short takes

Holiday amnesty season (link from browngirl).

siderea on consideration, and a followup posted since I started to compile this entry.

Lou Berryman likes the additions On the Mark has made to "A Chat With Your Mother". She says they might start doing them. Neat! (We haven't made lyrics changes -- more like "commentary".) I'm tickled when authors (1) hear our treatments of their material and (2) like what they hear.

Our D&D campaign has entered the free-form, characters-might-do-anything final arc. This is causing our GM to have to work extra hard to anticipate us. I hope we can all get onto the same wavelength so that we do the things he's prepared for us to do without anyone feeling railroaded. (Personally, I don't mind railroading in pursuit of a good story, but I don't think that's true of everyone in the game.)
