Hobblog? no no *no*
Yesterday… played a game of MtG with Hunter last night. Allies vs Eldrazi… in a flavor-y sense, you’d think that’d be really dramatic. But in fact, it was just a long, dull board-stall of a match, since each of us was playing huge creatures and not enough removal. I eventually won by giving a Pathrazer regen and just dragging everything down into an Annihilator death-spiral. I’m liking the Eldrazi quite a bit, though. (I picked up the Eldrazi Arisen intro pack on Friday… I love intro packs in general.)
The new Lookouts story on Penny Arcade hasn’t really grabbed me. The art is gorgeous, but Tycho’s accompanying verse is waaaaaaaay too obtuse.
Hobby log (needs snappier title)
to follow-up on the last post
Mogo: I took 2nd place in the SPDC on Thursday! I was playing a RBg Burn Blightning variant. Fun, down-to-the-wire matches abounded. You can find a decklist & more details on the PDC site.
A/V: Watched the Royal Tenebaums on Saturday for the first time. Fantastic cast of Wes Anderson’s trademark larger-than-life losers. Loved all the little touches. It’s probably become my second-fave Anderson flick, after The Darjeeling Limited.
Text: Still reading A Feast for Crows.
Audio: Listened to a few of podcasts & NPR shows this week, per usual, though not as many as most weeks– it’s been rainy, so I only worked half-days in the greenhouse. Narrative Control was interesting this week, and got me thinking about indie RPGs again, specifically Dogs in the Vineyard. Mike Birbiglia’s story on This American Life was great too, though I’d heard it before.
Next week: Herb plantin’. Postcard writin’. Maybe even Nodeslam recordin’…
