I’m not done my Christmas shopping yet. I know, I know, I am cutting it pretty close. I’ll probably have to beat other shoppers with a candy cane to force my way through the crowds at the mall.

Other than just buying out the entire stock of ThinkGeek, you can get kind of stuck. Luckily for you, I have come up with a short list of … [Read more...]
There is a surprisingly long link in my mind between the Lord of the Rings and Christmas. Although I did not receive Tolkien’s trilogy as a Christmas present, I can recall being thrilled as a child to find the mention of Yule in the Shire calendar in the appendix of the Return of the King. The three movie versions all came out in late December as well, and it became a Christmas tradition to see each one with my Dad on Christmas day (after dinner at a Chinese restaurant). Therefore, I have no … [Read more...]

I don't think this is a very “niche” topic, because let's face it, a lot of us have trouble with those “special days” when dating, not just geeks! It's just that we're prone to getting wrapped up in developing entire worlds, complete with four rival religions with eight classes of priests in each, and strongholds and characters and plotlines... oh. Is that just me? (Don't blame me... I die if I have to DM by the seat of my pants or write in a world I don't know well enough.) Moving … [Read more...]
