We’re now five days into the “family” portion of the visit and luckily the jet lag is finally starting to wear off. Highlights so far included seeing Finding Nemo (which I loved) and visiting the Mishawaka Brewing Company (which the Snook loved). It’s so weird seeing my family after so long. My younger cousins have…

Well, we’re here. That was literally the longest day of my life. After nearly twenty hours of transport, the Snook and I are safe and sound back home in Indiana. And yeah, I finished Harry Potter. No, I didn’t love it.

(My hair’s a quarter Asian, after all!) I’ve always worn it pretty long because I like to put it in braids and ponytails. 2. How…

Trogdor the Sweater-Wearing BurninatorRodd wore his new green jumper to work for the first time today and apparently it’s having a weird effect. People keep talking to him. He sent me the following extremely nerdy (and extremely funny) e-mail about it: ———-Extract from the Dungeon Masters Guide, Vol. 3 : Extraordinary Creatures and Treasures for…
