the cut of meat (pork butt or shoulder) often costs .99-1.99 a pound at the store, and it goes well in many dishes (sandwiches , salads, with rice). Tonight's recipe (so far the best):

In a Dutch oven combine:
Pork shoulder/butt
6 cups chicken broth
2 cups apple cider
5 cloves garlic
2 onions
10 carrots
4 sprigs of rosemary

Brown the pork first in the Dutch oven. When the cut is browned on all sides add the liquids and the veggies (don't bother peeling-it's more for the broth. ). Put lid on-toss in oven. Cook at 250F for eight hours. The meat is fork tender and very flavorful.

Anyone else watching Lucifer? I can't decide whether I like it or not


I really should be asleep. But I am so happy that I got another 100% today. And I have tomorrow off. For now.


Gratz on the 100% and enjoy your day off. I am up because I will be on the 4 pm to midnight shift for the next three days and starting next week I will be on the midnight to 8 am shift for the next 6 to 9 weeks. yay.


What? Only an 8-hour shift? I work a 12-hour, 4 on/4 off, 2day/2night shift rotation. :P

but yeah- I'm up for basically the same reason- I gotta stay up so I can sleep during the day tomorrow as I change between day shift and night shift.
