My two themes for Thursday. Puppy definitely giving off demon vibes 😈
Looking forward to doing a Leviathan script tonight! The demon doesn't kill people but if the townsfolk kill two good people they lose, and if the game lasts to night five demon wins

WILD game to end on! I was going to gush about it but just realized it might spoil the game if someone wanted to watch the vod.

I vended my first event in about 8 years today with Lodestone. It was nice to get back to my roots, and we had a great time.

I got some free Deftones tickets after being on the fence about going for the last few months and they ended up being in a suite.

If there's one episode of TV I wish I could force everyone to watch and internalize, it's the 30 Rock where Liz, who has always seen herself as a bullied nerd underdog, finds out she's actually been hated all her life because she's mean.

We're having a staff PowerPoint party at Lodestone in a few weeks, and I need to figure out what to present.

One advantage to jet lag is that I get to be up early enough to drink my coffee and listen to Tegan and Sara before playing my RCQ today.

Played my first 15 player Blood on the Clocktower game tonight. Being the Storyteller in a game that size is exhausting but the game was really close and everyone seemed to have fun.

The only things stopping me from playing in the RC tomorrow are: putting together my deck, registering that deck, waking up on time, finding my table, and playing my matches.

We woke up this morning to find our dog of almost 13 years struggling to breathe and took him to the emergency vet. After consulting with the vet we made the incredibly tough choice to say goodbye. Give your furry friend a belly rub in honor of Walter today. I’ll miss you Bubba.
