- GenCon files Chapter 11! Lot's of reasons I have not researched nor really care to know about, but bottom line, it is happening and if they make it out clean a whistle, all the better. If not, dark days for gamin.

- Played my first ACW mini's game with my new wargamin' buddy, Frank. We played Fire and Fury, and it was totally fun! He seriously has 1000's of minis of varying scale, theater, etc. in his house. 100's of military books, an 8 x 15 dedicated wargame table. It is my retirement dream come true. There were 4 of us there, so I only marginally learned the rules, but it was cool none the less. I am thinking very heavily about trying to get him into PBI, as I really wouldn't need to buy an army for two people, as is the norm, and in fact, I might not even need to buy/paint an army at all, because he has SO MANY MINIATURES. Good times.

- Drumming is so fun. I love it.

- Rome on HBO was a good show for the two seasons it was on. Leslie and I watched it over the last few weeks. Good stuff. Sorry it was canceled early, but it lets me see what could be in store for Game of Thrones....

- Not sure if it is better than Nip/Tuck... Apples and oranges I suppose. For those of you judging me for liking Nip/Tuck and have not seen it, I humbly request that you watch the first season, or even the first few episodes, and see if your opinions change. It is a ridiculous show, absurd to the nines, and definitely is not pro pretty people or plastic surgery.
