I think we can all agree that ICE is terrible. But how do you feel about actual real ice... frozen chunks of water, the sort you would put in your drink?

One of the things about being a "Wizard" is that my special wizard eyes see shit other people do not. And most of the time I keep that shit to myself, but today I'm going to share.
There's an idea that I want you, dear reader, to get into your head.

Face reveal, I guess?
On a movie shoot, I have a different role normally but today i am a random background extra and was allowed to wear something more... Wizardly...
I miss my beard though. Had to shave it off for the primary role.

Anybody have any good #android games they'd like to recommend? I don't particularly care what type, I just want something to blast myself with serotonin while killing time between things.
