Some fun links--a great list of sites for holiday gifts and a fun breakdown of the best of 2006 in TV (not best shows, but other categories) (Chicago Trib registration required).

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Hey Gamer People!
What's a good D&D related gift for about $40?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
H. Crap, that Chicago Trib recognizes Pscyh twice and calls back to Donald Faison's "Poison" dance-- best 2006 recap so far!

What's a good D&D related gift for about $40?
Any D&D rule/supplement book, as that's about how much one of those books will cost.
Which book? Well that all depends on which books the giftee in question doesn't already have. Just going by my own wants, and the wants of others, it tends to be very individual and specific, meaning it's probably not possible to surprise them as to really find out what D&D gift would be best for them, you'll want to just flat out ask them. It's otherwise just too likely that you'll either duplicate a book they already have, or get them something they weren't really interested in (though getting a book they weren't planning on buying, they'd probably like and keep it anyway, since they got it free, but one or two of the books are pretty lame).

Seriously though- how sick am I that I'm envious of Chicago buried under a blanket of snow?
Laga, it looks like there's a good chance we're going to get hit by more precip next week (though I don't know if it'll be cold enough for snow, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is) according to the long-term forecast over at the Tribune. They were predicting a higher-than-average-snowfall for December back in mid-November, so you'll have lots to be envious about!
I'm going out and getting my boots after payday this Friday (as well as a new pair of gym shoes, finally replacing my nearly year-old Payless pair that I've worn just about daily since buying them), after getting all my Xmas shopping done.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
It's very quiet here, as G is away on business.

I was wondering where they got their list of books to compare with, and they use the libraries that people enter.

The partner in the office next to me just roused me to have a look at the moon out of his office window. I think that's odd, yet sweet.

It is a beautiful moon tonight.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
What night was it that it was mad windy? A few nights ago, anyway. I was walking home, and the clouds were just whipping across the nearly-full moon, and it was good times.
How were there only three posts in the three hours since I left the office? Falling down on the job, people!
