Random Thoughts #3

• Looks like I'm going to be playing A Game of Thrones tonight. I'm looking forward to this, as I've heard very good things about the story in all its various forms. I should have a review for the board game up this weekend.
  
• Next week I'll be going to Toronto for RvB:TO. It's going to be a ton of fun, and will even have some gaming aspects to it! I'm taking part in the Bring Your Own Band competition with my "band" Epic Level Encounter, we're playing a D&D 4th Edition Dungeon Delve, and there will be a game of Werewolf going on in the van I'm riding in. I had a blast last year, and am looking to have even more fun this year.
• Too bad for Steve McNair. Cheating's not cool, but you don't deserve to die for it. One the one hand, it's sad that his kids lost their dad and his teammates and friends lost a buddy. On the other hand, he made his bed and slept in it with crazy. It's unfortunate, but it's a situation he had a part in creating, so he's not totally without blame.
  
• In MUCH lighter news, I've joined the world of twitter. I'll try to keep things geeky, but I can't promise that my tweets (that sounds so lame) won't be as trivial as everyone elses. Believe me, I'm just as irrelevant as anyone else there. :P
• Finally, the diet and exercise is paying off. I'm down 25 pounds to a "chucky" 215 rather than my "fluffy" 240. I've almost got my mile time to under 10 minutes, and my 2k row the other day was a personal best 9:53. Hopefully I'll be able to do some damage in the CTF game that we're playing next week. I can't wait!
