Great, we've got 3 confirmed players so far then! Rude, Enr0n, Blackheart.

Music: I mainly listen to FM radio in the commute (no CD player/iPhone hookup in the car, and local NPR doesn't have any music) and some of that stuff has wormed itself into my head. Some Nights by fun. is the latest one. They have an ersatz Queen thing going. I like that version, but there is now an ultra-shitty radio edit playing that has kind of killed it for me. I actually like that throw-back, synthy/discoey sound a good bit of pop has these days. I also got really obsessed with the Paul Simon song Obvious Child (from Rhythm of the Saints), especially the last minute or so. I also can't get Safety Dance out of my head these days. So there you go.

Board games: the wife and I have been playing a surprising amount of Dungeon Petz. It's Vlaada's latest game and is up there in complexity with Dungeon Lords, etc. but the theme is pretty good and well integrated with the mechanics. It takes about 2 hours to play which is not time we often have but we've been fitting it in here and there. I've been hearing good things about the solo game Thunderbolt Apache Leader. Aeryk, you hear anything about this one? Sounds in your wheelhouse.

Anyone interested at all in Guild Wars 2? Thought not.
