Watched Explorers with the kids and realized it has the same nostalgia for 50's sci-fi that Stranger Things has for the 80's.

    If we make it to 2050 there will be nostalgia movies about Marvel.

    Classic 80s. I prefer this to Flight of the Navigator and it has that atmosphere that seemed to be unique to 80s sci-fi.

    I remember seeing as a kid and being pissed that the aliens weren't serious (aka, like Star Wars).

    Jay Exonauts Yes, that was a massive letdown for me as well. The rest of the movie had me at the edge of my seat.

    Andy Garske Abby got bored and went to her room and Coop kept asking when the aliens would show up.

Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close.

Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world.

Life is short and unfair.

Life is short and unfair. I don’t even know what to say. Hours after the last picture I posted of Alice and the kids we came home from the movie to find her nearly dead in her kennel. She stayed at the vet for 36 hours, and after making some improvement on the first day, started to fade last night. I was with her when they put her to sleep this morning. We buried her collar and her stuffed elephant under our deck where she liked to crawl just out of reach. Alice had four owners in her short life. She survived being hit by a car and moving from Alabama to Minnesota. Then being moved around in foster care before she got to us. I hope she knew she was with for the long haul. She was a good pup. This is the last picture I took of her. We were visiting her yesterday at the vet, anticipating bringing her home today.
