Normally, our dog sleeps in my parents' room. Since they're gone, I figured I would at least sleep with my door open, so he'd be able to come in if he got lonely or needed something. (He had a tooth extracted last week and had been a little under the weather, so we're being a bit cautious.)

I did not anticipate that what would happen is that he would decide that it was breakfast time at 4:15 and sit by my bed making sad "No one has ever fed me in my life" noises. I have no idea if he does that normally. My parents do get up earlier than I do, but not that early.

So tonight the bedroom door stays closed, I guess.

My boardgame today is Arkham Horror: the Card Game, which I got as a gift a while ago and somehow...never played? Which is a shame, as I am having an immense amount of fun with it. It's a really good game for my tastes - it tells a story over multiple game sessions, there are a bunch of different characters you can play with access to different cards*, you can level up while you play, and you get to make choices that influence later episodes. It's great.

The trouble is, it is one of Fantasy Flight Games' "Living Card Games", which means that they periodically release expansions with new episodes to tell new stories. Which is terrible because not only do I like this game a lot, but that kind of thing immediately activates my Collector Urge and friends, I want to play all of them.

I will have to assign myself something productive do that will allow me to earn purchasing new installments, I guess.




*Which immediately makes me want to replay the whole game with each available character.
