Weekly Round-Up for 29 June 2014

“When I’m Small” by Phantogram. I said I had to check this group out. On the way to the Canadian Aviation Museum with my girls last week, this came on the radio. It caught my attention and I made a Read more…


What Would Dumas Do?

Sometimes I don’t feel like writing for RPGs. This is happening less and less, but it still happens. The other night I went back to a story tentatively titled “Boltcutter” about mercenaries returning to an African country in which they Read more…


Weekly Round-Up for 21 June 2014

“Ways to Go” by Grouplove. This was the earworm of the week for me.  It popped up on the radio a few times and then when I was listening to streaming music at work (I’m a bad, bad man), it Read more…

False -cough- Alarm – cough-

It turns out my wife does not have pneumonia. Some issue with reading the X-ray. Still, she’s coughing like crazy, though less crazy than before. Less crazy is good, right? I had four days of fever, chills, and other unpleasant Read more…


Because A Sick Wife Ain’t Trouble Enough.

Yeah, so my wife got a diagnosis of pneumonia. She’s on antibiotics – only one day so far – and no change. She has been suffering for four weeks. I got a cold on Saturday, just some light coughing. Now I’m Read more…


Review: Badges of Fury

Wow. That was . . . a movie. I think. My wife and I wanted to watch something on a Friday night, and this one was available on Netflix. We can always agree on a Jet Li movie, but this wasn’t Read more…
