although the story is bittersweet, it does speak to idea of anticipating the full light & energy of real love, and that is why I thought this might be a good video to share on Imbolc, the second Sabbat of the Wiccan Wheel of the Year - it’s recognizing the seed, knowing if we nurture it just a bit longer, it will grow into something magical - new life, the return of the Sun - it’s Brigid’s holiday - she was the Lightbringer - for me, she is a Goddess of Hope & Faith
the kid in Touch would love JoCo’s song, I think LOL

I am not too proud, or too “adult” to say that when I watched this commercial, I sat here with my mouth agape, swept away under Deathwing’s destructive spell. This commercial made it’s debut during the Cowboys/Vikings game. So one form of gaming glory was the vehicle for another….Of course, if it had been a [...]
As I may have mentioned, I’ll be at BlizzCon this year, along with thousands of my closest gaming buddies. If you’ll be at BlizzCon, too, you can say “Mok’ra!” or “Bal’a Dash, Malanore!” (I’ll even be nice if you come up and say, “Ishnu-alah!”) Simply find me through FourSquare; I’ll be posting locations throughout the [...]
