Last night was our weekly gaming session. The week before, Adamczykon has finished up a very long (and excellent) story arc for his Vampire: the Requiem campaign, and this week was to be a bit of wrap-up, as well as deciding what to play next, and what to do for our gift exchange.
In the process [...]

Part of my job at the Restaurant Where I Work(TM) is Christmas decorating, and there’s a lot of it to do. It’s a pretty big restaurant, two rooms. This year, knowing that it was pretty much only going to be Jamie and I doing it (and whatever random tall person from the kitchen that I [...]
