Gamestorm

Had a good time down at Gamestorm in Portland. It's usually a moderate turn-out RPGA event, and as usual I spent much of the time visiting with people who also drove down from Seattle.

Reign Over Me

Last week I went to see Reign Over Me with tara_firma. It was pretty good. While it used the backdrop of 9/11 as a story motivator that the audience would easily identify with, it was kept in the background. There were two subplots that stood out as strange and unrealistic: namely that dentists attract stunningly beautiful stalkers, and that said stalker's therapist would in any way facilitate her interaction with anyone much less a fellow patient.

Otherwise, a nicely done movie about the difficulties of communication and coping with profound loss.
