The other day when I was looking around for different health insurance online (we’re still trying to see if there are some better options than the idiotic BCBS plan that we have. On the upside we can get treatment, but on the down side we can’t get enough of the type we like and it [...]

We’ve all but decided that we’re going to refer to ourselves as a “gestalt entity”. We actually originally heard the term in ‘Red Dwarf’ (of all places, Rose says). However it had lain dormant in our mind until it came up again in Dave’s RIFTS game (of all places, I say!); when we initially started [...]

I don’t know if I mentioned that we officially have a working laptop again. Office Depot agreed it wasn’t cost effective to fix the old one so they sent us a gift card the value of the old one and I was able to replace it with a similar model, actually a better model. This [...]

I’m hesitant to call it that because there’s still some dregs of issues and tiredness and irritability, but I suppose that may also be the last of the sleeping pills coming out of my system as well. I haven’t taken them since Wednesday and I’m tired and sore but we’ve also still been doing a [...]

We’ve done quite a bit of new games over the past few months. The long running “London Game” came to a close with the defeat of Mab the ancient dragon, and the characters retired, for the most part. In it’s stead I’m running what is known as the “low tier” game because everyone is playing [...]

The spring cleaning bug has spread from the house to the websites. Roomie and I have been updating and rearranging a bit on the tarot site, and will be doing more on that in the days to come. For now though I’m done for the day. I’m just making sure to catch-up on a couple [...]

We’ve been playing Rifts with a few of our friends for a couple of months now. The game has always been really, really good, in part because the GM has such knowledge of the Palladium universe and is a born actor and orator and story teller. However, last night’s game was above and beyond. It’s [...]

I’ve been looking for less “real-time” games to play and more games that I can potentially pause and come back to. To that end I’ve found Kongregate which is membership site that’s free and has a lot of flash games which appeal to a variety of tastes. I’ve been having a fun time trying to [...]

I spoke before about the game Travian and how much fun it was, and perhaps it would have continued to be fun for me if I was still on the regular server, but I got bored with how long it was taking to do anything on that server and signed up for the speed server. [...]
