Car seat, Chrome in Linux and Don't Rest Your Head

I went on Sunday to buy Edith a toddler bed after she jumped off her crib's changing table. In case you're not aware of this (and I guess I should have been) Toys R Us is NOT a nice place to shop this close to Christmas. In the confusion and chaos I left Frances's car seat in the parking lot (don't worry, the girls were home with Kristina. You need all the room you can get if you're hauling a bed in a Kia Rio). So, Kristina and I don't notice my epic fail until this morning and Frances has a check up (which the phone service thinks is with Family Planning Clinic for some ridiculous reason). So, Kristina is late for work and I'm calling everywhere to see if they have my car seat. Toys R Us has me on hold for almost 10 minutes, the swine! Anyway, I'm off to Target to buy a new one. Stupid car seats not being visible in my mirrors while I flee from the madness!

Chrome has a Linux beta now. I'm pretty happy. After Karmic Koala ate my Chromium Browser, I was using a highly modded Firefox. Forget that business now that Chrome is here. Seriously, if you're not using Chrome, get it now. It's a fantastic browser (oh, that you can't watch Netflix in, sadly) Stupid Netflix and Silverlight *shakes fist*



My Don't Rest Your Head rule book arrived today. Smallest. RPG. Ever. But I already knew that, I guess. It's just crazy to compare it to something like Pathfinder (don't own that one) which is probably the most colossal RPG rule book I've ever seen. Forget you, Pathfinder! I'm digging DRYH's streamlined feel. Any game where your character sheet can fit on an index card is ok in my book. Good job Evil Hat. Your game is tiny and fun. We need more of that in the RPG world.

Glad to hear you like! It might be a thin book, but I've honestly seen smaller and thinner at the Indie Press Revolution booth. :)

We've played our first session a couple weeks back and I'm loving it.

I feel like every D&D character I've ever rolled, good bad or indifferent, belonged in Mad City and not Greyhawk, or wherever.
