Better things in life.

Of which there are many. I just don't always write about them here. ;-)

In no particular order...

It's time for Ann Arbor's Summer Festival, that paean to the season when almost all of the students have gone away, and the locals come out to play. Alas, I missed catching the Ladysmith Black Mambazo show tonight. (For free, even! Thanks for the offer though, atothek) I do have very nice tickets for the TMBG concert on July 3rd. The next free movie I aim to catch is Iron Giant on Tuesday night.

I have a date for the TMBG concert. More accurately, I'm going to the TMBG concert because of having a date. Technically a second date, even though neither of us realized that the first time was a date until the morning after. Yeah, one of those things.

Tomorrow night (urmm, this evening, at this point) I re-don the mantle of Evil DM for my Friday night group of hard-core players, after having taken a several month break. In planning to excise one particular module in the series of the Dungeon Adventure Path (which I mentioned back when) I figured I'd compensate with some more personalized storylines. I already have one of the players unwittingly carrying a token that's a scry focus allowing The Enemy to map out the players' fortress. Hee!

My cold has gone away. So has my undergraduate Lab Slave/Mad Science Protege, but the cold and the undergrad departures are unrelated. My cold didn't ask for letters of recommendation.

I have central air in my apartment. It means that I can sleep in a dry apartment, instead of the pea-soup humidity that's outside my windows. Ahh, summer in Michigan...

And I can tell from the increasing randomness, I should go to bed now...
