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’…

Their recent episode on Parasites was a tad gross but way fascinating. (For instance, one of the stories poses the question: “Could the crazy cat-lady phenomenon have a scientific, even biological basis?” Strange science indeed.)
