In the noble low-budget tradition of Dungeon Majesty: Fantasy Bedtime Hour. Two women in bed read and discuss Lord Foul's Bane. (Visually work-safe thanks to strategically placed sheets, AFAICT from brief examination; audio probably not work-safe.)

"My son becomes a man, gets +2 STR, +1 DEX." A geek's pride as his 13-year-old son gets his first set of roleplaying dice.

Tuesday, the RAAF will be holding a funeral service in Hanover for the crew of a Lancaster PB290 bomber shot down in 1944. One of them, Richard Hawthorn, was a cousin of my late grandmother; beyond that, all I know about it is what's in the article.

Reasons not to see 'Wedding Crashers'. I don't think there's any topic that should be completely off-bounds for humour - one of the ways we cope with wrongness in our world is to joke about it - but *trivialising* rape is remarkably uncool.

OTOH, 'Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit' was very good. IMHO, best Aardman so far :-) And several gags in there that the little ones *won't* get...

About 18months ago we found out where my father's cousin's grave is, {the family didn't know all this time either,} who was also in the RAAF {a warrant officer in Lancasters & Halifax's} during WW2.KIA in August 1944. It's surprising how many Lancasters and Halifax's went down and how young so many of the crew were. . :(
