We went shopping, but for used books and comics and dishwashing soap. \u00a0I don’t like having to park and stop on steep hills; I’m always afraid the car is going to slam back into the car behind me before I can accelerate.<\/p>\n
Right now I have Ghost Adventures<\/em> on the TV for ambient noise. \u00a0My husband is watching S.H.I.E.L.D.<\/em> on the bedroom TV. \u00a0A brass band is practicing in one direction down the street, and music is blaring in the other direction, and in the distance, ships blare their huge, bellowing horns.<\/p>\n Mini-review: \u00a0Jordan Mechner’s Templar<\/em><\/a> is awesome. \u00a014th century heist caper graphic novel for the win. \u00a0The characters stood out for me, the action scenes were beautifully drawn, and …hey, it’s Templars. \u00a0I have a huge weakness for religious conspiracy theories, and the Templars are of course the granddaddies of such things.<\/p>\n To document Thanksgiving itself: \u00a0on the 1-10 meter between ‘YAY HOLIDAY’ and ‘everything is bad and wrong,’ I hovered at about a 4, which is better than I’ve been in years. \u00a0Two weeping fits and two pieces of pumpkin pie. \u00a0Pork loin carnitas, potatoes roasted with adobo and garlic, and kale with yellow peppers and onions.<\/p>\n I’m still documenting my beginning efforts at origami here<\/a>. \u00a0I’m in a fantastic Lexicon game here<\/a>. \u00a0My brilliant husband is working on Hillfolk playsets on his blog, the first of which is here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
