…so we’re experimenting with some homemade insulation for our windows. I’ve done one of the two windows in the kitchen so far. We only bought a small package of bubble wrap, so we could see how well it worked. When we can, we’ll pick up a larger package and do the other windows in the [...]
…rather obsessed with The Sims 3 (something Milo bought when it first came out). It means late nights watching my Sims do things like unclog drains and hold hands.
At least there’s no monthly fee, right?
We taught Trevor how to play Uno last night. Marc taught me how to annoy people by saying “Uno!” randomly when you don’t really have Uno. I learned too well. Moira, Marc and I won; Trevor was catching on by the end of the rounds (we had one never-ending hand, wherein everyone seemed to build [...]
Tonight we’re going to try playing Settlers of Catan. Marc and I originally bought this game after seeing it debut (in German) at DragonCon one year. I just loved it! We played in a group along with the fellow who wrote the English version instructions (he told me during the weekend that he wished we’d [...]
They may be in our future! Marc asked me if I knew how to make tortillas, or maybe just if I knew where to find a good recipe, and it was just the opening I needed to share a recipe I’d recently bookmarked (for him). The Fresh Loaf posted a pictorial tutorial on how to [...]
We held our regular game night last night, but with a birthday twist. Marc made an extra special taco bar (with all the toppings I can ever imagine wanting, including fresh bacon!), followed by an uber-Sundae bar. Oh, yum!
As always, we gamed. Last night, having only just discovered how much we love Cranium last week, [...]
…first things first: I promise to blog more often. This last week was an anomoly. Somehow I let all seven days slip by without even the thought of an update. I enjoy coming here every day or two and sharing what’s new, what I’ve seen and enjoyed in the last week, and suchlike.
So let’s catch [...]
xkcd – love, math, and lunacy.
The Order of the Stick – like D&D for the artistically challenged.
Ctrl + Alt + Del – Slacker fun + video games
Dark Legacy – World of Warcraft, written by and for players
Penny Arcade – while I don’t always recognize the cultural touchstones in this comic, I “get it” often enough [...]
Okay, so the truth is less salacious than the title here:
We played a new-to-us game last night: Bananagrams* and during one round, Alice won the hand with P-O-R-N.
The game in a nutshell: 144 tiles (Scrabble-like tiles, but without any points). Each player starts with the same number of tiles, forming their own words in front [...]
My root canal went off without a hitch, sort of. The dentist actually only half-finished, evidently. The infection is still raging so they cleaned out the dead root, and inserted cotton and very-temporarily-capped it, and sent me home until next week when the cotton will be removed and a less-temporary-crown will be added in place [...]
