Richmond VA, Washington DC, Baltimore MD: the real bad stuff looks to be headed your way over the next 12 hours or so. hold on to your butts
my local game store is having a 20%-off sale, so I'm starting a collection. along with Monikers I picked up four games: Scattergories (favorite in our family), Azul (well-reviewed tile-placing game), Magical Athlete (like a chaotic Candyland?), and Wordsy (like Scrabble with cards?).

I wanted to love it,, but I only liked it (with strong ambivalence). I do love its look and I definitely appreciate the idea of it, but Biller aimed at a witchy, post-Lynch meller and ended up with a Douglas Sirk Rob Zombie film, which is fine. women can be Rob Zombie, too.
the office vending machine has been completely restocked… except for the oatmeal creme pies, the only snack I have any interest in. surely They must be doing this to punish me, the last living IT guy on Earth who refuses to work from home
