My post is a bit tardy, but if you really want to know what I've been up to, I must include this fine evening before I can tell you about anything else. Rainswept, Kyro, and I were privileged to spend the evening over at Cuz Jay's Howse. The coffee could have been better, but that might have spoiled the great retro feeling that was in the air. Wine Gums and Sour Skittles were plentifully provided by the Captain and enjoyed by all -- including two of Jay's spawn and visiting little cousin Emily. Vin GM'd and we other three each took a single 3rd level character through the classic gaming goodness that is "The Keep on the borderlands."

So I stayed up a bit late watching Immortel (Ad Vitam) . It was a terrific late night movie. Surreal and beautiful. I can't give any review until I see it a second time. It was far too late for me to start a movie alone and I was constantly in and out of consciousness. Kind of pleasant really. In the morning, which came all too soon, Leora and Anwyn had made cinnamon toast for breakfast and ground some beans, boiled water and pressed my coffee. It was perfect!
