Today is another film fest day, but we're doing it a little different. Tim is hosting virtually from PA, but I'm hosting the physical side. If you'd like to play along from a distance, shoot me your Skype name by 12:30 and queue up the following films in Netflix.

‎* The General
* The Lady Vanishes (1938)
* Sherlock Holmes: Terror by Night
* Northwest Frontier
* Disaster on the Coastliner
* The Taking of Pelham One Two Three

If you want to follow along on Twitter, look for the hashtag #vffJun11. :D

Oh... gentle reminder to the friends and family: when sending me snail-mail, please DO NOT USE THE OLD 6016 LITTLE BROOK CT ADDRESS. If you aren't sure and you need to send me something, just drop me an e-mail or send me a message and I'll get you an updated address. :D

* Thanksgiving -- very pleasant with me and Alex. Photos available here. :)

* Film fest: "I'm with the Band" Tried doing a pot-luck with this one; allowed folks to bring their leftovers. That also worked out well.

*Started decorating the house for the holidays. This upcoming week should see the tree up and running. :)

* Basically decent week

* Someone stole my coffee cup before I had a chance to make the first cup for that day. Kinda sucks since they took the time to dump the sugar that was in it out into a styrofoam cup (as if I wouldn't notice). However, happy ending -- a nice lady from Recruiting got me a new one from storage. :)

* The Moose was sick this weekend with a cold. Bad in that he missed out on a birthday party he was looking forward to, but he's feeling better now.

Wow. I have not been using this place lately, but yet I don't quite feel like disconnecting from here. So with that in mind, I think I'm going to use this once a week to post a wrap-up of how things have been. If you want the minutiae, you can head over to my Facebook account. :)

I decided I miss gaming and socializing with actual adults, so I think that starting next month I'm going to open the house to two gaming sessions a month on Sundays from 2 - 7 PM. One session will likely be me running a one-shot game; the other will be open to guests to run one-shots, bring board games, or whatever. If there's not enough people for a game, we'll just sit and veg. Anyone feel up for this? :D

Because we can't leave. Too much damn snow.

I've been keeping a running photo log of the snow on my Facebook page; here's the link if'n you'd like to see our snow. :D

To cheer everyone up, please have a double dose of Beaker. :)

We're still here. Alex turned 9 safely, even with all the snow. We are ready for the next snowstorm, having stored up food, blankets, a space heater, water, ice melt, and our trusty shovel. I'll try to get some pictures as it occurs.

Stay warm and dry, folks!

Happy Saturday, folks. It's snowing, so any plans I had were canceled. It's just as well: I didn't get to sleep until 5 AM this morning, so I might have been a little incoherent for driving later. :)

It's the Moose's birthday; he's 9 today, which feels hard to believe. As is my custom, here's the tale of his arrival here on earth.

Stay warm and cozy, folks!

Alive.

Woot.

Great Marscon.

Not the greatest day at home.

Things can get better, though. Woohoo. :)
