There’s an official get-back-under-the-thumb-of-the-boss-class event on Thursday, and it looks like I need to be in the office during business hours (or more) Wed-Fri from next week onward. This may not be consistent with gaming.

Read: Call of the Night vol 1 (Kotoyama): A disaffected teenager meets an obnoxious vampire while wandering the night streets, and decides he wants to be a vampire too. Unfortunately, this version of vampirism requires him to fall in love with her, and she is pretty obnoxious.

Read: King of Attolia (Megan Whalen Turner): Not as twisty as the previous books, but then we know too much about Gen by now to take anything at face value. Costis doesn’t, though. Poor Costis.

Read: White Trash Warlock (David R Slayton): Urban fantasy with extreme doom for minor characters, and moderate doom (with bonus family drama) for major characters. Being gay and having Second Sight in Oklahoma is Not So Great.

Words: check, barely.
