Coming home from Vegas today/tonight
Had to say goodbye the other day to my new little friend Cee Cee, the lead cat at Tahiti Village hanging out in the landscaping. He was my favorite because he was talkative and slept by a palm tree with little … Continue reading
I have very little sorrow for the Queen of England
Other than being one of the wealthiest people on welfare, her existence meant little… beyond showing how the US isn’t the only country against socio-political progress. I will never understand why so many Americans, especially women, get all caught up … Continue reading
Ravenloft returns!
I guess the rumors of Ravenloft’s return could be partially true. D&D’s current creative team just brought back Spelljammer which I bought several weeks ago and then there’s Eberron in 2019. Wait, it’s possible since the module which started it all hit stores 40 … Continue reading
Ugly ducklings should definitely apply!
I say, why not? Some people could use a good challenge, embrace a rather wild, impulsive career change! You could be one of those pests on a golf course, honking at all the jerks in the ugly pants! However, if … Continue reading
So many amazing events/discoveries with people’s DNA
I stumbled upon a couple articles which blew my mind about Human DNA! First up involves these unusual pair of identical twins known as the Salyers. Or maybe they’re just odd or weird because the women always wanted to marry … Continue reading

Villains
Villains isn’t a terribly original film about two robbers on the lam who break into the house of two psychopaths while hiding out from Johnny Law. Tarantino built a whole act around this with his poorly aged and overrated Pulp Fiction. … Continue reading
Metztli is dapper
Before Jennifer went to sleep for the day, as you may recall, she’s working overnights for the next couple months; she made this funny little TikTok movie of Metztli. A little silliness at the kitty’s expense since Metztli prefers to … Continue reading
Good luck to Lisa Stevens on her retirement
Yesterday, Lisa announced her total retirement from game publishing after some 35 years. Not bad finishing out as the CEO of Paizo, a company which makes a rival product to D&D but personally, I really dislike Pathfinder‘s Second Edition because it’s … Continue reading
Kind dog helps a kitten out of the rain
It’s little moments captured on camera that warm my heart and give me hope, especially when our fellow mammals demonstrate kindness and compassion for one another. If they have this innate ability, then humans have more potential to do this. … Continue reading
RIP Barbara Ehrenreich
Barbara was a great writer and activist who told it like it is! Like most, I never heard of her until she published Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America which came out in 2001. Even then, Barbara was … Continue reading
Woo hoo! September with Vegas coming!
Normally, I’m not thrilled about this month. Sure we get a three-day weekend with Labor Day but it also means Summer is over. On the upside, Austin gradually starts to cool off, the Renaissance Faire is coming, outdoor shows aren’t … Continue reading
