This weekend, both of my D&D games happened. My Saturday night game, run by Dulthgaiea, started late and ended really late. There was a lot of rain and only one encounter. One encounter in which Murphy was sitting at the table and proudly rolling dice. There was comedy, sure, but it's the type of comedy where if you have to laugh, lest you fall in a pit of ennui and never come out again. Now Dulth and I get to sort this mess out between games just to keep things moving.

Yesterday was my 4e game. We got through TWO encounters! Two! Ooooo, exciting! ;)

(Mostly it was just the three of us catching up and kvetching for the first half, running through one relatively easy encounter, then lunch out, followed by blowing through a second. We went to South St Burger for lunch. It was...okay? I didn't find the burger patty particularly flavourful, although it was juicy. And why does everything have to be Angus beef these days? Was I expecting too much? I doubt I will go back because it was a 'premium' fast food place, and I have no desire to pay that much for something that I find to be meh.)

I FINALLY GOT TO SEE ROGUE ONE! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE?! I greatly enjoyed it, loved the diverse cast, and the Star Wars easter eggs. I also think that it's my (current) favourite Star Wars film. The story is solid and that ending? Magnifique! If anyone needs me, I'll be over here, geeking out about how amazing it is.

And it's that time of year again; Jump Rope for Heart has rolled around again. Here is Declan's online donate link if you are so inclined: http://support.heartandstroke.ca/goto/bigsister

I have tried SOuth St. Burger and I was unimpressed. too expensive for what it is, and no number of fancy-ass toppings will make up for that in my book.

The fries were good, but that's not enough to keep me going back to a place.

... you loved Rogue One!??! I saw it in theaters with my Gentleman the other week and it was okay, but SO DAMN SAD :( Loved the strong female character, of course, but I hate any kind of bitter in my sweet endings.

It is so rare that Big Budget Hollywood pulls the trigger like that and the way Rogue One ended MADE SENSE. Such a good movie. *geeks out harder*

I know endings like that aren't for everyone, but when the reasoning is there, I am always amazed when it gets past the bigwigs and actually happens.

It did make sense, but I didn't see it coming, because Big Budget Hollywood is suppose to be happy, damn it!!! But good for them for choosing the ending that made sense. The world seems a bit more accepting of tragedy and horror than they once were.
