The Athenaeum - Reading updates and Literary Review from the Obsidian Elite (this means you)
Stormlight Archive is the only Sanderson I've read and now, I guess, the only Sanderson I will read. I want to see where he goes with the rest of this series and I don't want to burn out on him.

Pachfinder Bugmaker: The Rekkoning
As buggy as it was and as frustrating as kingdom management could be, I still probably played this game more than any other over the last year. A new game would be an instant pre-order/buy.

I have a problem with eating regularly as I often forget to eat because I get caught up in whatever I'm doing. I made my wife a burrata salad with arugula, roasted cherry tomatoes, strawberries, crushed hazelnuts, and drizzled with balsamic vinegar. I made myself a grilled cheese sandwich and then spent the remainder of the evening with a stomach ache.- Forum Comments and Issues Repository

Dealt with a screaming baby half the evening. Thank baby whatever you believe in for a mamaroo. At least my dogs and I are bonding over this shared misery.- The Blockbuster Oscar Bait Movie Thread
Wine Country on Netflix. I really like these kinds of humorous feel good movies and this was a good example of the genre. A bunch of mostly SNL vets star as aging women friends on a Napa destination birthday party for one of their friends. The wife and I really enjoyed it. Not a perfect exemplar of its type but a solid entry.- Forum Comments and Issues Repository
I've had a few posts that seem to have broken something so that I can't edit or even quote them. Usually, they have too much blank space and introduced horizontal scrolling (which isn't even needed) for me. I've reported the most recent of those posts because I didn't know what else to do with it.- Lets Get Political

I skipped the last Season of True Blood and while I liked the Psych ending I didn't think it stuck the landing well enough. Castle is another show I watched to completion but didn't really like the end of but in that case, I believe they shot different endings in case the show got renewed. I didn't like the Voyager, House, or the X-Files finales either and I'm now realizing I've just dropped a few other shows before the end came like with Scrubs, Babylon 5, and the aforementioned True Blood. Elementary is ending after the upcoming season so we'll see how that goes. I don't remember the end of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air even though I'm sure I've seen it- TV & streaming thread
Parks and Rec, TNG, DS9, Cheers, Seinfeld and I kinda liked the end of Community as well. I've not watched a lot of newer shows due to lack of interest so my list is somewhat limited.- RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS
Seems kinda overblown to me, at least from the consumer perspective, as there's always a risk of a sale and you paying more than if you just had luckier timing. I'd file it under things that would be more generally accepted if Valve was doing it. Speaking of which, didn't Steam sales used to be crazy low prices back in the day? I don't know if Gaben was eating those loses entirely on his end and I may be misremembering but I do vaguely recall Steam sales actually being a can't miss event way back when.- TV & streaming thread

Was planning on cutting the grass today but it's too cold out. I refuse to go outside unless I absolutely have to when it's sub 60 out. - Pachfinder Bugmaker: The Rekkoning
