    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2024?***

    Crooner in the Crooner pipe (Ropp 428B), to be followed by BSF in the Figurehead. Finally on the second "book" of the series, Banquet of the Golden Witch. It'll be awhile before anyone starts dying (it's a time loop thing - same cast and setting as book one, but a different series of events and...

    Original Songs That Covers Can't Match

    A year or two ago I was walking through a grocery store and I swear they were playing a cover of "Fire and Rain". That's just heresy, right there.

    Anyone Play Video Games?

    Because I am apparently a slave to the algorithm and some Fire Emblem content popped up on my YouTube feed, I'm currently nine chapters into Shadow Dragon and planning to work my way through the series. I mean, Fire Emblem 7 (the first one released outside Japan) was pretty good. Should be fun.

    What Are You Drinking? June 2024

    Warsteiner Pilsner (wanted some beer for workdays, liquor is for the days off). The book series was my jam back in elementary school - did it get more adaptation than just a movie of the first book?

    Hey, Anyone Heard of C&Ds "Mad Fiddler"

    Lovecraftian theme, it would be Erich Zann. A mute violinist who lived in... Zurich, iirc? Who played like a madman to keep some sort of unknowable alien monster(s) from stealing him away in the night. Edit - woops, I saw "Inspired by" and jumped to "Correct the origin of the blend's name"...

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2024?***

    Bowl 83 in the figurehead, Crooner. To be followed by more Crooner and finish the evening with War Horse. I was originally planning to go to the cigar lounge this evening, but a long and sweaty day of driving hayrides drained me of energy. Meanwhile in my reading: The survivors have realized...

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2024?***

    Bowl 82 in the figurehead, War Horse. The rain is doing wonders for the atmosphere as I continue to work my way through The Legend of the Golden Witch. Getting near the end, the cast has shrunk from 18 down to 8.

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2024?***

    Beautiful weather today - low to mid 60s, light rain, practically no wind. Bowl 70 with the figurehead meer - War Horse, of course (mental note: get more St Bruno - parfait'd some with War Horse months ago and it was very nice) In my reading: Finally, some murder! It only took like, eight hours...

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2024?***

    Figurehead, Bowl 63. Crooner. In my reading: The inheritance debate is thrown for a loop by a letter from the titular Golden Witch, giving the family until tomorrow to solve the riddle, or she'll begin the process of repossessing the gold she loaned the family patriarch - and take everything to...

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2024?***

    A dreary rainy day means the boss gave me the day off. Coffee on the porch, with bowl 60 of figurehead meer - Night Slices. The bowl's wide enough that I can almost fit a whole coin in width-wise, so I've got about three stacked up and packed. I believe I've observed some coloration on the sides...

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2024?***

    Enjoying the blue-gray skies as the rain that was threatening all day finally falls. Bowl 59 in the figurehead, War Horse. Currently reading the part of Legend Of The Golden Witch where family patriarch Kinzo refuses to leave his study to have lunch with his children and grandchildren because...

    Any Tea Drinkers?

    Like, tobacco instead of tea leaves? Probably as like, a medical tincture by a native shaman or a new age hippie or something. Or, burning tobacco as the heat source to boil water? That sounds like a way to turn your campfire into a fragrant delight that repels insects, and an enormous waste of...

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2024?***

    Bowl 45 in the figurehead - finishing off my open Dreams of Kadath and reading Legend Of The Golden Witch on the porch.

    What are You Reading Now?

    I've been struck by an itch to reread the Umineko series. Just starting today with episode 1, "Legend of the Golden Witch". In brief- 1986, Japan. The private island of an extravagantly wealthy family. The patriarch confines himself to his study. Having been given six months to live, he...

    School's Out For Summer! Possibly Forever?!

    What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2024

    I saw this thing at the tobacconist the other day, said "Jesus Christ what the hell", and promptly bought one for the sheer novelty factor. Asylum 13, 80 gauge.

    How Many Open Blends?

    Five open pouches, a big glass jar thing that probably holds 8 ounces and is full, one mason jar, and about ten open tins.

    Any Guesses as to What this Mystery Object Might Be?

    There were giants in those days, and their size was equalled only by their nerdiness. That's a d12, for greataxes and barbarian hit points.

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***

    Bowl 41 in the figurehead, in the local lounge. 'tis Crooner. Congratulations also to this pipe for being the third I've named - "Jeannie C", after the Stan Rogers song.

    And Your Favourite Cheese Is?

    The Espresso variant is my favorite. Hmmm, coffee-cheese.
