Sherlock Holmes And The Adventure Of The Vanished Vulcan

…Holmes meets Trek, baby

Le Hot Updatage

1: We went to see “Monster House” yesterday. Good  flick. Excellent CGI animation…nice scares…plenty of laughs…a fairly touching ending. Two thumbs up.

2: Bought a bunch of Oolong tea, as well as some Yerba Mate, yesterday. Yum Yum.

3: We paid for our October vacation to Hawaii. There will still be some incidental taxes and such, but the airfare, hotels and rental cars are a done deal. We leave on Oct. 2nd and return on Oct. 9th, no doubt rested and relaxed and full up of great food. Oh, and probably packing a ton of pictures and video footage.

4: I ran the second episode of “The Adventures Of Zora” today for our gaming group. It was, as expected, action packed. There were killer skeletons, annoying homonculi, rather innocuous zombies, a deranged lich, a giant badger, a collapsing castle, cute little flying squirrel people, a strange fog and deadly ambulatory trees. A good time was had by all. Well, all except the deranged lich.

5: We watched a classic Doctor Who story, “The Talons of Weng Chiang”. Grace had never seen any classic Who and she liked it just fine. I have a few more discs of Whovian goodness on my Netflix queue, so she’ll get to see more Tom Baker, as well as several of the other Doctors.

6: Got an email from a fellow who is running a Toon LARP at GenCon this year. He wanted my advice, which I happily shared. If yer gonna be at the con and yer interested in Toon silliness, check it out.

And now, curry, Cherokee Purple tomatoes and chocolate cupcackes.
