Ooh

Ooh, boooks. PSA: I am *not* a materialistic book whore.

I have acquired:

The Hallowed Hunt (Bujold's latest Challion!)
Several Greg Egan
Atrocity archives (second hand, still on its way)
Wacom graphics tablet. Grpahical representation of my humours, here we come!

It all makes a surprisingly small compact package[1].

I don't think I deserve the tablet though, we may agree to make it a retrospective early christmas present from family, on account of if I keep buying cool and unnescessary stuff myself there'll be nothing anyone can get for me if they want to.

Drinking games

Why are drinking games good? Because they add a competitive[1] edge to even simple games by giving you something to lose, but are inherently self-limiting by having no incentive to go on and try to win back what you lost :)

[1] Assuming you think a little competitive is fun.
