I swear, we were just doing Halloween, and now we’ve just crossed the threshold to December and the final winding down of the year. Where does the time go? I don’t even have the Thanksgiving holiday madness to blame anything on! At best, I can point to the last week at work and our final large conference to run A/V for. Which went well and the clients were happy — cue applause.

It’s been a busy weekend, and now we’re here on Monday. I could go for another few hours of sleep, but alas, it’s not in the cards.

I’m sure I’ll perk up once I get a good helping of the free food at work today. Free food makes everything better.

The new Hearthstone set has our favorite Infinite Pirate Dragon, and now they’ve gotten a promotion! No longer a mere Time Captain, now they’re an Admiral. Does that mean that there are whole fleets of pirate ships out there under the command of a Dragon? Does that feel more or less dangerous than a regular old dragon?

Surely it can’t be that hard to convince a bunch of pirates to follow you if you are a dragon, y’know, you’ve got all those claws and teeth and such. I just feel like it’s more impressive if they’re achieving their goals through straight-up Dragon stuff, rather than convincing a bunch of weak-willed pirates to do pirate stuff.

Yes, all of this was an excuse to use this card art as my header. Why do you ask?

While I go find more awesome card art in the new Hearthstone expansion, it’s time for — The Queue!

Halloween may be over for the year, but next year’s is just a few hundred days away; that’s practically nothing! Before we know it, we’ll be getting our fill of fun-sized candy and pumpkin-flavored things. It’s almost not worth mentioning any other holidays between now and then.

Plus, you can always honor Halloween in your heart and try to keep it all the year. I read something similar to that sentiment in a book once… and I’ve seen it in a surprising number of movies.

Like too many movies, and somehow there are going to be two more versions soon?! Forget the war on Christmas, I wanna join up on the war on The Christmas Carol. 

While I go and look for more discount Halloween candy, it’s time for — The Queue!

It’s only a few sleeps until Halloween!

It should always be on a Friday, it seems more fun that way. At the very least, it should always have a day off after it. Give everyone the chance to recover from the sugar crash. Who do I have to bribe to make that happen? I’ll do it, I’ll sacrifice some of my candy if that’s what it takes.

While I figure out the best mini chocolate bar to bribe someone with, it’s time for — The Queue!

It was my birthday! I’m another year older and maybe wiser… maybe. Let’s not be hasty.

It was a great weekend of fun times with my favoritest person ever. I still have another day off, and I’m going to enjoy it by *checks notes* voting in my city election and running a car-related errand? Is that right? Dang, being older is lame. At least I have cake!

We’ve done it, we’ve reached the end of the week, and can celebrate! Especially since the next time I see you all, I’ll be another year older! My birthday is this weekend, and my favoritest person in the world has some secret plans for me to celebrate it. I’ve also done the positively luxurious thing and taken a four-day weekend — I know, you can be jealous right now.

So, I’m all set for a great weekend, and I hope that you’ll all have one just as good.

We have a fresh patch for Heroes of the Storm that have made some big changes to how easy it is to take buildings, but that's a small change compared to the brand-new mount that was just added to the game.

I know that Hallow’s End hasn’t started yet, but at least I’m not playing Christmas music like that one store I was in… last weekend! It wasn’t even October yet!!! Halloween is supposed to be the barrier that stops Christmas from leaking too far forward; honestly, it should be Remembrance Day on November 11, but at least Halloween is big and commercial enough that it could stand a chance. Clearly, someone has been getting too much of a jump start on their Christmas decoration buying, and it’s ruined everything. I blame Mariah Carey.

At least I still have lots of pumpkin spice flavored things to keep me warm, plus with Canadian Thanksgiving upon me, I have eggnog in stores again! Best of all, the pumpkin-shaped Reese’s are back in stock, and they’re the best! I don’t know why they taste better than regular cups, or even the other holiday shapes — they just do.

While I do more taste-testing on different Reese shapes, it’s time for — The Queue!

I ordered a new razor on Amazon recently, and it arrived that same day! That’s so quick! Unbelievably quick. Too quick. Mankind was not meant to have such convenience at our fingertips. I’m going to show my age here, but anything ordered online should take at a minimum two weeks to arrive, and more often four weeks. That’s just the natural order of things!

Most of the time, we didn’t even know if the thing we ordered was legit, or if we’d just gotten scammed. You just had to assume that things were going to work out with your things. Ah, the memories.

The new razor is good, though! It turns out if you spend more than the minimum amount on a product, sometimes you get a good product.

While I go and place an order for more cat food to arrive at my door before this even goes live, it’s time for — The Queue!
