B5, Bedlam Bards and a Board Game Survey

Had a great time at the house filk yesterday. Thanks so much to Sally for hosting this fun event! We also found out that the Bedlam Bards are going to be performing at FilKONtario. The Bards are a Celtic duo who sing (among other types of music) songs based on Firefly and Serenity.

Urban Tapestry recently learned a Bedlam Bards Song (a Firefly song brought to us by Allison), and I'm looking forward to hearing the Bards perform.

Five seasons' worth of Babylon Five


I've updated Babylon Five Virgin with two episode reports, for those interested. And thanks to our friend Scott Murray for lending us his boxed sets!

Some random photos...

Trans Europa


Above: Jeff and I have been playing Trans Europa with my family lately; I first played at Reid's and Luisa's New Year's party with Walter and his family. Fun game, easy rules, short.

Another game I've been enjoying: Werewolf. Each player draws a card to discover their role: Werewolf, Villager, or Seer (a special Villager). Each night, the Werewolf or Werewolves kill a Villager. Each day, the Villagers vote on the player they suspect is a Werewolf, and the voted player is out of the game. It's a great game to play by candlelight. :-)

Guitar Hero - like handheld game


Speaking of games, my friend Mabuta introduced me to a Japanese computer game that seems a LOT like Guitar Hero, except you use a stylus to tap different places on the computer screen in time with the music. Meanwhile, there are lots of entertaining animations going on in the top screen, but unfortunately I couldn't understand any of the kanji. :-)

SURVEY:



What's the last BOARD GAME you played?

What's the last COMPUTER GAME you played?
