Skarka lists Star Trek Adventures Core Book in his credits. And the Beta Quadrant sourcebook.

He doesn't appear in the credits for either of them.

Modiphius had promised to disclose which product(s) he'd worked on.

Barring a very good explanation from Modiphius, I think I'm done buying their products. I do not like being misled.

Because this is where I talk about food, let me state: Bellevue is weird.

There is an Arco AM/PM about a block from my office, and it is clean and well-lit with wide aisles. It's an appealing place to shop.

It's not dingy and poorly lit and cramped-feeling.

YAY! DICE.CAMP IS BACK!

Update: The driver delivered to the wrong address. The printer is up and calibrating now.

My Prusa is due today. UPS shows delivered. Reality says, "Nope!"

Called UPS. Tweeted at UPSHelp. We'll see what happens.

Our cat doesn't seem to be suffering from separation anxiety, even with Steph now back at work full-time.
We're still looking for a companion for her, but knowing that she seems to be okay alone relieves a ton of pressure.

Gout. Either it's not just for old people anymore, or else I'm old people, now.

Oh, good. It's back! Thanks @olde_fortran

Just ordered a new 3D printer. Should be here in 2-3 months (Prusa nearly always has a backlog).

Took a step this morning towards adopting a new kitty. It's surprisingly difficult.

Not the process - "find a cat, express interest, meet the cat" is simple.

It's the emotions. I need to keep reminding myself that I'm not replacing RamRam and the Fuzz - I'm supplementing the Butterball. For the Butterball.

... and Steph has, after five months of active searching, managed to find a job. We're going to dinner tonight to celebrate.

This is absolutely the best gift I could have received from anyone ever for any reason.

I had a Mocha Monstrosity(TM) this morning. It's a Starbuck's thing.

It's an iced vanilla mocha with double the normal coffee and double the normal amount of vanilla.

My typical caffeine intake right now is one can of soda every week, so right now, I CAN HEAR MY TEETH.

It's that time of year again.

Tonight, I went out drinking with my HS D&D group. Or, more accurately, "Strategic Games Club." I haven't seen most of these guys in 20+ years.

"It's weird," one of them said, "We really only start gathering socially when someone dies. That's why I decided it was time to get together with you all again, because death is a lousy reason to gather."

He's right. It is. But it's not an uncommon reason.

I need to remember what the difference between Wing Stop and a salt lick is BEFORE I go there for lunch again.

The answer, BTW: Nothing. There is no difference between Wing Stop and a salt lick.

One of our favorite customers just brought a dozen donuts for the crew.

Given our staff today, that's six donuts per person.

I am so bad at adulting.

Panera: Better than Jimmy John's. Less expensive than Jimmy John's. And - most importantly - now delivering to my office.

It's too warm to wear a coat. It's too cold not to wear a coat. This whole "put the coat on, work for ten/fifteen minutes and then remove the coat" thing is really annoying. And makes me worry that I might still have a bit of a fever.
