    Nowadays I mostly work from home (which I will keep doing also post pandemic), but when I need to go to the office I'll take the train.

    I suspect as more and more of the US awakens, that bar will tip towards NO.

    In this moment, I am euphoric. Not because of any phony god’s blessing. But because, I am enlightened by my intelligence.

    Someone suggested the LotR game they wanted to see was essentially Stardew Valley but in the Shire and that sounds pretty good to me.

    When I got my booster they had the clinic setup in one of the buildings in the complex and I wandered over to my old desk.

    Going back in there was freaking eerie. Hardcore Pripyat vibes.

    Against my better judgement I am feeling vague and no doubt soon to be ruthlessly crushed by bitter experience feelings of hopeful anticipation for the LotR TV show.

    But surely the most likely outcome is it ends up pompous and staid and lacking the earnest heart and open emotional warmth of the movies (not The Hobbit movies, those sucked), while simultaneously flattening and dulling what was once a mythic backstory. Everyone's costumes will be shiny and newly-pressed and all the actors will be too good-looking.

    Curse that still small voice in the back of my head saying what if it's good though?

    Working from home is the best.

    Some days I don't shower or change into fresh pajama pants until 6-7 in the evening.

    I think I would like to play or run:
    1. The One Ring 2E
    2. Star Trek Adventures
    3. Call of Cthulhu

    But possibly what would scratch this itch is hauling out my MERP ICE campaign settings and poring over them one more time. Yes, yes, show me a detailed internal map of Isengard and the many traps Saruman has in his inner sanctum.
