Hey, anyone remember the Xenosaga review I posted 4.5 years ago? Well, I finally finished it. At this rate I'll be done with 3 in 2016.

For anyone else that's interested I'm planning on going to the Renaissance Festival in Sterling on Saturday. I will most likely get there fairly early, like 10ish. (That's early for me.)

Huzzah.

There's just so many good games, and I don't feel like I'm playing them enough. I have two scheduled games a week, but they don't always work out. I kinda miss some of the old days, when there were games and gamers aplenty.

Some of you fuckers need to move to Ithaca. You know who you are. :)

You ever have one of those days where you just want to drink?

It has occurred to me recently that there are a few types of music that I enjoy listening to, but very rarely hear because I don't actually own any of it. Therefore, I'm looking for suggestions of albums to pick up to cover a few genres. So if any of you out there in LJ-land are a fan of one of these genres and know a good album to fill a hole in a music collection, speak up.

In no particular order:

Swing
Punk
Blues
Ska

It occurs to me that I probably shouldn't be watching Buffy and Angel while drinking. I think it's messing me up. Oh well.
