Tonight I learned (thankfully) that my flight tomorrow is at 9pm, not 9am as I originally thought.
Can we all please switch to a 24 hour clock? The fact that my phone is set to military time is the only reason I even realized my mistake.

My third of four November trips will be at pax unplugged. Gonna be trying to play some Avatar. Who will be there?
I am so excited for PAX Unplugged this weekend! Who am I seeing there? I’ll be cosplaying at the Asmodee booth all weekend and I’m packing way too many decks! I’m working on a few new commander decks from the Avatar the Last Airbender set so I might try to finish one of them to bring!

Yesterday I played bass drum in my college’s halftime show.
Today I’m headed to an LGS to play prerelease.
Some things never change.

They really need to fix the bug where I own a dozen hair clips but can locate zero of them when needed.

Been having a lot of fun (and medium success) with the new Bazaar character Jules.
I think the randomized placement of your stoves/coolers does a lot to make runs interesting, especially since the typal component of her pool is so flat compared to other characters.
Feast is great.
