Was it the race car/city pattern or something else?

I’m sure her cane could get her when she needs to be.

Doing math in my head…

Pushing really hard to move out of central Illinois. I’ve resigned myself to the real possibility of having to do this alone.

Journey to St. Louis today. It is really, really cold out here.

If you're missing the sound of our OG Narrator's voice, have a listen to his Oz 9 Night Before Christmas. And yes, it's the Night Before The Night Before Christmas, but ... just go with it. #Oz9podcast

Oz 9 Narrators on a starry background. Narrator says "It’s quiet aboard the Oz 9 — only the soft click of dice and shuffling of cards interrupt the deep silence. Occasionally an evil laugh, usually followed by a muttered oath, peels through the corridors, bouncing off the walls and startling the egrets into flight. For the Oz 9 has become a TTRPG* of sorts, and the crew are even now sorting out the bumps, rumples, and gaping holes in the game’s design. Or creating more, which is frankly much more likely. The thin and hollow voice of Lady Nibble Biscuit echoes through the hallways, reminding us to keep an eye out for the eventual fund-raising campaign to turn this morass of cards, dice, weird little figures, bits of cardboard, and bad ideas into a game one might voluntarily choose to play. Stay tuned, the voice whispers around corners and from deep in the shadows. “Stay tuned,” indeed. Meanwhile...." N2's text is covered up by the Narrator's speech bubble.

So, not to be overly dramatic or whatnot, but we are officially announcing the soon(ish, maybe, hopefully)-to-be-launched (probably on a Tuesday) OZ 9 THE GAME (fundraiser)! We are in the throes of game creation, and it's silly, chaotic, and hopefully good fun. Hopefully.

Today’s stuck tune is Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel. Thankfully my brain is running it unaltered rather than pulling some Weird Al level stuff.

Things my brain does to me:
Running the song “Gangnam Style” in Elmer Fudd’s voice on repeat.

Things I need to solve:
- The weird buzzing noise in my video card being picked up by my mic.
- The neighbor’s dog being picked up by my mic.
- The creaking floor upstairs being picked up by my mic.
- How to build a warp capable ship, or, barring that, catch a lift with a teaser.

Put them on the Oregon Trail. It’s not that far, I’m sure it’ll be fine.

Well now I know what I’m doing with my spare time during the upcoming holiday.

Blasphemy!
